Looking for a #Healthy Snack? @HarvestSnaps has got you covered!

With the advent of the Holiday Season upon us there are going to be a million ways to blow your diet. Holiday Parties with their array of tempting treats, and not let's not even begin to discuss the amount of average calories consumed on Thanksgiving Day. (Although with Black Friday starting earlier and earlier at many retailers you may get to burn quite a few calories pushing and shoving your way in the door for those great deals and bargains!)

If you are looking for a few healthy snack alternatives to have on hand (and at this time of the year who isn't?) I would highly recommend Harvest Snaps. I have to tell you they are the weirdest 'snack idea' you'll forever love. I found myself super skeptical about trying these, but one bite definitely turned my idea of normal late night 'salty snacking' on it's head!

I write best late at night when the world is asleep and all is quiet (well as quiet as City living can be anyway), and I invariably end up craving a late night snack when I'm up late trying to meet deadlines, let's face it, any eating after midnight is pretty much bad eating, so finding a way to minimize the damage to my waistline and keep the cravings at bay in a healthy way is something I'm all for!

Here is what I tried:

Harvest Snaps, SNAPEA CRISPS, Green Pea Crisps, Baked, Healthy Snack, Lightly Salted

Harvest Snaps, SNAPEA CRISPS, Green Pea Crisps, Baked, Healthy Snack, Caesar

Harvest Snaps, SNAPEA CRISPS, Green Pea Crisps, Baked, Healthy Snack, Onion Thyme

Harvest Snaps, SNAPEA CRISPS, Green Pea Crisps, Baked, Healthy Snack, Tomato Basil


Harvest Snaps, SNAPEA CRISPS, Green Pea Crisps, Baked, Healthy Snack, Black Pepper

Harvest Snaps, SNAPEA CRISPS, Green Pea Crisps, Baked, Healthy Snack, Wasabi Ranch


Benefits:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Less Fat and less Sodium

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ – More Fiber

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ – Higher Levels of Protein and Vitamin B

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ – Gluten Free

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ – Lower Glycemic Index

My Take:

I enjoyed all of these with Wasabi Ranch, Black Pepper, and Tomato Basil being my stand out favorites of the bunch, but I truly did enjoy each variety. They satisfied my salty cravings and I found myself reaching for them first. Niece and Nephew Butterfly like them also, and had no idea they were 'good for you' snacks, they just thought they were good! These are perfect anytime, but I also tried them as a crunchy topping on a salad which I liked a lot! Post workout or just plain late night snack out the bag you won't be able to stop at just one!
