Product Review: Some New Macro Friendly Goodies

Product Review: Some New Macro Friendly Goodies

 

In the past year, I have been fortunate enough to be involved and have the opportunity to have 3 photo shoots and now I have ANOTHER one next week on July 3rd which I have been working very hard on. Recently I have been creating many new recipes involving low macronutrient/calories as well as higher volume (fiber/water containing) foods.

Recently I became a member of MacroMagic Facebook page and started following Eric Johnson and Kim Hoeltje. MacroMagic has many good meal ideas and both Eric and Kim have wicked youtube channels for low macronutrient recipes for when dieting down to low bodyfat levels.

I recently visited the low carb grocery and picked up a few items that I discovered from Eric and Kim and I wanted to share some of them with ya’ll.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. First on the list is Joseph’s Bakery Lavash Roll. This thin LOW CARB brea∂ is massive and only contains 80 calories PER sheet, that of which is 4g of fat, 14g of carbs (3g FIBER), and 10g of protein! You can use this bread to make cream cheese filled pin wheels, thin pizza doughs, and chips using an oven on broil.

This is a Lavash Roll Stuffed with low fat cream cheese, greek yogurt, vanilla whey, and sweetener. Topped with Walden Farms pancake and chocolate syrup, YUM!

2. Next we have Joseph’s Bakery Tortilla Wraps. These wraps are soft and taste amazing and they only contain 70 calories per wrap that of which 1.5g is fat, 11g is carbs (6g FIBER), and 7g is protein! I used these to make stuffed wraps, tortillas, AND even cut them then broiled them to make crispy chips. Some olive oil spray and sea salt made them real nice chips with a side of salsa.

3. Thirdly was Joseph’s Bakery Mini and Normal size Pita Bread. These tasted great but were a little delicate so care was needed if you wanted to stuff them. The normal sized pita’s contain 60 calories that of which 1.5g is fat, 10g is carbs (5g FIBER), and 7g is protein! The Mini Pita’s were 50 calories that of which 1g is fat, 7g is carbs (4g FIBER), and 5g is protein!

4. Da Vinci’s SUGAR FREE German Chocolate cake syrup has come in handy for adding flavour to my thick protein shakes and POV cakes and contains 0 calories (relatively). It has a little after taste but is well worth it when mixed in a recipe or smoothie.

5. Also good for adding into protein shakes and cake recipes, is Capella Hazelnut flavour drops. These are super concentrated and make a difference when adding variety to your low calorie, low macronutrient meals.

6. Walden Farms Marshmallow Dip doesn’t taste all that amazing by itself but with their pancake and chocolate syrups it definitely adds presentation and variety to the look of your crepes, POV cakes, and puddings/parfaits without adding calories.

7. Next up, is Mrs. Butter Worth’s Sugar free Pancake Syrup. Walden Farm’s Pancake syrup is pretty awesome and is pretty much calorie FREE.However at $4-5 a bottle it can be a bit pricey over time and not easy to get just anywhere in Canada. Save-on-Foods has this syrup and it tastes great (slight aftertaste) and only contains 20 calories PER 60ml! I used this syrup in Kim Hoeltje’s Cookie Dough Dip recipe. Click here for a homemade Walden Farm’s Pancake Syrup Recipe.

8. Finally The Low Carb Grocery stocks Sugar FREE, Fat FREE, JELLO Pudding mixes which are freaking awesome for low calorie cheesecake recipes and other awesome snacks!
