Enjoylife Food’s Ancient Grain Brownie Mix | Product Review

This review is long overdue. Enjoylife Foods sent me samples of their new line of Ancient Grain baking mixes many many moons ago. As an avid Enjoylife fan and partner I can assure you that my crazy, hectic life is the culprit and not a subpar product on the part of Enjoylife. In fact, I have a batch of Ancient Grain Brownies in my convection oven as I type.

It’s Sunday and after a super long and productive day, I was craving something chocolate. Mentally I was going to whip up a one bowl chocolate cake but upon opening my pantry, I spotted the brownie box and without a second guess whipped out a glass baking dish, sprayed it with baking spray and was dumping the mix into a bowl.

As second nature as it is for me to bake from scratch, some days, a mix is really all I can muster. It’s times like these that make Enjoylife’s new mixes so wonderful. Like every other Enjoylife product, the brownie mix is free of the three most common food allergens : milk, soy, nut, and of course gluten/wheat. All you need to add is water and oil, stir, pour, and bake. Literally taking less than two minutes from bowl to pan. I mean how on earth can you beat that.

I was sold on the brownies when I first tried them. They are super moist. Uber chocolatey, rich, decadent and contain a healthy dose of added probiotics and 5 grams of protein per serving. Now you can feel sinless while enjoying a normally sinful dessert. With this batch, I added my own cup of chopped pecans and of course will serve with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream. Because well, I want my brownie and ice cream too.

Head over to Enjoylife Foods online to purchase a few boxes of this Amazing brownie mix and a few others while you are at it. The Ancient Grain line comes with: Muffin Mix, All Purpose Flour, Pancake/Waffle/ and Pizza Crust.

Guest Post: Vanilla Cinnamon Almond Butter Recipe by Amber Vesey

Well we made it to the first full week of 2015 and with that comes a guest post from a very special blogger friend that has been super supportive of this blog and all of my endeavors. Amber runs the food blog Eats and Exercise by Amber and was willing to share her more than healthy Homemade Almond Butter recipe. I love almonds and nut butters both of which are full of immune fighting antioxidants and protein. Of course everything in moderation so don’t go overboard on your portions as nut butters tend to have a high caloric index. But enough of my nutrition ramblings.
