momlatte41 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I was wondering if anyone has heard of or had Dandy blend tea? It taste like coffee..but it's a tea drink. It is caffeine-free, and has no acidity or bitterness. It is the only herbal coffee substitute that features both the health benefits of dandelion root and the rich, full-bodied flavour, smoothness and texture of real coffee. It is made of water-soluble extracts of roasted roots of dandelion, chicory and beets, and the grains of barley and rye. It contains no gluten. Gluten, which is comprised of proteins that are not water-soluble, is left behind in the grounds to be composted during the extracting process, leaving Dandy Blend gluten-free. The sweetness some perceive in Dandy Blend is primarily from the fructose that occurs naturally in the roots of dandelion and chicory. Many people require no additional sweeteners. It contains over 50 trace minerals in each cup, most of which the body uses to help synthesize compounds needed in metabolism. There are no headaches or other withdrawal symptoms when switching from coffee to Dandy Blend. It is like switching from one brand of coffee to another.

kb0426 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hmmm...as soon as I saw the "grains of barley and rye" it makes me think it is out for the whole30. I will let others weigh in and watch for responses with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momlatte41 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 well that is the part I was not sure of either... b/c it does say gluten free BUT.. hmmm is just how I felt.. Don't want to spend the $$ if it's not really "good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
befabdaily Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Yeah, grains are out during Whole30, but if you tolerate it well you can always reintroduce it when you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momlatte41 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'll think about it.. I only looked into it as a healthier alternative to coffee.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That would be a no-go, I feel confident in saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itisnothard Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Beet sugar is one of the ingredients listed. No no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
