My Thoughts:


These wonderful little snacks make a great treat in between meals. They are also perfect to bring along with your lunch. Moms: This is also a great choice for kids’ lunches at school.
These small boxed snacks are also fantastic to bring to work with you, if you’d like to avoid being tempted by the vending machine. A healthy snack isn’t something you’ll regret.

The hummus dip and multigrain pita chips contained eight grams of protein, so it helped satiate me before lunchtime. I adore hummus! So, I also loved the red pepper hummus and multigrain crackers, although this snack provided only five grams of protein. Kids will most likely enjoy the creamy herb dip and multigrain pita chips. The dip had the consistency of sour cream, which was nice. This snack had eight grams of protein; I prefer a snack that has enough protein, especially since I am a vegetarian. These snacks are both vegan and kosher.

The only thing I didn’t like was that the package seemed a bit much; a small bag of chips and a small container of dip came in a box that felt like excessive packaging. I also would’ve liked a few more chips in the bags.

Regardless, each snack was delectable, and made for a perfect interlude between meals.
