Lentil Crunchers are the perfect lentil snack loaded with protein and fiber

Straight from a generational farm in Montana are these protein and fiber snacks that are surprisingly addicting right out of the bag. These lentils are farm-grown, seasoned and packaged to snack on or add to salads and recipes. Lentil Crunchers are vegan and gluten-free (the facility processes wheat products, but the ingredients are GF).

Little Crunchers have around 8 servings a bag and each serving is 100 calories. You get 0g of added sugars and 7 grams of protein with 14g of net carbs. A great healthy snack!

Even my teen has been seen opening these a lentil snack bag and pouring some into his hand to much on. The flavors and crunch make them an addicting snack. The come in a few flavors – Signature Salty, Dill Pickle, Sweet Hickory and Chipotle Ranch. Farver Farms also produces Lentil meal and baking mixes to ship. If you need more grains and healthier snacks in your diet, visit the online shop at Farver Farms.

Jax’s Monster Mix is a Peanut & Gluten-Free Snack

January 31, 2022September 18, 2022 Erin Sluka

My son is 13 and snacks to him are bowls of cereals and half a box of crackers if I don’t watch out. So, when I find a snack that is fulfilling and he loves, I keep it around as a snack option. The past few movie nights he grabs a sparkling water flavor and a package of Jax’s Monster Mix. He tells me they are so good as in there are satisfying amounts of the chocolate sesame seeds and the dried fruit is “much better than trail mix raisins”. His exact words are: “..these are better than trail mix because of the little fruit things…” Per his request, I just ordered a 3-box bundle with my new order 10% code to have more on hand!

They may be packaged for the kiddos lunch boxes, but apparently they are good enough for a teen on the couch.
Jax’s Monster Mix contains GF honey roasted sesame snacks, unsulphured dried pineapple, papaya & mango, naturally colored milk chocolate sunflower seeds and organic toasted coconut chips. Everything in this mix makes it peanut and gluten-free and no added sugars.

A 3-box bundle of this Jax’s Monster Mix is a Peanut & Gluten- Free Snack is $15 and there are 15 pouches. This is a $1 snack! Candy bars are more expensive than this pouch! Visit Jax’s website to order today! They are only this price through February and you can save even more by subscribing!

Undercover’s Chocolate Quinoa Crisps are a guilt-free and gluten-free snack

January 21, 2022January 20, 2022 Erin Sluka

Finding a better chocolate treat is hard to swallow sometimes – literally. I have tried many snacks and bars that use great ingredients to make their product a healthier choice and then the taste is severely lacking. Not Undercover chocolate Quinoa Crisps! My entire house loves these as a gluten-free snack choice.

Undercover Quinoa Crisps are a better chocolate treat in so many ways. These are gluten-free, certified peanut and tree-nut free. The products are free from all of the other top ten food allergens including wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, soybeans, fish, shellfish, sesame and poppy seeds. Their milk chocolate does contains milk. They are made in a SQF Level 3, Kosher facility.

The chocolate is Rainforest Alliance Certified and is so delicious. These are more than just snacks, as they are packaged in bags or tins to be given as gifts. There are so many flavors and each with real and natural ingredients like fruits and extracts.

To try these for yourself, find them in stores near you, visit the Undercover store locator.
