At Natural Products Expo West, Purely Elizabeth introduced two all-new product lines, including Single-Serve Vibrant Oats and Grain-Free Superfood Bars, both of which are made with organic ingredients and ancient grains.
The Grain-Free Superfood Bars feature ingredients like cashew butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar and coconut nectar, plus various nuts and seeds to form flavors like Peanut Butter Cinnamon and Chocolate Sea Salt.
At the base of these seemingly indulgent bars adaptogenic reishi, a superfood that is often touted as the "mushroom of immortality." This mushroom is revered for supporting a healthy immune system and aiding the body's response to stress. Although this gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO and paleo-friendly superfood bar does include this mushroom ingredient, Purely Elizabeth notes that the snacks do not have a mushroom taste.
