I have been making a real effort to provide healthier snack options for my two young daughters. Traditional snacks that target today’s youth are not always healthy. I always have fruits, veggies, string cheese, etc. readily available to them. However, sometimes they just wanted that crunch that only a chip or cracker can give. They were turning to chips and crackers that were loaded with ingredients that you can’t pronounce, deep fried, and had an absurd amount of calories and sodium. I had reached my limit; I couldn’t sit back and watch them snack on these unhealthy products. I cleaned out our pantry and told them that I would replace them with better snacks. The first products I wanted them to try were Mediterranean Snacks.
For our review, we received Mediterranean Snacks Rosemary Herb Lentil Crackers, Garlic Parmesan Lentil Chips and Sea Salt Lentil Chips.
Mediterranean Snacks are loaded with protein, iron, fiber and vitamin B1. They have been baked, NOT, fried. They are trans-fat free, certified gluten-free, low in calories and I can pronounce all the ingredients!
Lentil Crackers have a wonderfully authentic rosemary flavor. They have a nice light airy texture and big crunch. They are delicious!
Lentil Chips are made with lentils, garbanzo and adzuki beans. They have a different texture that I was expecting; it’s almost like they have small air pockets. I liked these with my homemade black bean hummus.
Mediterranean Snacks are great right out of the bag or served with your favorite topping and dip. They have also been kid-approved.
Mediterranean Snacks are on facebook and twitter.
One lucky winner is going to receive a Mediterranean Snacks prize pack. This is a US giveaway that will end on 03/28/3013.
Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.

Hi Emmy,
I just have to say how cute your hedgehog is.Oh my gosh! I remember when I was little I saw one at a museum and I always thought it would be so cool to have one as a pet. Of course my mom didn’t feel the same way.Lol! It’s so cute 🙂-

Haha, thanks. I love having him as a pet now but they aren’t really the best pet for kids seems how they aren’t furry/cuddly kids are usually nervous to handle them and then the hedgehog picks up on that and keeps its quills up. My sister is 9.5 and she isn’t yet mature enough to relax enough to handle him calmly so that he remains calm.
