🩺 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.
