Review: Flax Z Snax Elite Low-Carb Brownie Mix


I heard so much about these brownies, I HAD to try them for myself!

I'm constantly on the look out for any brand new low-carb products to come out that will help you as you are livin' la vida low-carb. With a lot of garbage products out there purporting to be "low-carb," it's nice to know there are a few companies who are dedicated to serving the low-carb community with high-quality products you'll feel good about sinking your teeth into. LITERALLY!

One of those companies is Flax Z Snax and they have one of the most talked about new low-carb products to hit the marketplace in a very long time: Elite Low-Carb Brownie Mix. Yes, I said LOW-CARB BROWNIES and these morsels of chocolaty goodness are indeed the real deal.


Whip up a batch of these gorgeous brownies in less than 30 minutes

The Flax Z Snax Elite Low-Carb Brownie Mix is made of flaxmeal and real cocoa and sweetened with erythritol (not the highly-inferior sugar alcohol maltitol, thank God!) for the authentic taste and texture of high-carb brownies.

But the good thing about these brownies is the fact that they are high-fiber (5g per brownie!) and have just 5g net carbs. If you pay attention to the glycemic index, then you'll be pleased to know these are very low-glycemic and even give you 3g protein as well.

Best of all, making these brownies is as easy as ONE, TWO, THREE:

ONE: Add to the mix a stick of butter, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup of water.
TWO: Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
THREE: Cool and get ready for your tastebuds to do the tango!

I was surprised by how very simple these brownies were to make. But even more surprising was how incredibly moist and delectable the Flax Z Snax Elite Low-Carb Brownie Mix is despite not having any sugar or white flour in it at all. WOW! It astouds me how they can make a comfort food like brownies taste THIS good!

These brownies go great with some low-carb ice cream or with a touch of heavy whipping cream poured on top of this warm and inviting low-carb dessert. I've tried a lot of low-carb baking mixes, but this is arguably the best one I think I've ever tasted. It's well worth trying it for yourself to see what all the hype is about.

Trust me, the Flax Z Snax Elite Low-Carb Brownie Mix is awesome!

Atkins Low-Carb Pancake & Waffle Mix Is Back


The Atkins pancake mix is now manufactured by New Hope Mills

Were you a fan of the Atkins Quick Cuisine Pancake & Waffle Mix when it was available from Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. a few years ago? The company has since decided to stop manufacturing this once-popular mix to focus on their bars and shakes. But they have agreed to let a company called New Hope Mills use their proprietary recipe for creating the exact same great product!

It's called New Hope Mills Sugar Free Pancake & Waffle Mix and it contains just 3g net carbs just like the old Atkins mix. It does not contain any sugar alcohols and is perfect for diabetics since it is completely sugar-free. WOO HOO!

There are 3g fiber and a whopping 13g protein in every serving of these pancakes which are substantially lower in carbohydrates than your typical high-carb version. And the taste is definitely what makes this mix so truly remarkable. They have all the sensational and robust flavor of your favorite breakfast treat!

These are so super-easy to make--just add water, oil, and eggs to the New Hope Mills Sugar Free Pancake & Waffle Mix and low-carb pancakes or waffles will await you in just a matter of minutes! Don't deprive yourself of something you enjoy. Bring back all the memories of your childhood once again with hot, fresh, and fluffy low-carb pancakes.
