Product Review: Purple, Yummy, and Easy on the Tummy!

I've got a riddle for you. 

What's purple, yummy, and easy on the tummy? 

I'll tell you. 

It's Beviva Foods snacks! Beviva Foods produces Sweet Potato Chips, Cereal Cups, and Granola Pouches.

But these aren't your average, every-day snacks. These snacks were created with a purpose. The founder, Sylvia, was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2011. She dealt with the debilitating symptoms while working and caring for her three children. 

She was inspired to create Beviva Snacks so that others who are dealing with digestive issues and sensitivities can have mini-meals and snacks that they can take when they are on the go, or in a rush, or anytime. Having tummy friendly snacks on hand are a must for those dealing with IBD and similar issues. I love that Sylvia has created these innovative products to help the many people trying to juggle life while dealing with their condition. 

Purple sweet potatoes stand as the foundation of their snacks. It is nutritious, easily digestible, delicious, not to mention, pretty! 

Their product line up includes:
  • Purpo All-in-One Cereal Cup : It has a crunchy sweet potato granola with dried papaya, sultanas, and cranberries and oat mylk. Just add water! The oats are certified gluten free so no worries there! 
I personally love a quick, light breakfast and especially one that I know will digest easily so I loved this little cup! It's satisfying and yummy! I actually tried it warmed up and loved it! It's not overly sweet but I enjoyed it. Top it off with some nut butter and you have a great mini-meal for busy days! 
  • Purpo Granola Pouches: Purple sweet potato granola with probiotics, 6g fiber and real coconut and fruits added in. 
I found this to be a great yogurt mix-in! I have been loving granola lately in yogurt or ice cream or even on it's own. This is a nice travel packet form for taking on trips or to work! 
  • Sweet Potato Chips: These chips are simply sweet potatoes and oil, vacuum fried in low temperatures to preserve the nutrition. No salt added. 
Purpo Granola as a Smoothie Topping
These are great when you're in need of a crunchy snack! Personally, I would add some salt to give it that extra oomph! But you could eat them as-is, sprinkle salt or cinnamon or even use them in a recipe! The possibilities are endless! 

I loved trying these IBD friendly snacks and though I don't personally have a diagnosed digestive disease, I have dealt with some undiagnosed symptoms. On days when my tummy just doesn't feel right, it's good to have a "safe" snack option that I can eat in confidence! 

Do you deal with any digestive issues? Did you know 70 million people suffer from digestive disorders? 

If you have digestive issues (or even if you don't!) I would say check out Beviva Foods! You can check them out here: https://www.bevivafoods.com/ or find them on Amazon!


I received this product free but all opinions are my own. If you are suffering with a digestive disorder, make sure to always check labels for yourself as each person is different with their dietary needs.

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
