Send Me Gluten Free November Box Review

11/11/2014

Comments

 
Okay y'all! I was sent a Send Me Gluten Free Box as a thank you for reviewing last month's Send Me Gluten Free Box, and decided I might as well review this one for y'all, too! ;) You'll notice I have a guest in my video this time! You can find her blog here. 
You can find my post on the muffins here! Also, I misspoke in relation to the other Breeze Bar flavor. It was Chocolate CRANBERRY  not Chocolate CHERRY. OOPS! 

Now, in addition to the yummy samples, I also found some coupons in my box--including:
  • 25% off of a purchase from Vine Market
  • 20% of the Gluten- Free Family Favorites ebook
  • 35¢ off any Hodgson Mill Product
  • $1 off any 3.5 oz Pascha Bar
  • 50¢ off one bag of Boulder Canyon Snacks
  • 1 FREE Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Product

All the products mentioned in the video can be found on the following sites: 
  • Nature's Path Organic: http://us.naturespath.com
  • WOW Baking: http://www.wowbaking.com
  • Snack Out Loud Foods: http://snackoutloud.com
  • Pascha Chocolate: http://paschachocolate.com
  • Breeze Bars: http://breezebars.com
  • Ocean's Halo: http://oceanshalo.com
  • Boulder Canyon Foods: http://www.bouldercanyonfoods.com
  • Amazing Foods for health: http://amazingfoodsforhealth.com
  • Bell Plantation (PB Thins): http://www.bellplantation.com
  • Nuun: http://www.nuun.com
  • Swerve: http://www.swervesweetener.com
  • Hodgson Mill: http://www.hodgsonmill.com

Also, I have now tried the Nuun drink. It was fair, but it just wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped it would be. It creates more of a flavored water taste than a true sports drink, but it was still tasty. 

I love Send Me Gluten Free, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to try new products the past two months! 

You can subscribe here for $30 a month, but the price does decrease if you purchase additional months in advance. ;)

I hope y'all enjoyed this review, and don't forget to enter my Foster Farms Gluten Free Giveaway!! ;D

Have a Terrific Tuesday Y'all!
Love,
Olivia

Gluten Free Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix

Okie dokie y'all! I got a Send Me Gluten Free box this month as a thank you for reviewing the box last month (you can find that here), and while there's a video review coming of most of the products, there were a few products that I mentioned yet didn't review. So . . . here we go! ;)

In the Send Me Gluten Free box this month I received this sample of Vegan and Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix from Amazing Foods for health! 

As usual, we're going to be reviewing it based on three factors: Taste, Texture, and Ease of Use. Our normal fourth factor (price) can't be added in because I received the product for FREE! ;)

Taste:
Okay. Not as great as I had hoped, but not awful. It did have a bit of an oily after taste which I assume is a result of using coconut oil in place of butter. Out of five stars, I'd give these muffins a solid three.

Texture: 
First off, I added some Almond Milk to the batter to moisten it, as it was quite dry when made according to the directions. Once thinned to normal muffin batter consistency, it made nine muffins. They were kind of spongy, and didn't rise much. They were FAR better texturally after I put butter on them, which kind of defeats the whole Vegan idea, but I'm not Vegan so . . . 
Anyways, out of five stars, I'd give these three.

Ease of Use: 
Super simple. I had no issues making these, except for the really dry batter, which was easily fixed with some Almond Milk. I'd rate the ease of use as three of five.

Overall, these muffins were a solid three. Nothing gross, but nothing spectacular either. 

Let me know if y'all have tried these, and if so what you thought of them in the comments!

Have an awesome day!!
Love,
Olivia
