***GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED***
Congratulations to:
#136 Ladytink_534
I have a new favorite snack……crunchy with a bit of salt. Best of all, it’s one that I can share with my young daughter and not worry about what I’ve just fed her. That’s HUGE as a mom. The snack……Garden Veggie Straws by Sensible Portions. With real veggies inside and less fat than traditional potato chips or snacks, this is one I’ll be looking for during my next grocery store trip.
Thanks to Sensible Portions, I was able to actually test out many of their products in their deli size/single-serve packages. What’s impressive is that the company is focused on a healthy lifestyle and one of the ways they promote that is through portion sizes….hence the name Sensible Portions.
I had never tried their products before, so I really enjoyed the opportunity to try different kinds of snacks. Everyone in my family had their favorites…..for me it was the Garden Veggie Straws, for my husband it was the Miner’s Gold White Cheddar Puffs, and my daughter…..well, she didn’t turn down a single snack (rare treat for her), but I think her favorite was the Cinnamon Apple Straws. You’ll find they offer a variety of snacks, including ones with soy products and multi-grains:
- Pita Bites
- Veggie Straws & Chips
- Potato Straws
- Apple Straws
- Cheating w/Chocolate (so sad this wasn’t in my pkg LOL)
- Multi-Grain Crisps
- Veggie Crisps
- Multi-Grain Mini-Crisps
- 8 Grain Crisps
- Pita Chips
- Miner’s Gold
I do enjoy having some savory and salty goodies in the house from time to time, and it’s nice to know there are options that are a bit healthier than some of the traditional snacks. While affordable, I’ll have to convince Sensible Portions to put a printable coupon on their website for us frugal moms! We love coupons!
WHERE TO BUY: While you can find the products at many grocery and chain stores, including Kroger, Albertsons, Whole Foods Market, BJ’s, Sam’s Club and more….you can order them on the Sensible Portions website and even find them On Amazon
Summer Sale: If you visit their site, you’ll find a Summer Sale…..saving 30%!
GIVEAWAY:
One (1) winner will win an assortment of the new Sensible Portions products….. including Veggie Straws, Apple Straws, Miners Gold, Potato Straws and Pita Bites etc.
