I received complimentary samples & compensation for my post on ginnybakes. All delicious opinions remain 100% my own.
Isn't it nice to have a delicious treat that you can feel good about eating? These days, it seems that we are bombarded with every imaginable sweet with every possible option: sugar free, low fat, low carb, gluten free, high fiber....it goes on and on, right? How do you make a good choice?
I recently had the chance to sample and try some of the amazingly delicious products from Ginny Bakes. ginnybakes line of gluten free products was created by a holistic nutritionist, Ginny Simon, to help those with gluten-free diets enjoy freshly baked goods. Her products are organic, handmade with love in a gluten-free kitchen and free of artificial preservatives. ginnybakes is certified gluten free and the product does not contain GMO's. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that all these characteristics make me very happy! It's a treat I can definitely feel good about giving myself....and my children.
Of course, we need to talk about the taste! While the ingredients and production process of the ginnybakes treats are important to me, you've got to have something you are going to enjoy.
I started with the chocolate chip love cookies. Who doesn't love a good, classic chocolate chip cookie? These did not disappoint. My experience with gluten free products in the past has been hit in miss, with my biggest complaint being how "heavy" they often taste. These delicious cookies were far from that! They were light, crisp, crunchy but not too crunchy, perfect. And with one cookie having only 60 calories, you can feel really good about indulging.
There are also great pre-packaged cookie snack bags that are perfect for tucking into school lunches. I tried the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bliss. It's safe to say I am a fan of these. In fact, these will be handy for me to grab on my road trip with my family to Disneyland today!
The line from ginnybakes also has gluten free bake mixes. I really like this offering, because I often like to add a few healthful ingredients to pre-made mixes: it might be a little extra flax seed, some applesauce, a spoonful of yogurt. I haven't baked it yet, but I can't wait to try the Lovely Brownie Bliss mix.
