Meet my new favorite snack:
Not to be confused with these:
Tricky, huh? I saw the Emerald Cocoa Roast nuts a while back and got super excited only to read the label and find out they contained sucralose, an artificial sugar. I avoid artificial sugars like poison. Which isn't far from the truth. Anyway, if I'm trying to choose a healthy snack, chemical-covered almonds just doesn't do it for me.And then I saw Blue Diamond's natural brand Monday night. Flipped the bottle over ready to see a ton of junk despite the natural label and guess what?! It's clean! Well, almost. A little bit of corn maltodextrin, but tiny and it contains the natural sweetner, stevia (rebiana), instead of sucralose!
Talk about negating the benefits, I have eaten almost the entire thing. It's Wednesday. The expiration date says "April 2012". Yeah right. If I'm good, it may last through tomorrow.
Blue Diamond always pulls through! I need to get some of these.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the recommendation - I liked the sucralose ones because nothing else existed. My favorite website for healthy snack ideas is http://www.snack-girl.com/
ReplyDeleteWord from the wise or should I say the unwise: set a max amount of intake before you start to snack. This was my downfall! :)
