🩺 Triple Consult: BFree Pita, Plovara Indian Dips, & Ole GF Tortillas

Just one snack-loving NP’s honest, medically playful review 💗

Welcome back to the food clinic! Today, we’ve got three patients on the table—each gluten-free, dairy-free, and ready for charting. As always, I’m a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (but not your Nurse Practitioner). These are just my personal experiences, not medical advice. Now, let’s take some vitals!

 

💓 H = Health Snapshot

Patient 1: BFree Gluten Free Stone-Baked Pita Bread

  • 130 calories | 1g fat | 30g carbs (4g fiber) | 2g protein

  • Certified gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, and kosher ✅
    I keep these in the freezer, microwave for 30 seconds, then toast or pan-warm. Sometimes I get fancy and oven-bake. Sometimes I don’t. It’s all about balance, right?

Patient 2: Plovara Tikka Masala Dip + Cilantro Green Chili Oil

  • Plant-based, gluten-free, vegan, no seed oils 🙌

  • 25 cal/tbsp (Tikka), 80 cal/tbsp (Green Chili)

  • Found this gem at the Oakbrook Mall Artisan Market—yes, food fate is real.
    They believe “food is medicine,” and honestly, my taste buds agree.

Patient 3: Ole Mexican Foods Extreme Wellness GF Tortillas

  • 100 cal | 2.5g fat | 17g carbs (3g fiber) | 3g protein

  • Certified gluten-free + vegan-friendly

  • Made with avocado oil 💚
    Cold = meh (Bradycardic). Fried = crispy heaven (Sinus rhythm).

🍽️ E = Eating Experience

Let’s talk lunch magic!
I made a chicken tikka masala wrap using rotisserie chicken, Plovara Tikka Masala dip, and the Ole GF tortillas—fried lightly in avocado oil. My husband “wasn’t hungry” … until he smelled it cooking. Classic case of “sudden appetite onset.” 🫢

🥄 The Tikka Masala dip: creamy, tomato-forward, full of garlic + ginger, and just the right spice kick.
🌶️ The Cilantro Green Chili Oil: bright, herby, flavorful—amazing as a dip for pita or veggies.
🥙 The BFree pita: soft once heated, sturdy enough for scooping tikka, and perfect for mopping up every last drop.

Bonus experiment: I cut the Ole tortillas into triangles, fried them in avocado oil, and dusted with cinnamon sugar. 10/10. Tachycardic dessert reaction. ❤️‍🔥

 

💰 A = Accessibility & Value

  • BFree Pita: $5.57 @ Walmart

  • Ole GF Tortillas: $5.74 @ Walmart

  • Plovara Dips: $33 for two jars (Tikka + Green Chili) from the Oakbrook Market and available at www.plovara.com

  • Kite Hill Almond Yogurt (used to mellow spice): $6.99 @ Mariano’s

Not cheap, but compared to a $100 Indian restaurant dinner for two? A delicious, wallet-friendly, authentic win.

 

💓 R = Rhythm Rating

  • 🩷 Plovara Dips → Sinus Rhythm, leaning Tachycardic if stocked locally

  • 💚 BFree Pita → Sinus Rhythm (dependable carb comfort)

  • 🌮 Ole Tortillas → Bradycardic cold, Sinus when fried, Tachycardic when cinnamon-sugared

 

💬 T = Tell Others

Yes, I told my mom. Then I told my husband we’re going back for more. Then we actually did go back. I even picked up Plovara’s Zucchini Bell Pepper Dip (spoiler: also delish).

A quick tip: Plovara oils will stain countertops—treat them like turmeric! And always store leftovers in glass, not plastic. Trust me—your Tupperware will thank you later.

 

💖 Final Impression:

This trio made for a spicy, cozy, satisfying lunch that felt like a trip to my favorite Indian restaurant—minus the price tag and gluten/dairy drama.
Real ingredients, real flavors, real life.

👩‍⚕️ As always, I’m a Pediatric NP (but not your NP). These are just my own experiences—no sponsorships, no medical advice, just good food and honest charting.

✨ Stay safe, happy, and healthy.
