The other day when I was demoing Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter I got to talking with the guy at the booth next to me.
Turns out Paul is the owner of Food on Purpose!, who makes a whole variety of raw packaged foods.
He was kind enough to send me home with some product to review.
Note: This is only a sampling of their line. Food on Purpose! offers many different products.
Most of their products are: gluten-free, dairy-free, organic, wheat-free, and vegan. Plus each item is chock full of one or more superfoods.
Let the reviewing commence
Choco Roonies – (Their most popular item) So incredibly moist with an amazing texture. Made with raw cacao. Paul made a fabulous suggestion of pairing the choco roonies with Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter. Ohh yea that’s a deadly combination. The vanilla flavor definitely brought out the hint of vanilla in the roonie.
Nori Crisps – I think these are hands down my favorite out of everything. Mostly because they are so unique. I have never seen or tasted anything quite like it. In the middle of the seaweed there is a small mound of a brazil nut mixture (with maca and garlic) that gives it the most complex taste. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re super good for ya.
These were a favorite of Addie’s too. She loved the brazil nut mixture the best.
Flaxies- As we all know I’m a big sucker for texture. And you’ve been following me for a while you know my history with Flax. So before I even tasted this I was kinda already sold. This is a great alternative to a dip chip. It is super crunchy and sturdy to hold any kind of dip. It also had this great earthy taste.
Santa Fe Flaxies – Sundried Tomato and Jalapeno- This flavor just screamed “New Mexico” to me. It was spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. There’s no need to grab a glass of water or anything like that. The other flavors complimented it nice and still give me my slightly spicy kick that I love.
Addie said she could eat these every day and that they were very satisfying.
Birds in a Nest- These are adorable. As a foodie I love a good show and these are aesthetically pleasing. Plus I’m in love with the name. Yet another good ingredient list. These were a bit more crunchy than the choco roonies. Depending on if you’re a chocolate person or not I think that’s the deciding factor between the two.
The thing I loved about all of his product is that they are stuffed with superfoods. cacao, maca, brazil nuts. After reading Thrive Foods I completely understand these ingredients and their importance
