My Thoughts

I try my best to keep my family as active as possible. Both of my children are  involved in sports and their TV and video game time is limited to an hour a day. But it's also important to watch what they eat.  It isn't easy to find fun snack foods that are good for them and that they are actually willing to eat. That's why I was really happy to try out a few of the delicious varieties of crackers and chips from Crunchmaster.  These crispy snacks are gluten free, cholesterol free and saturated fat free.  They are also a good source of fiber and made using whole grains. The best part of all is that they taste just as good as any other snacks.




We received a few varieties of Crunchmaster to try out. I personally LOVED the  Multi-Seed Crackers.  They are so tasty, you don't really need to put anything on them, but they are the perfect compliment to any cheese or meats.  I thought they were better than most of the popular name brands crackers. They are light and crunchy and not greasy at all.  The  Sea Salt were tasty too. They are lightly salted and nice and crispy. They  both have lots of flavor, and don't taste like card board like most gluten free products. Ky kids never have guessed they were a healthier alternative to regular crackers, but I know the difference, and even if they cost a little bit more, they are definitely worth it because they are so much healthier for my family.
