That’s right,
kids.
Way back in
2009, the year I started GFF, I reviewed a muffin mix from a new company called
purely elizabeth. At that time,
purely was brand new to the scene, the gluten free food “trend” was just
starting to take off, and there were very few companies that were attempting to
use whole grains that were gluten free and also had some sort of nutritional
value. It was all starches, all
the time. Elizabeth was doing something
groundbreaking by offering better for you muffin and pancake mixes. I had the pleasure of meeting Elizabeth
at a gluten free expo here in South Florida in March of 2010. She is truly a special lady with a huge
heart. She and I definitely have
the “generally healthy eater with weakness for baked goods” thing in common
too.
Fast forward
to 2012, and purely elizabeth has grown immensely. They have expanded their product offerings, and are now
available in Whole Foods (!) but all the while have maintained the dedication
to good taste, good ingredients, and good nutrition.
The products are
certified gluten free and vegan, non-GMO, and the cookie mixes are certified
organic. The ingredients are all
top notch, and ones I would use if I were baking from scratch.
It’s not just
about the food, though. Purely
elizabeth also promotes living purely, which we all may define
differently. For me, it’s moving
my body, fueling it well, resting adequately, and choosing the positive
perspective whenever possible. And
living purely also incorporates some tasty, nutritious treats of chocolate chip
cookies after a long bike ride.
Purely
elizabeth is a company whose products and values align very well with my
own. I am honored and pleased to
have been chosen as an ambassador.
If you’ve not
checked out purely elizabeth yet, go to their website and read about how
awesome they are. Then, go to
Whole Foods (they’re on sale!) and get you some. OR, you can always order online.
Aside from
awesome baking mixes and granola, if you need some more info for generally
eating a healthier gluten free menu, check out Gluten Free and Fit 101 for lots
