National Gluten Free Day – Explore Cuisine

Edamame, Black Bean, Chickpea, Red Lentil. I have had each of these in their “natural” form, but I have got to tell you if you like anyone of
these and you are gluten free then you would enjoy what I am about to share with you. I came across an awesome brand that I have not
known about until recently and I have covered a good couple of Gluten Free Expos in Atlanta. I have received some spaghetti in each of the
forms of protein mentioned above for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Currently, I am eating differently and starting to more cognizant of what I stuff my face with, so these spaghettis are right on time. They are
vegan and full of protein.  Explore Cuisine helps take the guilt out of your favorite pasta meals. All Explore Cuisine products are vegan,
gluten-free, non-GMO and jam packed with nutrients –the perfect alternative to other glutinous pastas.
I could not leave without sharing an awesome looking dishes that you will be able to try yourself.  All of the spaghetti are delicious and you
will not be disappointed at all. The cool colors keep me wanting to come back in addition to the taste. I mean really who can resist green,
black or red pasta especially when there are no harmful ingredients to make it the colors they are.

    We are a family that really loves pasta. We are not gluten-free, but I do like the idea of trying pasta made from legumes and other ingredients. I imagine it’s a lot more nutritious than regular wheat-based spaghetti. I’ll have to watch out for this brand in our local grocery stores.

    My grandmother had celiac, so I do try to avoid gluten when I can. It is great to know about all the options that are out there!

    These pasta dishes look great! I’m a big fan of pasta so anything that makes it a bit more healthy is definitely a bonus.

    Back in the day when GF was not all the rage, it was tough:( But man there are so many great delicious non-carboard box tasting foods now. I have not tried this brand but I am going to have to give it a try.

    This looks delicious! I’m working on having a healthier diet this year. I get so frustrated because I’ll commit to eating healthy for a few weeks before regressing 🙁
