Namaste - Foods for Everyone - Product Taste-Test & Review

Namaste ~

Ever wonder if the restaurant you're ordering from really double-checked their allergen-list, and made extra sure to serve you the right plate that is allergy-free? Don't stress, you can make your own meals at home! 

Check it out! Today I've made for you two feel-good, completely allergen-free and scrumptious Namaste dishes (and have given you the recipes to do it, too!)

Namaste is a completely female-owned business, and dedicates a portion of their profits to various organizations. I absolutely LOVE that!

For some who may not know... Namaste is a "worry-free" company!  This means that all products created by Namaste are free from the top 8 allergens:

1. Wheat

2. Gluten

3. Soy

4. Potato

5. Dairy

6. Casein

7. Peanuts

8. Tree Nuts

Namaste is also Kosher certified and use NO genetically-modified ingredients! 

I am humbled that after they saw my blog- they asked me to team up with them, taste-test and review some of their allergy-free products! I am so excited to share with you the recipes I've created!
