Smarty-PANTRIES Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters Perfect Healthy Snack

So, speaking of disclosing when we get products for free…

We joined a service called MyBlogSpark.com, which sends bloggers new products so that we can review them and let our readers know what we think. So, as always, just want to let y’all know we got this product for free. I mean, you know the drill at this point, it’s the lawyer in us beating the disclosure over the head.And we don’t have to write about the products but I thought my girls can always use a healthy snack idea!

We’re going to try and keep our reviews concise and to the point from now on so here goes nothing…

These nut clusters are a yummy alternative to snacking on plain ol’ granola, which is usually low in protein. Here because of the nuts you get 4g of protein per serving (4.5 servings in a bag). They’re salty and sweet at the same time. Our fave one was the cashews, but go figure that’s one of our fave nuts.

As we’ve said in the past, we’ve been trying to eat less sugar after reading Anti-Cancer. These are surprisingly low in sugar (~8g per serving), which is less than like a sugary kid cereal (which can run at around ~14g/serving). I don’t know if I’d categorize these as a breakfast food, more of like a much healthier alternative to a cookie but something that’ll satisfy your sweet-tooth.

And the Jury says: I’d definitely purchase these on my own. They’re a good thing to keep at your desk when you feel like raiding the office candy bowl. As we’ve mentioned, it’s not good to eat candy between meals because the sugar levels spike your insulin (the perfect environ for cancer to flourish) so we think these are definitely a better alternative. I mean what do we know? We’re not doctors (remember that! but we do take health seriously!)
