Kay's Naturals

I am pretty sure everyone know how much I love snacks.  I rarely even eat "real meals".  I prefer to just snack all day.  I am also a vegetarian and sometimes struggle to get enough protein in my diet.  When I came across Kay's Naturals, I was thrilled! High protein snacks!! I feel like they were made just for me!

Kay's Naturals gave me a special coupon code so I could browse their website and pick out a few goodies to try and review.  It was so hard to decide!!

As soon as I saw Mac & Cheese Puffs, I knew they were going into my cart.

I was really hoping they were going to be good because I had to get a box of 6 individual bags.  

I really like how most of their products come in single serve bags.  I am definitely a lover of convenience! I always pack my lunch for work so it is great when I can just toss something in my bag.  

I am loving those numbers! 

I also liked how all the snacks seem so have very similar macros.   

Let's get tasting!! That is the most important test for a snack after all.  

At first glance, they reminded me of big Kix cereal.  They are very light and airy which is great because that means volume food!

They tasted great! Lots of cheesy flavor.  

Very crunchy!  These would be a great movie snack! Not really a huge popcorn fan anyway... Two thumbs up for these guys!

I also ordered a Sweet Sampler Pack.  

I got two each of the Honey Almond Cookie Bites, Almond Delight Puffs, and Cinnamon Toast Pretzel Sticks.  Notice the Gluten Free label on there?! Love that!

Up first were the Honey Almond Cookie Bites.  

I took these with me when I went to visit my parents.  Bad idea...why?? Because of course my mom wanted some too! I decided to be a nice daughter and let her try some.

We both loved the smell of cinnamon as soon as I popped open the bag.  

My mom referred to them as "little pillows" and loved the crunch.  I thought they had a great flavor! I could really taste the cinnamon and honey.  Perfect amount of sweetness! They were super crunchy but then kind of melted in your mouth.  We devoured the bag!

More puffs! Sweet ones this time.  

I love how much you get! That whole bowl is just one serving.  These tasted a lot like the Honey Almond Cookies, which is a good thing! Light, crunchy, and sweet.  I bet these would be good as cereal.  Pour a little almond milk on top and you got yourself one tasty breakfast!

Last but not least were the Cinnamon Toast Pretzels.  I was pretty excited for these because I love pretzels and I love cinnamon.  I decided to get a little crazy and try these with some peanut butter. 

What an amazing snack! 

I could really taste the cinnamon and honey! These are crunchier than a normal pretzel too.

They were really good for dipping.  I bet they would be great with cream cheese too! Would absolutely buy these again! 

I enjoyed another bag of the Honey Almond Cookie Bites while working on my blog. 

Two of my favorite things...blogging and snacking! 

 These snacks will be making a frequent appearance in my work bag.  

Ya never know when hunger is going to strike! Always prepared! 

 I highly recommend Kay's Naturals products to anyone looking for a tasty and healthy snack.  

They also have cereal and snack mixes! I have seen some products in local grocery stores.  Use their store locator to see if they are sold near you.  You can always just order online.

Vitalicious

I love breakfast foods...bagels, pancakes, waffles, eggs, and muffins! Some may disagree, but I strongly believe that you can enjoy these foods at any time of the day! Pancakes for lunch? Yes! Eggs for dinner? You bet!

Given my love for breakfast type foods, you can only imagine my excitement when a big box of VitaTops arrived at my door!

VitaTops are just one of the many products that Vitalicious carries.  They also have regular muffins, cakes, brownies, mixes, pizzas, and sandwiches.

In case you haven't heard of VitaTops before, they are like muffins, but only the tops! Duh, the best part of the muffin! Genius!  They sent me all kinds of goodies to try and review.  Good thing I was hungry!

I got to try 4 flavors of VitaTops and 2 flavors of the mini VitaCakes.  

I was already in love with these treats because they come in a box that says "store in freezer".  Why does that excite me? Well, I hate when I buy baked goods like muffins or cakes from a store and they go bad so quickly.  

These are all packaged individually so you can just take one or two out of the freezer when you want! The rest will keep frozen and fresh for a very long time.

You can let them thaw by sitting out, microwave for a few seconds, or toast them!

Toasted muffin tops! So good!

The Wild Blueberry was one of my favorites.  I loved all the blueberries and crumbles on top!

I ate this one after just letting it thaw on the counter for a bit.  So soft and such a great flavor!

Calling all chocolate lovers! Deep Chocolate! That's right, not dark chocolate or double chocolate, but Deep Chocolate!

This was basically like eating a chocolate chip brownie! Except this brownie is only 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 26 grams of carb, and 4 grams of protein.  Plus, all Vitalicious products are Kosher certified and all natural with no artificial additives or preservatives.

Speaking of brownies...

These mini VitaCakes are basically like a soft chocolatey brownie but much better for you! They are only 50 calories a piece too! I definitely did not just have one! Fudgy Chocolate and Chocolate Rasberry. Yum!

They were both very tasty but I really liked the Fudgy Chocolate one. The raspberry one was very similar but with a nice fruity flavor too. 

So many chocolate chips packed into one cake! These are excellent warmed up in the microwave for a couple seconds.  I plan on putting a scoop of vanilla ice cream on one for dessert very soon! VitaCake al a mode! 

I was very excited to try the Chocolate Peanut Butter top! Just about anything containing peanut butter is going to get a thumbs up from me!

Two thumbs up! I also microwaved this one and the peanut butter chips got all melty...It was so soft and chocolatey and simply delicious! 

Last but not least was a good old Chocolate Chip top.  You really can't go wrong with such a classic flavor.  Especially when you put that many chocolate chips in something!

This was really good toasted!! I just love the convenience of these too! 

Having them be packaged individually makes them perfect for tossing in my lunchbox. I have mentioned before that I always pack my food for work.  In case you were wondering, I am a nanny :) Notice my Tinkerbell tuperware...

I love that I can take them right out the freezer, toss them in my lunchbox, and they are thawed and ready to eat when I get hungry! Only one problem...the kiddos see me eating them and want some for themselves! Can you blame them?? Now I know to always pack extra!

I also always take snacks with me when I am going on a road trip.  Short or long, I never leave the house without a snack! You just never know when hunger will strike.

Take a VitaTop that may still be slightly frozen, place it on the dash in the sun, and you have yourself a warm and healthy snack in no time!

Clearly these are great just out of wrapper, microwaved, and toasted...but there is much more you can do with them!!  I have confessed to my peanut butter obsession in the past...

Uh yea...this was heavenly...

Chocolate Peanut Butter VitaTop, slightly warmed, with a big glob of peanut butter!

Awesome snack, breakfast, or dessert! 

I also have a slight obsession with cream cheese.  I put that stuff on everything! I knew it was going to be fantastic with the Wild Blueberry VitaTops!

I love being right! Kinda like a bagel, but much better!! Most bagels will run you about 350 calories...both of these VitaTops are only 200 calories! Add a little fat free cream cheese and you got yourself one tasty breakfast for only about 250 calories! 

I cannot say what my favorite flavor is because there are still so many more I need to try!! These were all amazing but the VitaTops also come in flavors like Banana Chocolate Chip, Carrot Cake,  Triple Chocolate Chunk, Mint Chocolate Chip, Apple Crumb, Golden Corn, Banana Nut, Blue Bran, Cran Bran, Deep Chocolate Pomegrante, and even Sugar Free Velvety Chocolate!!

Now you see why I cannot choose a favorite just yet!

I definitely plan on doing some more taste testing in the future! I think Carrot Cake and Apple Crumb are calling my name...

Many grocery stores sell Vitalicous products in the freezer section.  You won't get all the variety though so I suggest checking out the Vitalicious site and ordering some online!

Somersault Snack Co.

One of the many reason why I love blogging is that I get the opportunity to try and review some really awesome products! I recently got a very generous box of goodies from Somersault Snack Co. 

I have done quite a few product reviews, and this is the first company to include such a nice note! Love the fun and bright packaging too!! 

Somersault Snack's most important ingredient is sunflower seeds, which I love!! It is a great alternative to nuts and who doesn't love a pretty sunflower??

I got so many snacks to try! I had no idea they had so many fun flavors! I couldn't wait to try everything.  

I love the different sized bags too.  Big bags for people who like to share.  Medium bags perfect for on the go.  Little single serving bags great for tasting!

I decided to try the pacific sea salt flavor first.  With so many choices, I decided it was best to start with the simplest ones.  

Perfect little bite sized pieces! Anyone who knows me will tell you that I really enjoy tiny things.  They are just more fun and it always seems like you are getting more.

These were very tasty! Salty and crunchy.  I could really taste the sunflower seeds in these!

Dutch cocoa! Yes please! Anything chocolate is usually a winner in my opinion.

Loved the flavor of these chocolatey nuggets! They had just the right amount of sweetness.  They just kind of melt in your mouth after you crunch into them!

I was a little hesitant about the santa fe salsa...I do NOT like spicy stuff so I was worried they would be too hot for me! I had my husband be the guinea pig with these...

After he assured me that they were not spicy, I popped one in my mouth.  So good!! A teeny tiny bit of a bite, but if I can handle it, anyone can! They reminded me of BBQ chips, which are probably my favorite flavor chip.  Of course these are way better for you than any potato chip!

During my own personal tasting party, I decided to bust out some little portion cups.  Just more fun this way! Also, made me think how perfect these would be for an actual party or get together!!

Next up were the cinnamon crunch bites.  I absolutely love cinnamon so I was quite sure these were going to get a thumbs up.  Let's make that two thumbs up! These are probably my favorite out of all the flavors.  Sweet, crunchy, and simply delicious!

The only bad thing about so many great flavors is that I don't know which ones to put in my lunch for tomorrow!!

Luckily there is room for a couple bags! Chances are I will end up eating both of them!!

The only flavor left to try was the salty pepper.  I saved this for last because I was pretty sure I wasn't really going to like it.  I actually really dislike pepper...I never cook with it or put it on my food...I wanted to be sure I did a really good review so I tried them anyway.

Surprisingly, I didn't run for a napkin!! Ha, they were not overly peppery by any means.  Not my top choice, but still had a great flavor and crunch.  If you like pepper even a little bit, I am sure you will love these :)

So there ya have it!! All five flavors, taste tested and approved!! I absolutely love finding new, tasty, and healthy snacks.  These definitely meet my criteria! 

The nutritional facts vary a bit depending on the flavor.  The pacific sea salt ones are 150 calories per servings.  8g fat, 14g carb, and 6g protein.  

These yummy morsels have more antioxidants than blueberries, more protein than almonds, and more fiber than an apple! Talk about a great snack!!

I almost forgot to mention what else they sent!

I don't know if they are psychic or what, but somehow they knew about my little chapstick addiction!! This is some high quality stuff! I am very picky about what I put on my lips!

It is really hard not to smile when someone is taking a picture of you using chapstick...and really hard to put on chapstick when you are smiling...

Chapstick problems...

I really recommend trying some of these amazing snacks! I have seen them in many local grocery stores which is always great! If you can't find them near you, just order some online.  Best part is, they have 100% satisfaction guarantee! Try it and if you don't like it, they will replace it for something else or simply give you a refund.  What have you got to lose?! Nothing, nothing is the answer!!
