Product Review: Truth Bars

"Gut health" seems to be a bit of a buzz term lately. Why is it important?

In short, gut health affects our overall well-being from autoimmune disorders, mental health, digestive issues, and the list goes on. 

One way to have good gut health is to include probiotics (good bacteria) and prebiotics (food for probiotics) in your diet. If sauerkraut isn't your thing, never fear - the Truth Bar is here!

Truth Bars have 1 billion probiotic CFU's, fiber rich prebiotics, micronutrients and healthy fats which will contribute to a healthy gut flora. 

With so many protein supplements abounding, many people are not suffering from protein deficiency. They may, however, be deficient in good healthy fats, carbs, fiber, or probiotics. That's what founders, Sean Fay and Diana Stobo, knew. Thus, the Truth bar was born, founded on the truth that overall well being starts in the gut. 

Here comes the but. But how does it taste?

Diana is a French trained baker and chocolatier and it is evident! These bars taste almost like candy bars (Let's not be crazy, a candy bar is a candy bar lol). 

They come in four flavors: Dark Chocolate Coconut, Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Almond Crunch, and Chocolate Raspberry Coconut. 

Dark Chocolate Coconut

I heard this flavor compared to a Mounds bar and that is truly accurate. It has a pleasing dark chocolate coating (as they all do) and a sweet, moist, coconut interior. It was truly delightful!

Chocolate Almond Crunch

Another win! Obviously, I love that they are all coated in chocolate. This one had a chewier, nutty interior. The only criticism I have is that mine wasn't very "crunchy" so that part of the name seemed a little misleading.

I still need to try the Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Raspberry Coconut but I have high hopes!




 Do you take probiotic supplements or try to incorporate probiotic and prebiotic foods into your diet? What are your thoughts on probiotic bars?

    I LOVE these bars!! The coconut and raspberry are my favorites. I take my probiotics daily however I think this is an awesome way to add a bit more to my diet. I love the concept of the bars for my clients and my hubby who is stubborn about taking supplements.

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don
