HungryRoot - Product Review

Well so begins a slew of pregnancy-related posts. We are currently fourteen weeks pregnant and have announced to everyone our big news. So now it can become blog official as I start to talk about all the wonderful and great products I am using to get through these forty weeks. I'm officially in my second trimester and my nausea is almost completely gone. What has kicked in now is the insatiable hunger. I literally am hungry ALL DAY LONG. And all night. Yes, I'm hungry in the wee hours of the morning and if someone brought me a cheeseburger at three in the morning  I would gladly eat it. Anyway, I know that wouldn't be healthy and I am definitely making sure I am eating plenty healthy. I'm also very tired so healthy food that is convenient is on the top of my list right now. I came across HungryRoot, which is a line of convenience foods that are gluten free, healthy and packed full of protein and nutrients. All things I need right now!

Each of the products that are part of the HungryRoot line can be prepared in under seven minutes. Which if you're really hungry, that's fantastic. You get the products shipped right to your door, chilled, and ready to either use or refrigerate. I noticed the products I received had really good best by dates so you can stock up a bit with each shipment. I received a variety of products to try from HungryRoot and so far I love them all!

Maple Chickpea Pancake Batter
This batter is awesome. I eat gluten free and so far have only found one pancake mix that I like. This one is full of protein and is definitely getting added to my list as a favorite. The pancakes don't turn out too dense and they have a really lovely flavor.



Coconut Carrot Cake Bites
These are similar in concept to peanut butter oatmeal balls which I like to make often. They are raw and full of healthy ingredients. These bites comes with a coconut dipping frosting you can use but honestly we preferred them plain they were that good.


Carrot Noodles With Tangy Sriracha Peanut Sauce
I love veggie noodles but I have ditched my Vegetti noodle maker because it was such a pain. So when I saw these I was really excited because I was going to get to enjoy carrot noodles and not have to make them! I actually took these noodles, added some other ingredients and turned it into a stir fry. I got to leave out noodles or rice and use the carrot noodles instead, making this a super healthy dish.



In addition to these personal favorite products, there are plenty of other products available through HungryRoot such as cookie doughs, hummus and much more. I love these products because they kept me full but I know I am making healthy choices by eating products from HungryRoot.
