One of the things that I drone on about to family and friends is how important it is to eat a clean diet for healthy living; this means limiting the amount of processed foods we eat. I wasn’t always this way — only after I discovered I have celiac disease and have to avoid gluten. It got me looking at packages and ingredients all the time, and logically, I just started to think how our bodies weren’t designed to process all these chemicals that are added to foods today.

Since changing my diet, I’ve noticed a measurable improvement in my mood and how I digest foods. And living a gluten-free life is now as natural as speaking English as a first language or whatever — you get my point. And one thing that I love love love is how often people recommend foods, restaurants and brands that I should try. (Believe me, there’s a lot of caca out there when it comes to gluten-free foods, but there are also some gems.) One such treasure that was recently recommended to me is Clean Cravings. It was founded by Shelly Malone, who basically created this brand of delicious (and I mean delish!) foods to fill the void she found when trying to eat a clean diet. So she developed foods that are free of artificial, man-made ingredients as well as gluten-free, vegan and have zero trans fats.

One of the things I miss most is pizza — sometimes I just need a slice of New York style pizza. Wahn wahn wahn. At least I can find a yummy alternative and I can order it online. Check out Clean Cravings offerings and shop online now.
