I recently discovered Two Moms in the Raw products at my
local Starbucks (and by local, I mean the closest one which is 45 minutes away)
as I dropped my son off at school.
I was intrigued when I read the ingredients – all things I could
pronounce and were definitely not created in a science lab.
So I dropped them a note (yep, have laptop, will Starbucks)
and asked if I could try some samples and perhaps write a product review. After all, why keep a healthy, natural
snack from others?
Within days I received a lovely brown box full of
samples. I was immediately
hungry.
The first bag I ripped into was the Sun Dried Tomato Basil
Crackers. Here’s what’s In them: Organic Flaxseed, Organic
Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Organic Kombu and Organic Herbs.
I loved them. But then I got to thinking, “it’s not
me that’s got to love them – it’s the fam & kids”. So if I went to track down some other
taste testers.
I even took them to a field
trip of my son’s elementary school and got some kids to try them. At first, I got a weird look because
they don’t look like ordinary chips but once they tried them, I soon had an
empty bag!
Love these – thanks Two Moms
in the Raw!!
Here's a look at their nutritional label:
Next, I decided I would try a
little treat! I’m always looking
for a good treat for myself after the weekly long run – I have deprived myself
of american made chocolate for over a year now (once I saw how much sugar is in
those bars – whew!) and am always looking for a great american made product to
satiate my sweet tooth. So, I dove
into these:
Here’s what in their Gluten Free Almond Butter Cacao
Truffle: Organic
Almonds, Organic Agave, Organic Cacao and Salt. And their nutrition label:
It’s
pretty awesome in my life when I find a healthy, sweet!! Wahoo – love these little nutty
blessings! Love, love, love!!
And
finally, I got these:
Some awesome Gluten Free Blueberry Granola – these come in
bars and are great for satisfying your sweet tooth as well as providing a nutty
treat. Here is what is in these
magnificent little bars: Organic Oats, Organic
Millet, Organic Buckwheat, Organic Coconut, Organic Flaxseed, Organic
Sunflower Seeds, Organic Sesame Seeds, Organic Pecans, Organic Almonds, Organic
Pepitas, Organic Apples, Organic Blueberries, Organic Agave, Organic Cinnamon
and Sea Salt.
The
feature I like about these the most is that I can throw them in a snack size
Ziploc baggie and throw one in my person.
One gets me through the entire day! I have yet to be able to eat a whole one at a time as the
nuts are so filling, so they are great for my nibbling snack and at that
calorie and sugar count, they fit great into my calorie bank for the day!
I
also throw these in my husband’s lunch box and he has yet to come home with one
(which means he is eating them – usually the healthier snacks come
home!!).
What
I really admire about Two Moms in the Raw is that on their website, you are
able to see exactly what the nutrition facts are and what is specifically in
their products. In a day and age when
one is trying to get away from processed foods and preservatives, it is
refreshing to have choices that are healthy, not high in calories and meet my
athletic fueling needs.
I
give Two Moms in the Raw – two thumbs up!
Next time you’re in your local Starbucks (or even if you have to drive
45 minutes to find one), be sure to pick up one of their products. You’ll be hooked!!
They
have a very user friendly website and offer a variety of Organic,
Gluten Free, Kosher, Vegan and Raw snacks to choose from. Still not convinced – how would you not
want to eat the same snacks that fueled the teachers and film crew of
Alexandra Cousteau’s 2010 Expedition Blue Planet: North America, a 138-day long
expedition in which Cousteau traveled 17,100 miles across North America
investigating its chief water issues. And if that doesn’t convince you – they were
nominated for a Foodie Award {1}
Vegetarian Times!
You
can find them online at http://www.twomomsintheraw.com/. Be sure to tell them the Tiny Dangerous
One sent ya’ (no, there’s no discount).
What’s
fueling you these unprocessed October days?
