We typically bake from scratch (I’ll link our fave recipe below) but I looove the ease of a simple box mix sometimes too. When looking at the ingredient line up on the “ditch” options… my heart absolutely sank.
❌ Zero organic ingredients – we choose organic to avoid exposure to pesticides and herbicides that are suspected to cause cancer: https://foodrevolution.org/blog/why-choose-organic/
❌ Enriched Bleached Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid) – a big red flag on any label should be “bleached”… but combining inorganic bleached flour with synthetic vitamins that our body cannot properly absorb is less than ideal: https://www.organics.org/bleached-vs-unbleached-flour/
❌ Propylene Glycol Esters Of Fatty Acids – if it is banished from being applied to my skin… I certainly don’t want to ingest it: https://wellnessmama.com/155497/propylene-glycol/
