GF Oreo blind taste test! Can we tell them apart?!
I was trying to find the new gf Chips Ahoy choc chip cookies, and stumbled on these instead. Did you know Nabisco made gluten-free oreos?!?! I didn't. But they are stocked with all the regular oreos, so I don't normally check that aisle. Have I been living in a hole, and missing out??!? Anywho, we grabbed some. As well as the regular ones, and the OG of gluten-free sandwich cookies: the Glutino brand, to see which we liked better, and to see how well Nabisco did formulating t

🍫🌱We tried every plant based chocolate bar at Walmart 🇨🇦 Which was the best? 🤭
I went to Walmart to buy a chocolate bar to melt in the sun & dip strawberries in with the kids and I was surprised to find quite a few new plant based chocolate bars. So I ended up grabbing one of each for us to taste test & review at home! Some use almond paste instead of milk ingredients, some use oat and rice. See which we liked best, and recommend. :) Watch our unboxing/review here: https://youtu.be/kda13noVMCA Taste testing: Lindt Vegan Creamy Lindt Vegan Salted Caramel

Dairy-Free Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream plus Mix-ins | No pudding mix | Vanilla is vegan!
