Specialty Foods Sunday # 3

Today I am highlighting these:



















Made by the "Almond People", they are a crunchy, gluten-free, low-calorie alternative to chips or other crackers.

Other benefits:

  • Gluten-free & wheat-free (for those with an allergy to wheat)
  • 130 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein, & 1 gram of fiber for 17 crackers!
  • 0 mg cholesterol, and low sodium! 
Allergen Warning (Contains):
  • Tree Nuts (almonds)
  • Milk
  • Processed in facility that manufactures Soy, other Treenuts (pecans, hazelnuts), & also Wheat (however tested safe for acceptable gluten-free)

Here is an up-close picture:















They do look a little like tortilla chips, but a little thicker.

Now how do they taste?  They are great if you are craving a crunchy snack, but a little cardboard-y if you eat them plain.  I got them to eat with a spinach-artichoke dip, which made them perfect.  They also come in other flavors like cheddar cheese, country ranch, and smokehouse almond, which I haven't tried yet.

Overall, I think definitely a good snack if you are looking for something low-calorie & gluten-free, or just something crunchy, but I do recommend having something to go with them!

*This is strictly my opinion only as a consumer.
