I’m always on the hunt for ‘better for you’ snacks and as the mother of a daughter with peanut and tree nut allergies, finding sweet treats that are nut-free can be a challenge. Thankfully Rule Breaker Snacks checks off all the boxes of what I need. It’s a healthier snack since the first ingredient is chickpeas and it’s packed with protein and fiber! Plus, the entire product line is nut-free. Rule Breaker Brownies and Rule Break Blondies … [Read more...]

Love Goodly_Aug-Sept Beauty Box
