Product Review: Numa Milk Chews!

First of all, what the heck is a "milk chew"?


I had no idea. But I wanted to try it.

A milk chew is milk based chewy treat inspired by Tawainese nougat. It reminded me of a sort of nougat, taffy-like candy. So what makes Numa milk chews special?


  • no artificial ingredients
  • artificial ingredients and preservative free
  • less sugar
  • healthy vitamins  
They use traditional methods and high-quality ingredients and I could tell. It tasted sweet and rich with a great chewy texture. You know when you go to an old-fashioned candy shop and get the candy that was made fresh? That's what this was like! It tasted REAL and fresh. The name "Numa" actually comes from the Chinese characters for daughter and mother because this candy was based on Joyce's mother's handmade treats. She had an autoimmune disorder and enjoyed her mother, Jane's healthy treats. Now they share that with all of us! 

They have less calories, fat and sugar than a granola bar or ordinary candy. They have more protein and vitamins and make a great snack pre-workout, traveling, at work, or basically anything! I would definitely take these on a road trip or plane or just as a nice sweet treat for any day! 

They currently have one flavor with peanuts and dried cranberries but they are coming out with two new flavors soon! Stay tuned - I'm so excited for the new flavors!

What is your favorite candy to get at an old fashioned candy shop? I used to love pralines!

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...
