Namaste Products

[ebrbetty]

hi guys, just wanted to share my favorite gluten-free products..Namaste makes the best brownie, chocolate cake and pizza crust mix I have ever had!!

I make the cake and brownies weekly..the mixes are Hugh, brownies bake in a lg 13x9 pan and the cake mix makes a double layer.

I had my first gluten-free Pizza tonight..made the crust, topped with fresh low acid tomatoes, sauteed red peppers and onion..it was fantastic..hubby who is not gluten-free ate 4 slices!! the pizza mix was only $6.50 and it makes 2 large pizzas

this company believes in giving a lot of great product for the money

I buy mine at a little health food store here in mass, but you can order from them online..worth the shipping

yep, their pancake mix is what I served with my homemade blackberry syrup at the reunion I mentioned this weekend, and everyone enjoyed them. good stuff.

[ebrbetty]

yup, i have the pancake mix too..very good but the stuff i mentioned above is even better

i've tried other gluten-free brownie mixes none are as good..my son begs for the cake and he does not eat gluten-free..i make a homemade gluten-free/df choc frosting to go with

Where in MA can you buy Namaste products? I called Whole Foods and they don't carry them. I was looking for a good chocolate cake mix to make this weekend for my daughter's birthday and Jillian from this board recommended it to me. I've been trying to find a place to get it over the past couple days because there isn't enough time for me to order it online and have it by her party. Thanks!

Thanks Jillian! I'll be near Hanover on Thursday. Now, let's just hope that they have the chocolate cake mix in stock! Her party's on Sunday. Thanks again!

[wolfie]

I just ordered some of their pancake & waffle mix from their website and shipping was only $4.75 for 2 boxes. Some of our local stores carry the cake mix & blondies mix, but have never seen any of the others. I am interested in the pizza mix now, too!!

Thanks for sharing!!

[ebrbetty]

we hated the blondies, i even mixed in chocolate and we just didn't like it..the chocolate mixes are awesome though..I'm going to New Leaf to buy the cake and brownie mix today..only 1 of each left in my pantry, can't run out lol

Reading about Namaste's Chocolate cake (the BEST out there!) I remembered that i am making a cake for my dad's birthday this weekend. I wanted to share this recipe with you all - it's decadent!

A coworker of mine brought it in around the holidays last year. Hers wasn't gluten-free so I could only drool

But she said she found it at the cool whip website. I have made the cake as described in the recipe before and it is killer. I sometimes just make the frostins/icing and use it on other cakes - it is so GOOOOD!

Try this the next time you have a gallon of milk that you need to get rid of!

sounds great, i'll have to try it when i can have dairy and not worry about the fat grams lol

[jnifred]

I LOVE the Namaste mixes. The spice cake is a favorite around my house. I amke it with carrot shavings, zucchini shreds or apple sauce and top it with my homemade cream chees frosting and it never lasts for long. I made the chocolate cake for Grant's b'day (11yo) and topped it with marshmallow stuff and it was absolutely divine!!! Make the brownie's all the time, with my little secret added in. and have just bought some pasta/rice mixes that we are going to try......something like rice-a-ronis, or pasta-roni, only gluten-free....will let you know how they turn out.

I order them by the case from a wholesale group that orders once a month.

[amber-rose]

Yeah they're one of my favorite gluten-free companies!!! Their brownies taste actually better than the regular gluten filled ones!!

[Natlay]

I loved their brownies although I did think they tasted different than regular ones. I didn't care though...I've become a lot less picky since discovering gluten, dairy, corn, and soy intolerances The last time I made the brownies I used a little apple butter in place of some of the oil. It was an unsweetened kind with a little cinnamon in it so it gave the brownies an interesting taste. It was really good...I think it would be even better in the blondie mix though.

[Guest nini]

my daughter and I volunteered this past Sat. at a Healthy Kids Expo at our local Co Op, and our job was the gluten free sample table, we had Namaste Brownies and Blondies both on the table and at the end of the day the brownies were gone but the blondies were practically untouched. I brought some of the blondies home and ended up throwing them out. They weren't terrible, just not as good as the brownies. We also sampled Ian's gluten-free Chicken Nuggets and Fish Sticks (those were a huge hit) and Kinnikinick cookies, Enjoy Life cereal bars, Zen-Soy pudding, and several other items... it was a lot of fun talking to other people about Celiac and gluten free food.

I just took the choc. cake out of the oven..i use 4 egg whites instead of 3 whole eggs and substitute applesauce for the oil, cuts the fat and calories and still tastes awesome..a little chocolate frosting and yum
