Smart Sweet Gummy Bears Review

These gummy bears by Smart Sweets are a great alternative. Taste just like normal gummy bears. And unlike the kinds you read about online these will not come back to haunt you after you eat them. No stomach cramping and other side effects that follow. I thought they were great. I would almost consider them closer to that of a fruit snack.

Quest Low Carb Thin Crust Pizza

Pizza! I love it! It’s honestly one of those items that’s on my list of cheatable items. Sometimes you’re walking down the grocery store frozen section and you see all those pizzas and your eyes just glaze over.
​Good news folks. There’s a new frozen pizza on the market and it’s perfect for us trying to keep your carbs low.
The Quest brand now makes low-carb pizza. It comes in cheese, pepperoni, and supreme. I tried the pepperoni and supreme and both were tasty. I personally enjoyed the supreme a bit better. I think that’s partially because the crust of this pizza has a pretty strong protein taste and the additional toppings of the supreme help to mask it. When I had the pepperoni the crust start out a little more prominent.
Overall though this is great pizza and it comes in a decent size. If you got a hankering for frozen pizza and you don’t wanna make it yourself this is a great answer and it’s pretty widely available in most Target retailers.

Nush Blueberry Cake Review

Do you like blueberry muffins? How about a good old fashion blueberry doughnut? If your answer is no then I’m not entirely sure that I want to know you as a person. You’re probably making poor life choices. I would suggest seeking some sort of counseling perhaps get a life coach. You’ll find that when you start liking blueberry donuts and blueberry muffins, things might turn around for you in a positive light.
For those of you that do like blueberry donuts and muffins yet have been living a low-carb lifestyle, you’ll find that the blueberry Nush cake is for you. These cakes emulates blueberry cake like nothing I’ve had before. Fantastic for a breakfast snack when you’re on the go. This flavor just works. They have a great sweetness that works with the flavor also. I will probably go back for more.

Nekstella Chocolate Hazelnut Syrup review

9/22/2018

​Nekstella Chocolate Hazelnut Syrup is super tasty and easy to use. I love using this stuff on ice-cream. It hardens up almost like ice cream shell topping. Great on low carb pancakes too. I'm sure it good on other stuff, but that’s really all I use it on.

sometimes I’ll squirt this on a low-carb tortilla for on the go snack. Especially when I’m craving chocolate. Stuff is so good I ordered three bottles. Worth having in the cabinet if you’re Chocolate lover. Also this goes on nice and smooth and a hot pancake.

Alterna Sweets Original BBQ Sauce

For the most part barbecue sauce is not something that will be considered by most to be low-carb. What makes most barbecue sauces so good is their sweetness. So most of them have a lot of high fructose corn syrup and sugar. I was super excited to try a new barbecue sauce by Alterna Sweets. They promise that it has no artificial sweeteners and that it remains safe for a low-carb diet.
​Overall I thought this stuff tastes great. A nice little sweetness with a nice little smokiness just like the bottle says. And while I personally would not consider it to be my favorite barbecue sauce It does a pretty good job to add good flavor. This stuff is great for chicken, pulled pork, and anything else you use normal barbecue sauce.

Gherkin Snack Review

These pickles are very little, and very Tart. Not a traditional pickle taste. We ate ours on a cheese plate with some salami. Great for a snack or when you have guests over.

​Just curious but is it really a high demand for on the go snack bags of pickles? Because that’s not really ever the type of thing that I’m thinking about taking for a snack.

Keto Krate September Review

If you read this blog you know that I am constantly on the look-out for Low Carb products that meet my lifestyle and help to make my life a bit easier. Saving time on cooking, and having a variety of snacks available help to make the diet a bit easier on myself so I don’t get bored with the same old things. So when I discovered that there was a new subscription service that sends you products that fit within the low carb lifstyle I was on board.

Keto Krate is a new subscription box that is available in the long list of to your door monthly box subscriptions that is specifically geared towards the Keto and low carb lifestyle. They guarantee that all items in the box will be less than 5 carbs per serving and that the value of the collected items products will always exceed the cost of the box.

My desire to find some new snacks that were low carb is really what made me decide to give it a try, that plus who doesn’t like a surprise now and then.

My review's for the individual products in this box will be cut short here. I will be doing more in-depth reviews on each product and share links to those reviews here as I complete them. Right now I just want to talk about this month's box and what I got as a whole.

So every box has a nice little welcome card that explains all the items you received and then usually has some promo codes in case you need more of something. I have already found myself using this for a snack I receive in my last box that no one carried in the stores near me. I had to have some more so having a little discount was great to give me the incentive to get some shipped to me.
