Snacks, snacks and MORE snacks!! I am LOVING this re-occurring theme here on my blog recently...hope you are as well. :) By now, you should all be well aware of the fact that I love snacks and that my goal is to provide my family with
healthy snacking options. This week, hubby came home from the grocery store with LOADS of fruits and veggies and we are starting to make some dietary changes in our home. Because I have children, I think it is natural to try and find the easiest and most convenient food and this typically means that we eat a lot of processed foods. Anyone with any kind of sense at all knows that in moderation, this is OK but in excess it can be harmful to your health. My children are so important to me (understatement there) that I am really trying to make better food choices for them. Do they always like my choices? No. But I think that offering them healthier options is a good start in the right direction.
I was recently browsing the Internet in search of organic, healthy snack foods and came across the
Mediterranean Snack Food Company. I was immediately drawn to their site because it is colorful and very easy to navigate. I was also very intrigued with their snack foods that they create...most of them are made with lentils! Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Before I continue, here is a bit more about this company...
The Mediterranean Snack Food Company is an entrepreneurial, privately-held company founded in 2005. Our mission is innovation to produce great tasting, nutritionally superior snacks.
Using the superfood benefits of lentils in combination with whole grains and legumes, we create unique healthy and delicious snacks.
We use only the highest quality, non-GMO, and gluten-free ingredients, creating snacks to satisfy even the most health-conscious food enthusiast.
But our commitment to nutritional excellence never causes us to lose sight of the most important feature of good snacking – Great Taste!
That last phrase is key...healthy snack foods need to taste good!! For me, my children don't eat foods that taste bland. That is why I was interested in this company; because they make sure that the food that they create doesn't taste like saw dust!!
So, for this review I was able to choose a few items that I wanted to try and so I chose:
The first bag that I dove into was the
Cucumber Dill Baked Lentil Chips. I LOVE cucumbers and dill is another herb that I enjoy so I was really excited to see how these tasted. Inspired by the lifestyle of the Mediterranean, these and all other products from the Mediterranean Snack Food Company are made with high protein, nutritious lentils, garbanzo and
adzuki beans. I wasn't sure I would like a snack made out of beans, but I was pleasantly surprised! These chips pack a huge crispy and crunch punch and would definitely satisfy any snack craving.
Then, I tried the
Rosemary Baked Lentil Chips and these were very tasty as well! The rosemary herb flavor was very subtle and gave a wonderful undertone to the taste. I enjoyed trying them very much. I have to say that the Sea Salt Lentil Crackers were my favorite though. They were thin and seasoned with just enough sea salt...not too salty at all! My children also really enjoyed these tasty little numbers as well. They made the perfect mid-afternoon snack for them. I have a tough time with garlic right now (due to breast feeding) but did enjoy the
Roasted Garlic HummuZ Crispz. They were light and crispy with a nice flavor of garlic...these would make a lovely appetizer for an Italian dinner.
Probably one of the best features of these products from Mediterranean Snack Foods is that they are gluten free. I know several people who are on special diets due to
gluten intolerance and they always say how hard it is to find snacks that they can eat...that actually taste palatable. I am positive that these snacks would be perfect for anyone who is on a gluten free diet!
You can find more information about the Mediterranean Snack Food Company by visiting their
Facebook page or by stopping by their website. They also have a
store locator on their website that can direct you to a store that carries their products.
So, in my opinion...The
Mediterranean Snack Food Company offers some really tasty snacking options for you and for your family, even if you have gluten allergies. I am really enjoying the diverse flavors and textures in the snacks I received and I feel great about having such great snacks on hand for my family. Wonderful company and TASTY snacks!
The
Mediterranean Snack Food Company has offered to give away a a mixed case (12 bags) of Mediterranean Snacks Baked Lentil Chips to one of my readers! Here are your entry options...
