I had the wonderful opportunity to sample some amazing treats from Purely Elizabeth.

They sent me a complimentary box of various oatmeal packages and granola to review. Simply Elizabeth offers various items including granola, oatmeal, boxed cereal, and pancake/waffle mix.  They are available in stores and for purchase online.  In addition to gluten free offerings, there are many grain free offerings as well.  Here’s what I tried out:

• Classic Cinnamon Superfood Oatmeal & Dark Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal (6 individual packets) $5.99 ($5.09 with subscription)
• 
• Granola: Original and Chocolate Sea Salt 8 oz. – $7.49 ($6.37 subscription)
• 
• Grain Free Keto Granola  8oz. – Coconut Cashew $7.49 ($6.37 subscription)
• 

Let’s Talk Oats:

Oats do not naturally contain gluten.  The problem is this: oats are most often cross contaminated with gluten containing ingredients.  However, you can find certified gluten free oats.  I was so happy to find out that all of the products from Purely Elizabeth contained these certified gluten free oats.  Take a look:

This is such a great thing because now I can enjoy oatmeal and granola without being concerned about gluten lurking about.

What I Loved:

• The taste – Each product that I tasted was truly delicious.  There was a great balance of sweetness – not too much and not too little.  The chocolate sea salt granola was by far my favorite (but chocolate and I have a thing going).
• The ingredients – Each product contains simple, purposefully selected ingredients.  Just look again at the ingredient list for the oatmeal.  It’s packed with flax, chia, quinoa, amaranth, and chicory root.  These additions take an ordinary bowl of oatmeal to a much healthier place.  Also, you’ll see words like ‘prebiotic fiber’ and ‘collagen’ as well.  I love that these good-for-you ingredients are part of these products.  You can see the goodness: 
• The sugar – Everything is sweetened with coconut sugar. Woo Hoo! Say goodbye to the refined, often GMO laden sugar.
• The price – I feel like each of the products is competitively priced, and I love that there is an option to save money with a subscription.  They also offer free shipping with an order of $45 or more (in the continental US).
• The options – There are so many great varieties to choose from; there is sure to be a flavor combination for everyone.
• The possibilities – You can enjoy the cereal, granola, and oatmeal in a traditional way.  However, these products have so many other options: trail mix, breakfast cookies, toppings, cake…the possibilities are endless.  You’ll see some upcoming recipes that feature oatmeal packets in a new way.  I think you’ll love them.  Here’s a preview of one recipe: 

Closing Questions:

• Would I buy these products again?  Absolutely, YES!
• Are they worth the price?  YES!
• Are they quality items/line/brand?  Yes!
• Are they safe to eat?  Yes.
