Schar Artisan Bakers Bread ~ The Best Wheat-Free Bread

 When people discover I can't eat wheat, they always reply, "That must be hard, I could never give up bread!" When I discovered that I was allergic to wheat, giving up bread was hard. I was sad that I would never enjoy a slice of bread with butter.

 Having multiple food allergies can be tough, especially when they happen as an adult. Finding allergy-friendly foods that are similar to the ones you used to enjoy can be even tougher. The one food most difficult to find a wheat-free replacement for was bread. 

 Shopping for gluten-free bread that tastes good can be a difficult task. While there are many gluten-free types of bread at the store, many of them do not have the same texture as regular wheat bread. Then there is the problem of finding a gluten-free bread that also does not contain dairy or soy. 

 After spending tons of money on dry hard loaves of gluten-free bread, I finally discovered a gluten-free bread that has a soft texture and a delicious taste. Schar Artisan Baker bread makes eating wheat-free enjoyable. I no longer have to miss the taste of bread and butter.

I received samples to facilitate this article, opinions are my own

The best gluten-free bread for those who can't eat wheat

 I have multiple food allergies, wheat, dairy, soy, and mushrooms. My food allergies cause can cause severe asthma symptoms which make breathing difficult. Grocery shopping is a process that requires reading labels for ingredients and finding foods that you can eat can be tough. Finding allergy-friendly food that tastes good is even tougher.

 Finding bread without wheat, dairy, and soy that resembled real bread was hard. Most of the gluten-free breads that I tried were hard with weird textures. I had almost given up on eating bread. Then I tried Schar Artisan Baker Bread and I was able to love bread again. 

 Schar Artisan Baker Bread looks and tastes like regular wheat bread. This bread contains no wheat, soy, dairy, egg, GMOs, or preservatives. The texture is amazing and you can enjoy the bread straight from the package. This is the best bread for sandwiches and for slathering up with butter. This bread does not fall apart. 

Schar Artisan Baker Bread is Now Soy-Free

 Last year Schar took soy out of their Artisan Baker's Bread and I was able to try their gluten-free bread. I was able to sample Schar's bread at Expo West. One bite was all I needed to make this my favorite wheat-free bread. These delicious loaves of bread are available in white, multigrain, and 10 grains & seeds. 

 I love all three varieties of Schar Artisan Bakers Bread. My favorite way to enjoy this bread is straight out of the package with plenty of vegan butter. I also enjoy this bread with avocado slices and everything bagel spice. This bread is also amazing for plant-based burgers. 

 Schar Artisan Baker Bread has an irresistible texture that is perfect for avocado toast and other favorite sandwiches. For those who have gluten issues, this fresh, never frozen bread is Certified gluten-free. You can find this bread in the gluten-free section of most grocery stores or online at https://www.schaer.com

12 Favorite Product Discoveries From Expo East

 I just got back from traveling to Philidelphia and I am excited to tell you about my trip to attend Expo East. I discovered so many new healthy products and want to share with you my favorite product finds.

 I was in Philadelphia last week as I was attending a huge natural product event. I was at the event to check out new healthy natural products and I had a great time sampling delicious food. I also got to sample the latest healthy beauty products and learn about new supplements.

 While I was at the event, I got to learn about the newest trends in the health and wellness community. I also had the opportunity to taste some allergy-friendly food to help me manage my many food allergies. This is an event that I look forward to attending and I am glad that I got an invite to the event.

 Expo East is the fall natural products show from New Hope Network. This is a huge event for the natural & organic community to showcase the latest products that are available in stores. The event is all about seeing and trying the latest natural food, beverages, personal care, and supplements.

  I always have fun checking out all the booths at the Expo East. From food and drinks to supplements with everything in between, this is the event to learn about what is hot in the natural food stores. When I attend the expo, I always bring an extra suitcase to bring home all of the samples. Check out these free samples.

While I was walking the event floor, I made some notes about my favorite products and I made a list of my top 10 favorite products from Expo East. So keep reading to see which products I enjoyed from Expo East.

1. Happy Grub Pancake Mixes

Happy Grub makes breakfast fun and easy. Happy Grub is designed to bring families together in the kitchen. The pancake mix ingredients are all natural and organic, so you can be confident in what you are eating too! I just love the cute bottles that the pancake mix is in. The bottles make pancake cooking so easy that even kids can help in the kitchen. Just add water, shake, and squeeze. The squeeze bottles are perfect for making creative pancake shapes. The pancake mixes are available in 4 different varieties.

My teen loves creating pancake shapes with the Happy Grub pancake mixes. You can even squeeze the pancake mix on a waffle maker for delicious waffles. 

2. Verb Caffeinated Energy Bars

 I discovered Verb Caffeinated Energy Bars last March at Expo West but I did not try them until a couple of weeks ago. I was "a drink an energy drink before the gym person" and "enjoy my cup of coffee after the gym person." So I really did not have a need for more caffeine. The Verb Bars just stayed in my pantry in my snack box. 

 Then a fitness influencer told me the facts about exercising without eating breakfast and how it could be hurting my fitness goals. So I ditched the energy drinks and decided to try the Verb Caffeinated Bars for three weeks to see if it made a difference in my gym routine. I was amazed at my increase in energy from the Verb Bars and that helped me to lose 2 pounds! I was hooked on the delicious bars for my before-the-gym caffeine boost.

 The Verb Bars have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee and it comes from green tea. I had only tried the smores flavor of the Verb Caffeinate bars so I was glad that the Verb booth had different flavors of their energy bars. The delicious bars are available in 13 flavors. These bars are the delicious solution to the 2 p.m. slump. Say goodbye to overpriced lattes, sugar cravings & post-coffee jitters

3. Freshe Seafood Meals

 Freshé isn't your typical canned fish – it's a game-changer that fuses the best of wild-caught tuna and Atlantic salmon with wholesome legumes, vegetables, and the richness of olive oil. Freshé introduces a line-up of ready-to-eat small meals that are rewriting the rules of tinned fish. Each meal packs a punch of sustainably sourced protein infused with savory herbs and spices. 

 But what truly sets Freshé apart is its no-compromise approach to quality and sustainability. Their all-natural, BPA-free tins can sit pretty on your shelf for up to four years. But here's the real kicker – Freshé isn't just a one-note wonder. With flavors inspired by global cuisines, from the bold Sicilian Caponata to the exotic Moroccan Tagine, there's a whole world of taste waiting for you. Available in six varieties.

4. Nuzest Plant-Based Protein

 I was so excited that Nuzest was going to have a booth at Expo East. This was their first time at Expo East and I had to stop by the booth to meet the team behind my favorite plant-based protein powder. I have been using Nuzest vegan protein since 2016 and this allergy-friendly protein is always in my pantry.

 Nuzest had samples of their new Protein Greens + Berries and Protein + Microbiotics along with their Clean Lean Protein and Kids Good Stuff. So I stopped by the Nuzest Booth to say hello and to grab a sample of the Clean Lean Protein Powder in vanilla. 

5. EQUII Protein Bread

 I am always looking for ways to get my teenage son to eat more protein as he is an athlete and does not eat meat. So I was happy to discover a bread that had 10 grams of protein per slice. My son loves peanut butter sandwiches so I knew that he had to try this wheat bread.

 EQUII Classic Wheat Bread has 10 Grams of Complete Protein and all 9 Essential Amino Acids in each slice. Equii uses a special fermentation process to produce high-quality protein that is easily absorbed by the body. This bread also has 50% less sugar and 30% fewer carbs than other breads. EQUII bread is a game-changer for health-conscious consumers, athletes, and those on meat-restricted diets.

6. Gimme Seaweed Snacks

I was happy to see my favorite seaweed snack company at Expo East and I enjoyed tasting all the different flavors. Gimme’s umami-rich roasted seaweed snacks are USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, only 30 calories per serving, and an excellent source of vitamins B12 & K and iodine.

  Gimme’s product line includes Big Sheets, Sushi Nori, and Roasted Seaweed Snacks, which are now available in eight flavors including their newest flavors Chili Lime and Non-Dairy White Cheddar. They also now have Grab & Go (tray-less) roasted seaweed snacks in top-selling flavors. My favorite flavor was Chili Lime.

7. MALK's New Holiday Nog

 I discovered MALK plant-based milk last year and loved this nut milk for its clean simple ingredients. This is a creamy, 100% organic vegan milk is made solely with filtered water, organic almonds, and vanilla.

This year MALK debuted its new Holiday Nog. This delicious nog is 100% organic vegan milk that is made solely with filtered water, organic almonds, organic maple syrup, organic nutmeg extract, and Himalayan pink salt and contains only 60 calories per serving.

MALK’s Holiday Nog will be available at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Erewhon, select Kroger locations, Fresh Thyme, Fresh Market, Earthfare, MOM’s Market, and other locations. 

8. Pickle Juice

 I love drinking Pickle Juice after a sweaty workout. This hydration+ drink has a great taste and has so many benefits beyond hydration.

 Pickle Juice (not to be confused with pickle brine) is the only product on the market scientifically proven to stop muscle cramps, prevent dehydration, and aid in recovery. It uses a proprietary grain and blend of vinegar that blocks that nerve signal being sent from brain to muscle, and a blend of vitamins and minerals for immediate muscle recovery. Whether you are missing something from your diet, exhausted from exercise, wake up in the middle of the night with foot cramps, or are dealing with poor circulation, Pickle Juice can provide a source of relief.

9. Jack & Friends Jackfruit Jerky

 Most plant-based jerky is made from mushrooms or soy protein and those with food allergies to either of these ingredients miss out on eating jerky. Since I am allergic to soy and mushrooms, my craving for meat-free jerky has not been satisfied. I was so excited to discover Jack & Friends Jackfruit Jerky.

 This jerky is made from jackfruit and pea protein and is so delicious. I love that a serving has 15 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber. It even has the same texture as meat jerky. I might just be enjoying this jerky for breakfast and I am thinking that it would be great to use in a vegan BLT sandwich. 

10. Zeroe Plant Based Caviar

 This past summer I tried caviar for the first time and I was not impressed at the taste. Then a week later, when I watched a video on how they harvest caviar, I was glad that I did not like real caviar. Most people know that caviar is fish eggs but they don't realize the disgusting and unethical way that caviar is made. 

So when I saw a booth at Expo East sampling plant-based caviar, I just had to try it. The taste of Zeroe Plant Based Caviar was amazing! This caviar is 100% Vegan and sustainably Sourced and no fish were harmed in the process. It is made from seaweed off the coast of France. The texture of Zeroe is also amazing and it will go great with my Vegan Smoked Salmon on my homemade gluten-free bagels.

11. Scotts Protein Balls

These delicious protein balls are plant-based and allergy-friendly. So they are the perfect snack for me since I have multiple food allergies. I like that Scotts Protein Balls are made with superfood ingredients and they are dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and contain no preservatives. These protein balls are made with fresh ingredients so they have to be stored in the refrigerator. 

 They have 8 grams of protein per serving and are available in ten flavors, including Cinnamon Bun, Peanut Butter Cup, Pumpkin Spice, Peanut Butter Cacao, Mint Chocolate Chip, Brownie Batter, Confetti, Snickerdoodle, Java Peanut Butter, and Red Velvet. My favorite flavor was Peanut Butter Cacao.

12. Once Again’s Sunflower Butter Graham Cracker Sandwiches

I was happy to find gluten-free graham crackers filled with sunflower butter! These delicious snacks will be perfect for when the granddaughters visit. These allergy-friendly treats fit all the boxes for both my food allergies and my daughter's food allergies. I am allergic to dairy and wheat and my daughter is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.

Once Again Sunflower Butter Cracker Sandwiches are the perfect snack for those seeking a healthy and delicious treat. They are certified gluten-free and certified organic, plus vegan. The graham crackers are made with a blend of organic sorghum flour, oat flour, and cassava, while the filling is made from sunflower seeds. I like that they’re individually wrapped and easy to take on the go.

Other products that I liked from Expo East

 There were so many products to see and taste at this natural product event. From healthy snacks to natural beauty and cleaner products with so many other products that I could not taste everything.

12 Gluten Free Products That You Need To Try

 Having to eat products that do not contain wheat can be tough. Thankfully there are many gluten-free products that make great substitutes and taste so delicious.

 I recently had to eliminate wheat from my diet due to a possible wheat allergy. Having to be wheat free has not been easy but I am thankful for the many delicious gluten-free products that are available. 

 It was in the year 2021 that I had allergy testing done. My allergy panel results showed that I was allergic to way too many plants, weeds, grass, trees, and wheat. The allergy testing did not show that I was allergic to dairy since I eliminated dairy from my diet in 2018. I did not need confirmation of my dairy allergy as I had discovered through a food allergy blood test that a dairy allergy was the reason for my severe asthma symptoms.

  I thought it was strange that the testing of allergies indicated that I could be allergic to wheat. The doctor said that false positives could happen with food allergy testing but recommended that I eliminate wheat from my diet for 6 weeks to see if it made a difference in my asthma. After 6 weeks of being wheat free in 2021 and then eating wheat products again, it made no difference in my asthma symptoms. 

Allergy shots and a temporary wheat allergy

 A year later, while I was 8 months into the allergy shot build-up phase, my asthma symptoms started to get worse. At first, I thought that this was due to my allergy shot serum getting stronger but the strange thing was I was not having asthma attacks every day. So I decided to keep a food log and discovered it was on the days that I ate wheat, that I had an asthma attack 2 hours after eating food that contained wheat. So I eliminated wheat from my diet and the severe asthma attacks went away. 

 The allergy doctor, says my wheat allergy may be temporary, while I receive the higher doses of my allergy shots, and may go away in June when I am done with the build-up phase of allergy shots. So I have been on a wheat-free diet since November. It has been quite the challenge to be wheat-free in addition to eating no dairy.

Discovering new gluten-free products at Expo West

  Expo West is the event that showcases all the new products that are the health, wellness, and natural food line. It is where brands and buyers meet up to get the newest products into your shopping cart.

 I was thankful that I was able to attend Expo West last month to discover new gluten-free products. I was amazed at the many natural brands that offered delicious-tasting products that were not only dairy-free but also gluten-free. I was able to grab samples of my favorite gluten-free products to take home and I now have a well-stocked pantry of food that is safe for me to eat. 

 Below are the gluten-free products that I am enjoying and they are ones that you need to try. Brands have really stepped up their game of producing gluten-free products that taste so similar to ones that contain wheat.

1. Jovial Organic Brown Rice Pasta

 I remember many years ago when I tried gluten-free pasta for the first time and I was not impressed. Now that I have to eat wheat free, I gave wheat-free pasta another chance with Jovial Organic Brown Rice Pasta and I was amazed at how similar it is to traditional pasta. The best part of Jovial gluten-free pasta was it held its texture for leftovers the next day.

 Jovial pasta is crafted in Italy using time-honored production methods, their brown rice mafalda is as close to traditional as gluten-free can be.

2. Maria and Ricardo’s Gluten-Free Tortillas 

 When you have to eat wheat free and want Mexican food, your option is usually corn tortillas. While I like eating corn tortillas, they tend to be stiff and easily break. Corn tortillas don't work for burritos like flour tortillas. It has been hard to not be able to consume flour tortillas as they are a main staple in my home.

 I was so happy to discover Maria and Ricardo’s Gluten-Free Tortillas. These tortillas are gluten-free, and dairy-free. This company has 2 options for gluten-free tortillas ~ gluten-free and almond flour with several flavor options. All the tortillas are made with Non-GMO ingredients. The gluten-free variety of tortillas are made of quinoa, cauliflower, or sweet potato while the almond flour tortillas come in flavors like plain, everything, and flax & seeds. These gluten-free tortillas were soft and perfect for my bean burritos.

3. Elmhurst 1925 Plant-Based Milk

 I like my daily coffee with plant-based milk and this milk needs to be creamy and made from simple ingredients. I also need dairy-free milk for baking. I don't want any of that vegan milk that curdles in my coffee.

  Elmhurst® 1925 plant-based milk is made from simple ingredients like nuts and oats. They are loaded with nutrition and don't contain junk like fillers, gums, or additives. The Elmhurst 1925 Barista Edition Almond Milk was so delicious and creamy in my cup of coffee. With every sip of coffee, I said mmm ~ this is good coffee. The Milked Oats was also very creamy and delicious in my coffee. This is the good stuff plant milk and I love all the many different varieties of Elmhurst milk.

4. Raised Gluten-Free Cookie Mixes

 Raised Gluten Free makes kid-friendly cookie mixes for kids and they are so delicious! Available in chocolate chip, double chocolate, and confetti, each package features illustrated instructions that make it easy for little bakers to whip up a batch of 12 soft and chewy, wholesome cookies.

5. Kazoo Tortilla Chips

 Most corn tortilla chips are gluten-free and dairy-free so I have not had to do without this snack while being on a wheat-free diet. I do love eating chips and salsa!

 I was happy to learn that Kazoo Tortilla Chips are a snack that is good for the environment. These upcycled, water-saving tortilla chips save 20 gallons of water per bag! The lime zest corn tortilla chips were delicious and even teen approved. My teen son almost ate the whole bag up. I was thankful that I grabbed a bowl of the Kazoo chips before he attacked them.

6. Drinkmate Fruit Syrup

 Now that warmer weather is here, one needs to increase their water intake. Plain water can get quite boring so I like to have other drink options to quench my thirst on a hot summer day. So I am glad that I can make sparkling gluten-free drinks with my DrinkMate OmniFizz maker.  

 DrinkMate has a new line of premium Italian syrups. They are the perfect addition to cocktails, mocktails, slushes, smoothies, Italian ice, and of course, flavored sparkling water.

7. Humble Seed Grain Free Crackers

 My favorite bedtime snack before I discovered my dairy allergy was crackers and cheese. Then it became crackers and homemade Spicy Carrot Hummus. So when my wheat allergy kicked in, I needed to discover a gluten-free cracker that tasted good quickly.

 I am glad that I discovered The Humble Seed Grain Free Crackers last fall at Expo East. These crackers are so delicious and I don't miss wheat crackers one bit!

10. Stoked Oats

 I love oatmeal for breakfast and dinner. I make my oats savory with salt and garlic. Then I top my oatmeal with spinach, avocado, and a soft-boiled egg. It may sound crazy but this dish is so delicious. Oatmeal may not always be 100% gluten-free and most oats are covered with glyphosate. 

 So I was glad that I discovered Stoked Oats. These yummy oats are gluten-free and glyphosate free. Their plain Run of the Mill oats have 5 grams of protein but if you are looking for more protein, then you need to try their Superfood Oatmeal Blends. These plant-based oats are loaded with seeds and are high in protein. The Superfood Oatmeal Blends are perfect for overnight oats.

 I am so thankful for companies that make delicious-tasting gluten-free products. They have helped me be able to eat safely. I don't have to compromise my diet with boring tasteless food as these wheat-free products taste just as good if not better than ones with wheat ingredients.
