Van’s New Foods are Simply Delicious! Review & Giveaway

Have you ever tried any of the fantastic foods made by Van’s?  If not, you are really missing out on some seriously wholesome, tasty foods.  Get thee to your local grocery store right now!

For almost 50 years, Van’s has been cooking up yummy foods, originating from the original Van’s restaurant where they first served whole grains and gluten-free foods.   Van’s lives up to its tagline of “simply delicious” – their products truly are delicious, and they’re also good for you.  Van’s believes in using better-for-you ingredients, and does not use any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives in any of their products.

Some of the Van’s products are also verified non-GMO, which is one of the most important things I look for when purchasing ready-made foods from the grocery store.  Additionally, Van’s continues to offer a large line of GFCO-certified gluten-free products outside of the old restaurant.  From breakfast to snacks to dinner, you’ll find something in the Van’s line to please anyone on a gluten-free diet!

Speaking of dinner, let’s talk about Van’s Gluten-Free Creamy Herb & Garlic Pasta.

This pasta is so tasty and wholesome, and it’s super easy to make (it’s ready in just 10 minutes), so it’s a perfec t addition to dinner even when you’re pressed for time.  Not only is this pasta gluten-free, it’s also whole grain and higher in protein than most pastas:  it has 28 grams of whole grains and 11 grams of protein.  Talk about packing a punch!  On a personal note, I’ve been carb cycling, and this pasta fits nicely into my high carb days.

As I mentioned before, Van’s also makes breakfast and snack foods.

I especially love the Van’s granola clusters (also gluten-free).  I have to suggest that Van’s change their slogan from “simply delicious” to “seriously delicious” for this one, because these little nuggets are pure food gold.  Because these are clusters, they’re stickier than regular granola, which makes it a cinch to snack on them throughout the day.  They’re also perfect for breakfast, served with some yogurt and fresh fruit.  My favorite flavor is Cranberry Almond; this flavor actually has pumpkin seeds in it, which I love.  And just a tip from me:  if you want to snack on these, do it with a tall glass of ice cold milk.  You can thank me later.

I’m ready to go back to snacking on some Van’s foods now, so I’ll leave you to explore the Van’s website to see all their delicious choices.   You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on all their products and promotions!
