SnackSack Classic September 2018 Review
SnackSack got a makeover last month! I love the greens and blues of the newer packaging! The pamphlet pictured above contains an abundance of information including social media handles, a “menu” for their three box options and some promotions to win snacks and prizes.
Every first-time subscriber receives a reusable bag, which is meant to hold all your snacks.
Now onto the goodies!
Bjorn Sun-Popped Corn, 1oz - Buy a pack of 15 for $30
This sun-popped popcorn has such a unique taste! They use nutritional yeast, which is high protein and high B-vitamin seasoning to establish this savory, almost-roasted flavor, and I dig it! A lot of prepackaged popcorn tends to be too chewy or stale but Bjorn’s arrived very fresh!
Farmhouse Culture Dill Pickle Krout Krisps, 1oz - Buy a pack of 4, 5oz bags here for $13.61
What an awesome idea for a chip to have probiotics, and what an awesome chip! The chip is already sour from the cabbage, but the dill seasoning takes it right over the top. I ate the entire bag in one sitting, and I found myself wanting more. A bitey snack that supports digestive and immunity health? Yes, please!
Rise Buddy Sea Salt Baked Brown Rice Chips, 1.4oz - Buy 36 bags for $45
These rice chips are definitely more of a cracker. They are really crunchy and have a lighter, crispy texture, and the soy sauce taste comes off as more of a sesame flavor. All in all, they are a pretty good snack, but I don’t think I’d want to have more than a few at a time (might be a good thing!).
Super Snack Time Buffalo Pizza Style Jerky, 2oz - Buy 3 2oz bags for $14.99
This pepperoni jerky is bursting with spicy flavor! It takes a few bites to get used to the texture, which is more pepperoni-like than jerky, but it really tastes like you just ate a spicy pepperoni pizza. The only complaint I have is that the bag is not resealable -- definitely not a dealbreaker!
Deliciousness Honey Mustard Almonds, 3.75oz - Retail Value $5
I’ve tried to avoid mustard all my life, but I have always been the type to try anything once. And here I am trying honey mustard almonds! Sadly, they have not changed my no-mustard policy, but they really weren’t bad. My boyfriend, who loves all things mustard, said that they were a crunchy, delightful treat, and he especially liked the innovative rice cracker shell.
Sunrype Apple WIldberry Fruit To-Go Strips, .5oz - Buy a case of 55 for $44.93 (Found here for $33.33)
This fruit strip was very small and would be a great sugar rush for on the go. It contains a whopping 10 grams of sugar (yikes!) but only 45 calories. As far as fruit strips go, the flavor is tart and mouth-watering, but for as big as this treat was, I think 10 grams of sugar is too high.
Dipin Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, 1.42oz
This hummus and I did not see eye to eye. I was already apprehensive about this shelf-stable version, and red pepper is a flavor I do not particularly like. I dipped one chip into this hummus, and the flavor was just not there. In fact, whatever was there was bleak; sadly, it was not a match for my taste buds!
The Protein Ball Co Lemon + Pistachio Balls, 1.58oz - Buy a variety 12 pack for $22.98 (£17.99)
Cheerful lemon flavors always do it for me. I like the gimmick of protein balls, but six balls contain 7 grams of protein and 187 calories. I am trying to watch the calories/sugar I eat in packaged snacks, and this snack has too many calories for a small amount of protein. I could see these being a big hit for someone more carefree about calories, but for me, I’d rather just drink a serving of bone broth for 45 calories and 9 grams of protein.
Kpop Foods Sea Salt Seaweed Snacks, .18oz - Buy a pack of 12 5g bags for $8.99
I am fascinated with these crisp sheets of seaweed! They are satisfyingly salty and the oils have a bold savory taste, not to mention they are very fun to eat. So crinkly! Superfoods are not always enjoyable to eat, so I am always thankful when I find a winner.
Sheffa Foods Cafe Mocha Granola Bar, .85oz - Retail Value $1.09
In a blind taste test, I don’t know if I would be able to tell the difference between this bar and a Quaker chewy bar with a chocolate chip mocha flavor. It does have a nice hint of chocolatey coffee, and I love that it is gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO. I am under the impression that most granola bars just have very similar tastes and textures. This one is definitely a more grown up, more evolved granola bar but a granola bar nonetheless.
Smashmallow Cinnamon Churro Smashcrispy, 1.15oz - Buy a 6 pack for $5
Yess! I love Smashmallow treats! I just bought some of their flavored marshmallows (which I love), but this soft cinnamon churro Smashcrispy is so cozy! It was the perfect size, and it wasn’t as sweet as a normal rice crispy treat. They also make Mint Chocolate Chip and Strawberries and Cream Smashcrispy treats, and I can’t wait to try them all! A++ in my book!
Janabanana Coconut Banana Bar, 1.34oz - Buy a box of 12 for $13.90
At first bite, I was not a fan of the texture of this bar, but I picked it up again the next day and really liked it! I love the ripe banana taste, with a few shreds of coconut here and there to add a little texture. There are 11 grams of sugar in this bar, but that was expected since there are two bananas packed into it.
Verdict: SnackSack always brings a fantastic array of salty, sweet and savory! I always look forward to trying new, healthy treats, and they do a really great job finding treats I’ve never heard of before.
