I love to cook from scratch, so having high quality ingredients is a big deal.  I got to sample the Organic Vanilla Bean Powder from Sunny Day Organics and I’m pretty sure I will never go back to “regular” vanilla again!!  The Organic Vanilla Bean Powder is made from 100% raw and organic vanilla beans.  They are gluten free, vegan and loaded with antioxidants.  This vanilla powder also have trace amounts of minerals such as potassium and iron. 

The powder can be used in place of vanilla extract in pretty much any recipe.  It can also be added to coffee or smoothies.  It can be used to make a mosquito repellent, which I haven’t tried yet because I haven’t run out of my current bug spray.  It can also be used to add aromatherapy fragrance to many DIY beauty products!  I love it most in smoothies and baking!  I just LOVE the fresh, strong taste of the vanilla.

P.S. Check our new fancy, schmancy disclaimer and disclosure here.
