Old London Snacks Review & Giveaway

Ahhh...I seem to be on a snacking kick lately! I think it is the weather. Yep. The hot summer days seem to have ended and now we are getting into cooler weather. Sometimes, snacking is just more fun when you are not sitting in the heat and humidity. I really love to snack when I am blogging, and I also snack when the children have gone to bed and I am relaxing with my hubby after a busy day. Soo, because I like to snack often, I try to make healthy snack choices. This is not easy seeing as I live with a guy who LOVES chocolate and sweets. :)  It is for this reason that I am always on the look out for healthy snacks. If I can still have a snack without having to worry about extra calories or fat, I will.

Today, I am going to introduce you to a snack brand that I have heard of in the past, but have never tried. Old London snack foods are diverse in taste and in "style". They carry Melba Toast, Bagel Chips, Melba Snacks and JJFlats...which all sound so great! The Melba Toast is what I have heard of and of course, Bagel Chips too. Before I continue, here is a bit more about the Old London brand...

It was 1897 when, concerned about her stylish figure, the talented opera singer Miss Nellie Melba sent the famed Parisian chef Auguste Escoffier back to the kitchen. Her complaint was that her bread was much too thick. Escoffier returned to Ms. Melba’s table with a thinly sliced piece of toasted bread, and promptly named it Melba toast in her honor. Nellie Melba’s name would go on forever, just like she always said it would.

The first Melba oven was built in 1932, leading to the development of the Melba Round. These improvements allowed Old London to introduce the first restaurant packs to the public, gaining widespread approval. Today Old London carries over 20 flavors of authentic, original, crunchy taste sensations in Rounds and Toasts.

Make Old London part of your active, healthy lifestyle. Melba’s satisfying, crisp bite makes it a light bread replacement for a quick lunch or easy snack. Try all the Old London products, a brand you can trust for a great flavor and outstanding quality. Look for the Old London Specialty Cracker Section in your local grocery store and find more than just Melba!!

I was really interested in trying Old London products because they look super healthy and seem like they have great flavors too.

So, for this review I was sent several boxes of Old London snacks to try. I was sent:

Sea Salt Melba Snacks
Rosemary Melba Toast
Garlic & Herb Bagel Chips

Recently, hubby and I planned a nice evening together after the children went to bed and while he was indulging in Doritos, I was breaking out my Old London snacks. I have to admit that these snacks are definitely on the VERY healthy side. They don't taste greasy or over salty. Some might think they are bland, but I thought they were seasoned very nicely. Because of his snack preference, my husband did not like these snacks.

I love that the Melba Toast was individually packaged with a few pieces in each pack. This makes it really easy to just eat a small amount, rather then a whole box at once. :) The rosemary flavor was, I thought, very nice. It wasn't over powering at all. These small pieces of Melba Toast were super crunchy too, which easily satisfied my craving for a crunchy snack.

The Garlic & Herb Bagel Chips were very tasty too...they have just enough garlic on them so you know you are eating garlic but not too much. I love bagel chips anyway so these were a great snack for me. I couldn't really tell the difference from the bagel chips and the Melba Snacks because they looked the same. The most noticeable difference was the flavor...obviously. :) I love salty foods and the Sea Salt flavor was wonderful! I could eat these all day.

You can purchase Old London Snacks online or at your local supermarket and prices vary depending on which product you want.

So, in my opinion...the Old London Snack selections that I was sent are wonderful! I love the options and flavor choices as you can pick and choose which ones suit you best. Personally, I LOVE the Sea Salt Melba Snacks because I am a salt fan...these are wonderful!! I would recommend these snacks to anyone looking to change over to healthier options. You will be guaranteed a healthy and tasty snacking experience with Old London!

Old London has offered to give away 5 boxes of melba toast/snacks/bagel chips to one of my readers! YUM! Here are your entry options...
