True North Pom-Cranberry Crunch

So I grabbed some of these after falling in love with some other true north products and I love pomegranate and cranberry so I thought why not give this a try.

This bag the mix is almonds, cashews, pomegranate and cranberries. It is extremely delicious. It has a very berry flavor to the brittle flavor. This might be my new favorite brittle mix. This product is vegan and good for you

True North Cashew Crunch

The new year brought a lot of changes for me and one of them was trying to eat healthier so now when I am out I grab healthier snacks. I saw these the other day and since I love cashews I thought why not to grabbing them and giving them a try.

The pieces are nicely sized for one bite I like that since they are sticky. They taste like cashew peanut brittle. Five pieces is 120 calories. They are made with just a few ingredients.

cashews

brown rice syrup

brown rice crisps

sugar

sea salt

and sunflower oil.

They are also vegan, have no preservatives and no trans fat. On top of that they are delicious.

Natures Way Gourmet to Go Sunflower Seeds

Lately I have been on a kick for healthy foods and for nuts and seeds since they have so much value.

I picked up these because I really wanted sunflower seeds and I add them to salads and bring them to class with me for my evening classes.

Graze Unboxing #1

So I just started my subscription with the new healthy snack company Graze. Once a week or twice a month depending on what you choose they send you a small box with four different types of snacks. I choose once a week, so I could split them with my boyfriend for healthier snack options when we go to work and school. This week's box came with 2 things I would eat and 2 things he would eat. There are over 90 things they can send you, so as you decide what you like and dislike they only send the things you like. I like that there is so much variety to try out. I am going to post each week what we get and then what we think of them.. (That will be on the next unboxing post since we will eat them over the course of a week.

So this service is only $5 a week, which isn't too bad considering the cost of food these days, the high cost of eating healthy is a pressure. I made asparagus for dinner tonight and it cost me like $5 just for the bundle. But boy was it yummy.

So here goes. It comes in this cute little box, I tore off my address because I don't want that on the web, but I will say I was expecting it to be bigger, but the box is recycled and they don't leave much of it empty, smart on their part, saving the environment.

The inside of the box is just precious. It's so simple and perfect for snacking, since each one comes in its own little sealed container. I really dig the box, not sure on the tastes yet, but the packaging has me in love at least.

The first box contained

Jaffa Cake - roasted hazels, orange infused raisins and dark chocolate buttons

Summer Pudding - yogurt coated sunflower seeds, blackcurrants, sponge pieces and cranberries

Texan Corn Salsa- corn chips, salsa almonds and roasted corn

Summer Berry Composte - berry compote with wholemeal shortbread dippers

Each one is about a single serving. I love the first two my BF will eat the next two. So we are set.
