"Thank you for allowing our family to continue that great Saturday/Sunday morning tradition of pancake for breakfast. After 2 years of searching we had found out that our oldest daughter has a long list of food allergies; Lactose, Corn, SOY, GLUTEN, EGGS, strawberry, blueberry, malt, peas, cashews, bakers yeast, and brewers yeast. I too found out that I myself was allergic to gluten, corn, milk, strawberry, blueberry, and garlic. So we have made significant changes as a family too. We then found out from our doctor in Cincinnati that your pancake mix was available and very tasty. Skeptical, we took off to Whole Foods and bought some of your mixes, and to our delight we found they were better tasting then anything else gluten or gluten free period!!! We now make them in advance with blackberries or now can add the ENJOYLIFE Chocolate chips to make them as treats and freeze for school days or when she has to travel. Your Pancake Waffle mix then was used as a batter for the chicken strips which she loves too!! Thank you for making all of this possible and allowing her to feel "normal” by creating such foods that she actually looks forward to eating or requests to have them. We greatly appreciate your hard work in serving those that have special diets.”– Katrina, Namaste Foods customer email
"My husband is celiac and I am dairy/soy free. There is not much that we can enjoy together, but we are so grateful to have discovered Namaste! We have loved everything we've tried! And we can share foods once again. At my son's last birthday party, I made your chocolate cake. My sister-in-law made a regular from-scratch cake. Everyone preferred the Namaste cake and were astounded to learn that it was gluten, dairy, and soy free (not to mention the other allergens it is free of). In fact, you have some of the only products in the allergen-free foods aisle that actually tastes like REGULAR FOOD! Thank you for creating quality and delicious products for our family to enjoy!” – Shelley, Namaste Foods customer email
"I just wanted to comment on how WONDERFUL and FANTASTIC and so many other positive words about how GREAT and YUMMY your products are. THEY ARE THE GREATEST!!!!! =) I have tried the chocolate cake mix (which my boyfriend who does not watch Gluten and Dairy, thinks Namaste's is the best chocolate cake he has had and thinks it is better then Betty Crocker and Pilsbury cake mixes), the brownie mix (FANTASTIC) it is SO close, you really honestly can't tell a difference between the non healthy kind to Namaste's :), and I just picked up the Say Cheeze product and CAN'T wait to try that. I am sure it will be another fantastic product. THANK YOU SO MUCH and keep up the GREAT work.” – Christina, Namaste Foods customer email
"My name's Lys. I am 33 years old and 2 months ago I found out I had a number of food allergies that included nuts, wheat, potatoes and eggs. I was the processed foods poster child and basically had just figured if it doesn't kill you eat it again. Then I found out I was doing damage to myself and had to change my ways. Most of the allergen free food out there tastes like crap and I was rapidly becoming depressed about ever having warm homey yummy baked goods again. Add to that the cost of constantly trying new expensive foods only to have them taste-wise repeatedly disappoint and I was a woman on the edge. I would cry nightly into my pillow "Oh my dear sweet cookies.. my luscious cakes.. brrrreaaad..(insert sobbing here)..... I miss you so...." And then I discovered Namaste mixes. Yes, they need slight tweaking, a little extra water or oil there as I am allergic to most egg replacers, but they are downright DELICIOUS. I have always been a good baker (horrible chef) and they are easy to work with, cheap and most of all not only tasty by allergen food standards but by regular food standards. My boyfriend who is a FANTASTIC chef even sneaks brownies and such so I know they are good even by regular eater tastes! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your humble servant and new apostle, Lys" - Namaste Foods customer email
The other day, I went to the Jewel-Osco in Spring Grove, IL and found your product. I was initially trying to find a loaf of bread without soy and milk and that's how I came across your product. You cannot know the joy that filled my heart as I looked upon all the delicious foods you make without all the common allergens. I bought your brownie mix and made it the other day. My daughter came home from school and smelled the deliciousness cooling on the stove. She approached me cautiously and asked if it was okay for her to have some of those brownies. She asked with a tone of fear that these were another treat she would never be able to enjoy. I told her, "These are for you. You can eat as much of them as you want with no side effects!" If only you could have seen the smile on her face and how she lit up. She stood there and ate 3 brownies in a row. I cannot believe how good they are. I proceeded to order your waffle and pancake mix and your muffin mix and cannot wait to make those for her, too. These are food items that she adores, but I haven't been able to find them without milk or soy in them.
Basically, I am writing this letter with deepest thanks for your devotion to making GOOD foods available to people with food allergies. You have provided a glimmer of hope in my daughter that she can still enjoy the treats all her friends and family do. You have provided a "healing salve" to her soul. She will no longer feel like an outcast because of her inability to digest certain foods. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Your company is an answer to my prayers. God bless you abundantly, and may your storehouses be filled to overflowing with blessings!!!" – Julie, Namaste Foods customer email
I found your products at Elliott's in Folsom, California near my home right after I was diagnosed. The first time I went there, I was so tired and overwhelmed that I actually cried as I started reading the many labels. Most of them contained soy and/or corn. I came across Namaste and was so glad to find healthy foods I could make and eat that looked easy to prepare.
I received an order from you today that I had placed on line. I made the cookies tonight. My kids liked them a lot, which is great because I suspect they both may need to be off gluten as well. Your products will be a great start.
I have gained back 5 pounds and am feeling so much better. It will take a while to sort this all out but I feel I can do it now. I hope you are planning on adding even more items to your line. I'll buy all that I can! Thank you so much." – Lisa, Namaste Foods customer email
"I wanted to type to say, Thank you! My son is autistic and we just started the GFCF diet, we are into day 4 and after experimenting with some other brands before "officially" starting, I was so relieved to find your products. We made the chocolate cake last evening, as cupcakes, for a PTA meeting. Needless to say, people were shocked that so much was "missing" but everything was there! Taste, texture, quality! We have also made your muffins as a cinnamon quick bread and it turned out wonderfully! I am looking for the white cake, but unfortunately, will have to order it or do some more shopping as our local store does not carry it. Oh, almost forgot, we had the waffles this morning...they were devoured by everyone! I have passed on your product information to our local DAN group as they had not heard of your product. They are making some of the brownies and cupcakes for the Autism Harley Ride tomorrow...
Thank you for all you do and the care you take!" - Candace, Namaste Foods customer email
"My name is Brittany and I recently found that I am allergic to gluten products and on top of that I am also lactose intolerant. I have tried a lot of gluten-free products. Most of them were tasteless or the food itself was extremely gritty. I found your product at a local store, tried it and fell in love with it! I can finally enjoy all of the foods that I love so much. I had almost lost hope. I haven't tried them all yet but I am pretty sure I will not be disappointed. Thank you again." - Brittany, Namaste Foods customer email
"You had me at the Pizza Crust:
I discovered I had a gluten allergy 3 years ago so I had to start eating a gluten-free diet but was not impressed with the flavor and quality of the gluten-free products available. One day last year I walked into a health food store and found your pizza crust mix with herbs, which sounded delicious. I have to tell you that it was the best gluten-free pizza mix I've eaten! From that day forward, pizza was part of my diet again.
...So I ordered some of your other products on-line: Bread Mix, Spice Cake, Noodles and Muffin Mix. All your products are absolutely amazing! I had been led to believe by the other manufacturers of gluten-free products that flavor and quality was not possible. But your products stand alone. There is simply no other product that compares. Each product tastes as good as their wheat counterparts. I'm loving life again and will follow you anywhere!!! (I hope you don't mind : ) Thank You!" - Jeff from Massachusetts, Namaste Foods customer email
"THANK YOU! I just tried your muffin mix. WOW! I have been on a gluten-free diet for a few months now and have had a hard time getting my "bread-fix". I decided to try your muffins and they are wonderful! I added some lemon extract and poppy seeds for extra flavor. Since it was lunch time I heated up some black beans for protein and threw in a few warm baked muffins! It was like eating cornbread and beans - real comfort food! I can't wait to try more products!" -
Rene, Namaste Foods customer email
"Love, Love, Love your products!!!!! I have wheat, gluten and peanut allergies and had almost given up on finding alternatives for baking. Today I made the muffins adding in fresh bananas, blueberries, and ground dates for sweetness with just a touch of vanilla extract. Yumo!! I've also made the spice cake and my husband was hooked! Thank you so much for your wonderful line of foods!!!" – Robin, Namaste Foods customer email
"I've just begun eating a gluten free diet and your mix is one of the first foods I have tried. I was very pleasantly surprized! I made one 16" pizza on a pizza stone and then with the remaining dough made cheesy "bread"sticks. Not only was this the best pizza crust and cheese sticks I've ever eaten but my kids ate more of this than they ever ate of the "standard" store or pizza joint variety! Thanks so much for such a great mix! I will definitely be trying more of your products!" – Michelle, Namaste Foods customer email
"Just wanted to let you know that we are enjoying your foods so much and are so grateful. Our toddler son is celiac with food allergies and our daughter is gluten intolerant, as well as my husband. Our whole house is gluten free. Our son is anaphalactic with nuts so THANK YOU! So many Gluten Free products have nuts. We use your vanilla and chocolate cake for every special occasion. We use your pancakes/waffles and muffins every week. Your blondies are perfect for our chocolate chip bars! (GF and nut free choc. chips added) My kids love them so much. Please do not ever go out of business, or let us know first, as we would have to but a lifetime supply!! You are the best tasting and best value mixes we have found (and we have tried a lot!). Thank you for your great product and keep it coming!" – Laura, Namaste Foods customer email
"My son is Celiac, and finding cake mixes that are palatable is not an easy task. I recently tried your chocolate cake mix for his birthday cake. While the whole family was devouring the cake, they expressed concern that I had given Brian a real cake for his birthday. I laughed and told them it was gluten free. They refused to believe me.That is a great compliment! Two weeks later I made your spice cake. I juiced carrots and used the juice to replace the water and added the pulp. My husband said that it was the best carrot cake he had ever eaten. He ended up eating 6 pieces of cake in a 6 hour period! Needless to say, I am hooked for life on your products, and am looking forward to trying all your mixes. Our local health food store (Whole Foods Market) sells your brand. I went back to them and told them the story that I've just related to you. I said that they should have no hesitation in recommending your product. I also intend to let my son's doctors know about your web site and products. His doctors are at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. They will, I'm sure, spread the word about the excellence your products. They treat thousands of children each year. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!" – Barbara, Namaste Foods customer email
