What I love about this protein is that it tastes so good! I love all the flavors!
The flavors vary from mixed berry, tangy citrus and tropical punch.
I notice such a difference when working out as it keeps me hydrated better, and I rarely get sore after a big workout because of the amino acid qualities in this drink.
I love this protein drink and encourage you to try it
When new gluten-free items come out, it’s exciting!
Even more, when these items are tasty and delicious, it’s even more exciting.
Today I wanted to share with you 3 gluten-free foods that have come out in the last year and I enjoy them all.

First up are: Peanut Butter Chex. The price is only $10.59 for a 2-pack on Amazon. You will love the flavoring of this particular chex cereal, and just think how easy muddy buddies will be to make with peanut butter chex cereal!
Next, I have to share gluten-free double stuff oreos. I mean, the regular oreos are great too, but the double-stuff are right on point! Everyone agrees, they perfected the gluten-free oreos to taste just like the regular oreos.
You can find these oreos on Amazon for $26.48 for a 3-pack. Or most grocery stores now carry these delicious cookies too. They are always in white packaging so they stand out amongst the regular oreos.
And last but not least, these Almond Mission Tortillas. I found these through Kroger stores at the price of $5.49. These tortillas can help make it possible to make tasty gluten free burritos and such.
Have you discovered any more tasty gluten-free items? I am always on the lookout and hope to continue posting about new gluten-free products.
Meal Plan 2: Gluten-free Sweet & Sour Meatballs. To be honest, I feel like I could eat this meal everyday without getting sick of it. I love these meatballs!
Meal Plan 4: Delicious Gluten-Free Taco Dish, crockpot meal. This dish is easy and tasty. We love adding gluten free tortilla chips on top!
Meal Plan 5: Gluten-Free Korean Beef is another family favorite that we love! You can add green onions, and sriracha on top if you’d like. And we love serving it over gluten free rice noodles, or rice.
It can be hard to step into a gluten free lifestyle, however, it shouldn’t be overwhelming.
Our works is understanding the gluten free lifestyle more so thankfully there’s more awareness.
After my own experience with being new to the gluten free world (back in 2008), I came up with 4 steps to help you:
Share the News
Why share the news?
I have learned it’s important to be up front and honest about your gluten free lifestyle.
Be tactful and nice when you explain your gluten free guidelines. But let others know the importance of following gluten free food guidelines.
Gluten free living is more common now so there’s no need to feel like an “inconvenience” in any way.
It’s best just to let others know that you eat gluten free to stay safe and healthy.
2. Find Support Resources.
I am on multiple Gluten free Facebook groups.
I also follow a lot of gluten free accounts on Instagram and tik tok.
When you’re surrounded by helpful resources you don’t feel alone in the gluten free journey.
3. Download helpful gluten free apps
I currently have 2 apps on my phone that I use to help with my gluten-free lifestyle:
-Gluten free scanner: you scan food items snd it tells you if it’s gluten free or not.
-Find Me Gluten Free: it’s a resource mapping out gluten free restaurants and bakeries in your area. This is so helpful and nice.
4. Keep track of Gluten-free Recipes You Enjoy
One of the reasons I started this blog was to keep track of gluten free recipes that we love.
Pinterest is a great resource to organize recipes too.
Whatever way you choose to do it, make sure you can easily find your gluten free recipes..it helps make life simpler and easier when it comes to cooking gluten free.

And it’s ok to feel the emotions that come with it all.
When I was first diagnosed with celiacs I cried most every day for the first two months. I didn’t know what to eat, it was a lot of stress to do something so simple…to eat!
However, as time went on my tears faded and things got easier.
Even now…after years of living a gluten-free lifestyle, I still would say I have a few days in the year where I get annoyed or emotional about the food limitations.
And that’s ok.
The world has improved access to gluten free foods which is wonderful. But I guess there’s still a bit of a “mourning” that surfaces just realizing that all flour and wheat are cut out of your life forever.
So my advice is, feel the emotions, don’t dwell on them, look at all the resources there are in the world now for living gluten-free, and move on.
Do you have days where the emotions catch up to you when it comes to living a gluten-free lifestyle?
