Last week I had been to my child’s school for PTM. There was a huge queue for uniforms and books collection. I was tired due to the queue and we reached home pretty late than we had expected. When I reached home, there was a cute surprise. There was a box of healthy snacks named Snalthy. There were 12 different packets for me to try. I was so happy to receive them as I got to snack on it instantly. Since I am health conscious, I do mind what I eat.
First impression was that these snacks are packed in individually in yellow coloured single serving packs. I glanced through the ingredient list and was happy to see that it did not contain refined sugar, refined oil, refined flour, hydrogenated fat, baking powder, baking soda, emulsifiers, artificial colours or artificial flavors. Most of them are made with whole wheat flour. They are not deep fried too. The ingredients are sourced from local farmers in Coimbatore and then they are roasted, toasted, baked and seasoned to perfection.
This initiative of #SnackMadeHealthy was started by 3 friends Arun Kamaraj, Aswanikumar, and Anbu Chelvan who one day realized the negative impact certain snacks on their health. Most snacks loose nutrients when they are deep fried and loaded with preservatives.
This was the first time that I handed over some packets to my kid. Why to give her unhealthy food when I have a healthier alternative? The Snalthy snacks are sold online at www.snalthy.com and they are delivered free anywhere in India. You can shop by selecting the flavors, price, and whether you need for entire family or just for kids. They also have an option for selecting with egg or without egg. By the way, you can compare two items too.
They have special packages for all age groups from kids to teenagers to senior citizens. Yes senior citizens as they provide snacks for diabetic too. Snalthy is an initiative for healthy snacking habit. You can munch these guilt free munchies at any time of the day even between your meals.
My favorite out of the entire 12 was the Mexican chips. These were spicy but yummy and crispy. The Choco almond cookies are good too. It had the fusion of cocoa with watermelon seeds which made a rich and real taste of cookies.

The sesame raisin bars were just ultimate. Small square bite sized bars made with dates, raisins and a shower of sesame looked like a clear winner..

The bite sized whole wheat mixed seed rusk was something I saw for the first time. They were crispy and perfect to have at tea time. A bread slice baked until dry, crisp and golden brown and has inter fusion of pumpkin, flax and watermelon seeds to give a break time rusky feast. I expected a lot from garlic bread sticks, but felt bit on the other side as the taste of garlic was mild.

Thanks Snalthy for coming up with such a healthy snack. I feel that these are good to carry while travelling especially by air.
