Product Review: Gourmet Nut Snack Bags https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-gourmet-nut-snack-bags/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-gourmet-nut-snack-bags/#respond Tue, 09 Dec 2014 10:30:49 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=8781 Parent Picked Kid Approved logo

Our friends at Gourmet Nut know how easy it is to forgetfully eat empty calories when traveling or on-the-go so they’ve created snacks that are healthful and affordable. They want to give everyone access to “gourmet” food even when on-the-go and their Gourmet Snack Bags are the perfect example of their company’s promise. These bags contain healthy and delicious food and are resealable so you can take it with you. Each package of Gourmet Snack Bags highlights what is special and unique about the nutritional content so you can know exactly what you are feeding your family. Each bag has clear packaging so you not only read the nutrition, but you can see it, too. We specifically love their High Energy Mix Snack Bag because is loaded with plenty of dried fruit and nuts, which can mean only one thing: YUM!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Mom and I share the nuts for an after school snack!

From the Eyes of a Parent:Gourmet Nut High Energy Mix 7-Nov-14

I love Gourmet Nut because their products are extremely high quality and I can buy them for affordable prices. I love the flavor combination of each snack bag. The benefits are different with each combination of flavors. Specifically, the High Energy Mix Snack Bag has protein, is gluten and cholesterol free and has no trans fat. The pouches are filled with essential fruits and nuts that I can see and taste such as the dried papaya, dried pineapple, banana chips, black raisins, apricot, brazil nuts, walnuts, and cashew nuts.

Flavorful Features:

Gourmet Nut Snack Bags come in various flavors such as:

  • Antioxidant Mix
  • Feel Good Mix
  • Nature’s Mix
  • Cajun Hot Mix
  • Oriental Nut Party Mix
  • Energize Me Protein Mix
  • Soy Health Nut Mix

 

The Icing on the Cake:

Each Gourmet Snack Bag comes in a resealable pouch and contains an outline of the nutritional information specific to the bag.

Time to Eat?!

Snack Time!

Good to Go?

Yes! Each package is resealable and should be stored in a cool dry place.

Mix it Up!

Gourmet Snack Bags can be eaten by itself as a snack or can be mixed into other foods such as yogurt, cereal, or oatmeal.

Product Review: This Bar Saves Lives https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/this-bar-saves-lives/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/this-bar-saves-lives/#respond Fri, 09 May 2014 09:30:02 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=7198 Parent Picked Kid Approved logo

Here at The Creative Kitchen, like any busy mom, we love multitasking! Which is why we’re big fans of This Bar Saves Lives. Not only are their nut-and-fruit bars tasty, convenient, and packed with nutrition, but as part of the “buy one, give one” movement, every purchase helps treat and prevent global hunger for children. So you can feel good about your purchase while also enjoying a delicious snack. They’re a win-win!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

The vanilla tastes so yummy with the honey in it!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:Screen Shot 2014-03-19 at 1.46.33 PM

My kids love all three flavors (though the vanilla seems to be the favorite in the house!) I love these bars because they’re a quick and easy snack to grab on the way to one of our after-school activities. Plus, for every bar you buy, This Bar Saves Lives delivers a packet of life-saving Plumpy’Nut® or Nutributter® to a child in need, which makes me feel like I’m doing good for others, and is an easy starting point to talk about larger issues like hunger with my kids.

 

Flavorful Features:LOGO 1

This Bar Saves Lives comes in three flavors:

  • Dark chocolate cherry and sea salt
  • Madagascar vanilla and honey
  • Wild blueberry and pistachio

 

The Icing on the Cake:

All the bars are made in America, with non-GMO and ethically-sourced ingredients like wild blueberries from Maine, roasted pistachios from California, and clover honey from Wisconsin. Plus, every bar contains Omega-3-rich flax seeds.

 

Good to Go?

Yes! Because each bar is individually wrapped, they’re easy to stash in a bag or in the car.

 

Time to Eat?!

Any time–but best enjoyed as a snack on the go.

 

Mix It Up!

Swirl crumbles of your favorite bar into yogurt or frozen yogurt, or sprinkle over hot cereal for added texture and flavor!
