We always start with Ancient Grains.

Some of our favorite Ancient Grains are Pure Dark Rye Berries (less gluten than wheat), Oats (gluten free) and Sorghum (gluten free). Ancient Grains are largely unchanged over the last several hundred years. Modern wheat, which has been constantly bred and modified, is not an ancient grain.  

We also prefer to use Whole Grains, which are higher in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals than refined grains such as white flour. 

Ancient Whole Grains tend to have low Glycemic Index (GI) values, meaning they are slower to cause increases in blood sugar levels.

Our gluten free flours are made with beans and roots such as Fava Beans, Garbanzo Beans, Potato Starch and Tapioca Flour.

Pure Olive Oil and Real Butter infuse rich texture and flavor. They contain no carbohydrates, therefore they slow blood sugar levels when eaten with higher GI value foods.

Then we load in colorful fruits and vegetables like Bananas, Carrots, Cranberries, Apples and Pumpkin.  These powerhouses of nutrition give us energy and strength.

We use Black Cocoa, which is dark in color and smooth in flavor to balance the bitterness of Natural Cocoa, which is high in antioxidants.

To sweeten naturally, we use ingredients that have vitamins and minerals like Honey, iron rich Blackstrap Molasses and Evaporated Sugar Cane, a less-processed sugar.  

One of our favorite natural sweeteners is Raw Cane Demerara Sugar, which is made from sugar cane juice that is evaporated and spun to form crystals.

Our sugar substitute of choice is an Organic Stevia/Erythritol blend that provides the sweetness of sugar without the calories. Stevia is extracted from a plant whereas erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol derived from corn.

Carefully selected ingredients that taste good and are good for you are the foundation of our mission. We are honored to be a part of your healthy body journey.

From our kitchen with love,
