There's a New Snack in Town: Pop Bitties Popped Sorghum

Hop on Pop.

Hop on what?

No, I'm not talking about the Dr. Seuss book; I'm talking about popped snacks!

We all love them, right? From popped corn (the OG) to popped rice snacks and now popped sorghum!

Who is this for:
  • people who are intolerant to corn
  • people who are gluten free 
  • people who love to try new snacks
Sorghum is an ancient grain that has been shown to provide a multitude of vitamins, aid in digestion, support the function of the thyroid glands, aid in the regulation of insulin and balance sugar levels and more! 

Sorghum is also sustainable for farming and drought-resistant. Winning! 

Pop Bitties has taken that ancient super grain and popped it creating a munchy, crunchy air-popped snack. 
The popped sorghum has a similar taste to popcorn with a bit more nuttiness? It's also much tinier than popcorn which can make it a little difficult to just pop in your mouth - I used a spoon lol! 

They come in four varieties: Sea Salt, Sea Salt half dressed, Brown Sugar & Cinnamon, and White Cheddar. 

I found the flavors to be pretty mild. 

If you're interested in trying them, you can find them on Amazon, check their website here: https://www.marksmindfulmunchies.com/ or if you're reading this in real time, I'm hosting a giveaway on my Instagram right now! Check it out here: Instagram Giveaway Post.

Overall, I think it's a unique idea but I probably wouldn't buy it again. I'm not intolerant to corn and I prefer the bigger puffs you get with popcorn. Another alternative if you are intolerant/choose not to consume corn is popped water lily seeds. I get similar crunchy, munchy satisfaction from them! 

What do you think? Would you try popped sorghum? Do you like popcorn?

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
