Nowadays there is a trend to eat healthy food. People eat healthy food for a number of reasons. Have you ever tried avoiding the mid-meal hunger pangs? Have you ever returned home hungry from your office and wondered what snack to have? Did you feel you were too tired to cook in the evenings specially after returning from office and wanted to simply munch something?
For instance, it happened with my hubby today. He was too hungry in the evening. I offered the Almond Prune Granola Bar and in few minutes he felt full. He was grateful that I had something healthy with me. Thanks to Snackosaur, now we can snack guilt-free at any time of the day.
I received a trial snack box from Snackosaur for a review. The box was a normal cardboard box filled with the following products:
1) Almond Prune Oat Granola Bar: My hubby felt full after eating this and you too can expect the same. I tasted it along with my hubby as I had only one Granola Bar. It was mind-blowing and delicious. It is made of natural ingredients such as oats, nuts, prunes and flax seeds which are full of dietary fibres. These are specially crafted by a chef trained from the French Culinary Institute in New York. No doubt about it!
2) Salted Broadbeans: These are high in protein and fiber. It is good for the immune system as it is rich of antioxidants and iron. These help in maintaining the blood pressure as it contains phosphorous, magnesium and potassium. These are good for bones and teeth and also contain Vitamin A and C which are required for good vision, skin, growth and bone development. The salt was just perfect for these salted broadbeans. My only concern was that it is fried in Palm Oil and a packet of 40g contributed to 8g of total fat with 3g of saturated fat and 0g trans fat. But this can be ignored after considering all the health benefits.
3) Dried Fruit mix: Sometimes we get sweet cravings and want to avoid sweets and chocolates. I get sweet cravings everyday after lunch and I go get a chocolate. I found this dry fruit mix to be a healthy alternative to chocolates and sweets to satisfy those cravings. It is made up of dehydrated and dried papaya, pineapple and mango. Kids will surely love this. Forget kids, I myself fell in love with this. This can be added to your cereal breakfast in the morning.
4) Roasted Edamame: This snack is rarely available in India. It has been imported by Snackosaur to introduce us to the huge range of benefits. Edamame is considered a store house of nutrients and many people across the world add this to their diet as it is rich in fiber,protein and antioxidants. It contains essential minerals and are beneficial to healthy bones, cleansing the system of toxins and boosting immunity. Half a cup of Edamame has 28 gms of protein, having almost equivalent amount of protein as meat, but also containing the fiber of whole grain. This gluten free snack can be munched at anytime of the day or it can be added to salads to make them crunchy. I loved making chat with Edamame by adding tomatoes, onions, coriander, lemon and salt.
5) Spicy Cocktail nuts: This packet contained tangy, spicy and tasty mix of cashewnuts, almonds, peanuts and pistachios. Being rich in essential nutrients, this is a great snack to munch at anytime of the day! I liked the tangy taste of the nuts.
Overall I loved the snackbox. Snackosaur also has monthly boxes which are designed to last one person one full month and which contains bigger packets of these snacks. You can even choose to subscribe for longer periods and they will deliver it to your doorstep every month. They also contain Garlic Chanas(sounds yummy), soya sesame sticks, sunflower seeds and Party snack mi. These boxes also serve as a great gift for special occasions like Diwali or New Year.
