Going for the Gold - Grab the Gold Protein Bar Review

Going for the gold means you're aiming to win, right? 


So when I saw a protein bar called "Grab the Gold", I thought these must be winners. How could they be anything less?

I wanted to see if they lived up to their name. I haven't seen too many people eating these bars or talking about them but I have seen them sold at Publix and Amazon. 

They tout their bars are made with clean ingredients and:
  • plant based
  • high potassium
  • high fiber
  • Kosher
  • gluten free
So many chocolate chips!
Danielle, the founder and CEO, first developed these snack bars when she was just 16 years old. They hand craft the bars in small batches using simple ingredients like oats, peanut butter, non GMO soy flour, and organic cane sugar. 

I first tried the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip flavor. The bar has a strong peanut butter flavor, while being very sweet. It was loaded with small chocolate chips. It was chewy with a slight crunch and had texture from the oats. I thought it was very tasty! 

The Peanut Butter and Jelly flavor is very similar but with dried cranberries instead of chocolate chips for a take on the classic flavor combo. 

I would personally choose the chocolate chip flavor because I love chocolate! 

These bars are 193 calories 5f/25c/11p.  The only potential negatives are that it is lower in protein that most whey based protein bars and it uses soy which some people do not prefer. 

Overall, I think they are a delicious snack bar and great for satiety! Have you grabbed the gold yet?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

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
