A Magical and Healthy Packaged Snack

January 21, 2011   179 Comments

Snack Girl has a confession to make. She has begun to receive MANY snack samples in the mail.

My new notoriety can be a good thing. First of all, I have made a new friend - the UPS guy. He chuckles whenever a new box of food arrives.

Also, when I get a lot of something and can't (or don't want to) finish it, my local food pantry gets a gift of unopened snacks.

But, the best part of receiving all these samples is that I find some new yummy stuff!

These Sahale Snacks really surprised me and caught my attention. Their "Soledad Almonds" include apple, flax seeds, date, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper.

Will this combination of tastes work?

How about their "Valdosta Pecans" with sweet cranberries, black pepper, and orange zest?

I gotta tell you. I was fearful when I opened the package, but they were both delicious. Like, "I'm going to buy them for myself delicious"!

The Valdosta Pecans in a 2 ounce package contained:
130 calories, 11 g fat, 9 g carbohydrates, 1 g protein, 2 g fiber, 50 mg sodium, Points+ 4

and all the ingredients were simple and recognizable. The 2 ounce size is absolutely perfect because it is the right amount for a quick snack between lunch and dinner.

These are a great option for putting in your purse, backpack, or briefcase when you are running around town. They aren't cheap ($2 per package) but they are delicious.

You can buy them at Starbucks, on Amazon (below) or find them at a store near you using their Sahale Store Locator. Find them on Facebook at Sahale Snacks.

Sahale Snacks is giving away a $20 package of snacks to a Snack Girl reader.
