Ozery Bakery Review & #Giveaway

Sometimes when people hear the words whole grain, they shudder. They think its synonymous with tasteless. Thankfully, that isn't always true. At Ozery Bakery, you can find delicious whole grain products that taste great and are heart healthy. The last few weeks, I've been able to indulge in some of the finest the bakery has to offer, and my whole system is reaping the benefits. Here's a little about each of the products my family got to try.

The One Bun

The One Bun can do so many things. It merges all your favorite breads. Use it as a hamburger  roll, a pita, sandwich bread, and so much more. Choose from wholegrain, organic, wholewheat, and sprouted. I really loved these buns because they are just as filling as other options, but are made with only the best ingredients. They taste great with all types of toppings, but my favorite was a quick and simple tuna sandwich. 

These buns are fresh, soft, flavorful, and packed with goodness. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to regular buns again after having this experience. 

Morning Rounds

These are an excellent alternative to high sugar breakfast foods like donuts or scones. Each one is made using real fruit, whole oats and seeds.  They're  amazing alone or with your favorite topping and are a satisfying meal all on their own. Choose from a variety of flavors including apple & cinnamon, Meusli (raisins), cranberry orange, and date & chai. You can pop them in your toaster, use them for fresh toast, or just grab one to munch on when you're on the go. The options are only as limited as your imagination.

Snacking Rounds

These are all the fun of the large rounds in  an adorable snack size! My children really enjoyed them. They are the perfect size to use as finger foods.  When they were running late, they could grab a few on the way to the bus stop, and they even enjoyed them as a healthy after-school snack.

These are only a few examples of the delicious treats you can find at Ozery Bakery. Look for their full line in a store near you, or order directly from their website. To keep up with new products and promotions, follow them on their social media.

My Thoughts

Getting kids to eat vegetables is always a struggle. I thought it would get easier as they got older, but my thirteen-year-old is just as stubborn as the two-year-old when it comes to getting her to eat anything green or healthy.  The Garden Lites Veggie Muffins are the perfect way to sneak some wholesome vegetables into their meal without them knowing because these yummy muffins taste so good you'll never know they're also good for you.

We received a few packages of Veggie Muffins in various flavors and they were a bigger hit than I could've possibly imagined. Each muffin comes in tasty flavors like blueberry or chocolate chip banana, but in addition to the fruits and chocolate, there also contain a serving of vegetables, not to mention a healthy helping of fiber. They're even gluten free!

My kids absolutely loved the muffins. They are packed with flavor and you'd never know the veggies were there.  I also love the convenience of the Veggie Muffins. You can let them sit out to thaw for a on-the-go snack or toss one in the microwave for 30 seconds and they're ready to go. They make giving kids a healthy breakfast fast and easy. 

The Cheddar Broccoli Bakes were another tasty treat that I really enjoyed. They are great as a stand alone lunch or a main course for dinner. Just toss them in the microwave for a few minutes, and you will have a ready made meal. It comes out just right every time. It's never frozen in the center or burnt on the edges. The broccoli is mixed with rich whole grains, making it almost like a veggie pie. The coating of oozy cheese gives it just enough flavor. You get a portion of grains and veggies and even a little dairy in one delicious package. Garden Lites really is the perfect way to get the most out of  all your meals.
