Fage Greek Yogurt-Love it! Enough said….being lactose intolerant I am addicted to all Greek Yogurts and Fage is by far the best consistency, yet always pricey.
Stonyfield Oikios Greek Yogurt- Decent taste, moderately priced, however, the container is quite small and I feel as though I don’t get enough yogurt in one container.
Siggi’s Yogurt- Interesting flavors, moderate-highly priced; enjoy using the cute little spoon that comes on the top of the yogurt. Not my favorite taste, yet interesting.
Chobani Greek Yogurt- Not as thick as the other Greek yogurts, good taste, great price, sometimes can be too “runny” and “watery”

Pamela’s Products- Great gluten-free baking mixes. My favorite is the Cornbread & Muffin Mix and the Baking & Pancake Mix. Both are delicious and you would never know they’re gluten-free…as for Pamela’s products, I have tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter cookies, which are delicious and quite tasty. They’re not hard as a rock, but quite crumbly and a have a nice consistency. The Spicy Ginger with Crystallized Ginger cookies are very unique and unlike any cookie I’ve ever tasted before. We’ve all had the ‘typical’ ginger snap cookies, but Pamela’s special ginger cookies are 10 times better than a ginger snap. The best part is the crystallized ginger pieces that add a nice hint of sweetness. Pamela has created a vast array of gluten-free desserts for those of us who cannot consume gluten…so, if you’re looking for a tasty gluten-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth, give Pamela’s a try. Start with the baking mixes and create your very own gluten-free dessert.

Wildwood Foods- Be sure to take a look at my review of the deliciously tasty Wildwood Hummus, Probiotic Soy Yogurt, Soy Pasta and Probiotic Soy Milk. I recently also discovered Wildwood Salsa, which is now on the top of my list for fresh salsa brands.
Enjoy Life Foods-This allergy-friendly brand sells products free of: Wheat/Gluten, Dairy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Egg, Soy, Fish or Shellfish. Moreover, all Enjoy Life products are made without casein, potato, sesame and sulfates!
Nasoya Firm Tofu- My favorite tofu by far. I can incorporate this into each and every meal and snack and be very satisfied. This tofu has a unique taste especially when grilled, toasted, pan fried or cooked in the oven.
Nasoya Silken Tofu-Great for smoothies and desserts. Light, smooth consistency that is easily blended and takes on any flavor that you wish.
Nasoya Mayonnaise- Not my favorite mayonnaise alternative; I found this to be a bit too thin for my liking…I prefer a “hearty mayo” and I was not satisfied with this brand.
Veganaise- A mayonnaise alternative. The best part about this is the rich flavor because they do not cut back on fat, which keeps the amazing taste and flavor when added to any meal. A perfect consistency and spreads evenly onto any bread/wrap.

Great list! I love many of these products, especially Sweet Leaf Stevia and Tofutti Cream Cheese (the non-hydrogenated one.) I don’t eat dairy, so I have never tried any of those yogurts, but I really like the new So Delicious Coconut Milk Kefir, a lot!
Thanks Holly; I’m so glad you enjoyed this list…let me know if you try any of these products..I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Have a great day.

Hi Amie, I’m so excited I stumbled apon your website. I just bought Amazing Grass: Organic Wheat Grass Drink Powder which I have been using daily for a few days and I already feel as if I have so much more energy. I was looking for recipes or ideas to mix the powder with instead of apple juice and found your featured recipe for butternut squash on their website. I can’t wait to make it. I clicked on your link for additional recipes and I found this amazing world of AMIE VALPONE! What a great site you have going! I recently also bought chia seeds which I love as well! I tried to search recipes using the Wheat grass or chia seeds but I wasn’t able to find anything. Am I not search right?
Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful knowledge and ideas!
Brittany
