I love cake! I love cake! I love cake! That is why I was triply overjoyed when my marvelous mailman delivered my Uforia’s Triple Delight Gluten-Free Cake.

This triple layer cake is a gluten-free melt in your mouth delight. Moist, buttery and rich – just a small slice of this cake is a perfect complement to a cup of tea or coffee, at a birthday celebration or as a dessert at a fancy dinner party, or even to share during a weekday meal with your family.

I love the simple goodness of this vanilla-chocolate-vanilla layered cake. The ingredients are all-natural and the recipe comes from an old family recipe.

This cake is a life saver when it comes to needing a really good gluten-free cake for a birthday celebration or special occasion. You can order it here, and get it delivered moist and fresh right to your door.

All these yummy reasons are why Uforia Triple Delight Gluten-Free Cake is this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com. A triple Congratulations to Uforia!

If you are looking for a bar that is packed (and I mean PACKED!) with protein look for further than the Quest Bar.

Packed with 20 grams of protein a bar, healthy ingredients, and containing no sugar or artificial sweeteners, this gluten-free and high fiber bar is screaming “eat me… I’m good for you!”

The Quest Bar is a perfect choice for those that need a high protein snack between meals. All-natural and super-tasty this bar has quickly become one of my favorites.

The Banana Nut Muffin is my favorite, but other varieties include Vanilla Almond Crunch, Apple Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake… and more.

Perfect for athletes, between meal snackers, and even diabetics… this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com is awarded to Quest Bars. Congratulations!

When someone says “Van’s Natural Foods” my mind automatically thinks “waffles!” But since trying their new snack bars my love for Van’s has moved beyond breakfast.

Van’s now makes gluten-free snack bars. They come in three great flavors: Cranberry Almond, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Chocolate.

These bars are chewy, tasty and ready to eat for snack time, or any other time, you’re looking for a quick and easy snack on the run.

I really like the Cranberry Almond bar for a mid-morning snack, and the other two chocolate varieties for a sweet anytime snack.

Packed with gluten-free whole grains & fiber, these baked snacks are a must try.

Cheers and many thanks to Van’s Natural Foods. There’s no waffling about it. These snack bars are keepers! Congrats!

It’s not very often that I love, love, love a product. The kind of love that I want to sing my praises from the highest rooftop.

A product that has ingredients, packaging, ease of prep, and most important, a taste that I love.

And Vigilant Eats Organic Superfood Cereal has it all.

This organic cereal is also (certified) gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and has no additives, preservatives or refined sugar. It is also Non-GMO certified, and is vegan certified too.

The cereal comes ready-to-eat in a cardboard cup. The prep is easy too. Just add a little bit of cold water (no boiling required!) and mix with the portable spoon that is included in the package. And Voila! Breakfast is served!

A hefty portion at 3-ounces, this gluten-free cereal is filling and delicious. My favorite variety is the Coconut Maple Vanilla – and no wonder since coconut, maple and vanilla rank up there when it comes to three of my favorite foods (and scents!).

Other delicious flavors are Goji Cacao, Espresso Maca Mulberry, and Maca Double Chocolate.

A congratulatory shout-out from the highest rooftop to Vigilant Eats on being awarded this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com!

I love a good root beer. But I’m not one to drink tons of soda, usually because all of the chemicals and stuff. That’s why I was so excited to find Virgil’s All Natural Root Beer.

Virgil’s Root Beer is a micro-brewed, unlike most all other root beers out there. Virgil’s root beer is really brewed. In fact Virgil’s says that they are what Ben & Jerry’s is to ice cream, what Dom Perignon is to champagne. And you know what? They are absolutely correct. Their root beer is one-of-a-kind deliciousness.

Virgil’s is also gluten-free, is made with all natural herbs and spices (vanilla from Madagascar? Cinnamon from Ceylon? Or clove from Indonesia, anyone?), and it comes in some fabulous flavors including Cream Soda, Black Cherry Cream Soda, Orange Cream Soda, Real Cola and Dr. Better.

All these all-natural, delicious and refreshing reasons are why Virgil’s Root Beer is awarded this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com. Congratulations!

P.S. Speaking of Ben & Jerry’s… how good would a root beer float be with Virgil’s Root Beer and a scoop of Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Ice Cream? Yum!

I love a good crunch with my gluten-free sandwich for lunch. But sometimes plain ole’ potato chips can be so ho-hum. That’s why I was so very happy to discover Glories Maple Chipotle Sweet Potato Chips made by Good Health Natural Foods.

Glories Maple Chipotle Sweet Potato Chips are all natural chips that are made kettle-style. They are are gluten-free, as well as GMO free, and have 0 grams of trans fat.

Good Health Natural Foods also make a bunch of other gluten-free products including Chilean Lime Avocado Oil Potato Chips, Rosemary Olive Oil Potato Chips, and for all you chocolate lovers out there’s a Popcorn Pop Chocolate. All of these yummy & good for you reasons are why Good Health Natural Foods is awarded this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com. Congratulations!
