Win Seasoned Nuts from Sahale Snacks

I love to snack during the evening while I'm watching television with my husband. I love all of the different tastes available from chips but I don't like the fat, artificial ingredients and cholesterol that go along with eating some traditional snacks.


That doesn't mean that I want to sit down with a bag of carrots or rice cakes either. I want to indulge my snack cravings not feel like I'm stuck eating bland, boring foods all the time. I want to enjoy all the yummy goodness of traditional snacks without any of the bad stuff that goes along with it! What's a health conscious girl to do?

Well who says indulgent can't be healthy? Sahale Snacks offers a line of seasoned nuts that will tempt your taste buds and satisfy your snack cravings! Now I've tried nuts in the past and they're OK as a snack but the traditional honey roasted flavor really didn't wow me. I want something bold that's going to grab hold of my taste buds and get my attention.


When I heard about the three new flavors offered by Sahale Snacks, I new I had to try them. The new line includes:

1. Barbeque Almonds with Mild Chipotle & Ranch - Whole almonds seasoned with a proprietary "dry rub" spice blend, accented with tangy buttermilk ranch, then slow roasted to a smoky, spice-sweet perfection.

2. Southwest Cashews with Child & Cheddar - Whole cashews topped with a dusting of grated Cheddar and Jack cheeses and blended with Poblana and Guajillo peppers, then slow roasted, for a spicy, crunch snack.

3. Tuscan Almonds with Parmesan & Herbs - Whole almonds coated with a blend of Tuscan herbs, grated Parmesan cheese and sun dried tomatoes.

These are a great substitution for chips and other salty snacks! Nuts have more nutrition and also provide a good source of fiber, protein and beneficial poly- and mono-unsaturated fats. Almonds and cashews also contain antioxidants and Vitamin E. They're all natural and cholesterol free and contain no trans fats.


The first nut I sampled was the Tuscan Almonds with Parmesan & Herbs. I'm a huge fan of parmesan cheese and I knew when I first placed this snack on my tongue that I was in for a treat. The mix of Tuscan herbs, sun dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese was amazing. I was convinced that I just bit into a slice of pizza although I knew these were nuts I was enjoying. If you're craving pizza, you need these nuts!

Since barbeque potato chips are one of my weaknesses, I knew the next on my list to sample was the Barbeque Almonds with Mild Chipotle & Ranch. When I first tasted the almond, the sweet barbeque flavor was the first thing I noticed. However just a second later, the heat from the chipotle came through. The ranch flavor drew the two tastes together into one amazing package. These are definitely the nut to choose when you're craving a barbeque taste!

The last package, I admit I looked at for a while and contemplated. I don't do super hot foods. I choose mild all the way and the word *chili* on the front of the bag had me worried.  I gave this one to Marty with instructions to let me know how hot they were.  He took one, popped it in his mouth & declared it was *not hot at all*.  Reassured by his words, I grabbed two and started chewing. He lied.  These are definitely hot. Not fire shooting from your ears hot but definitely hotter than mild. He still insists these aren't hot although now he's giggling at me so grab this one when you're craving something with a kick.

Sahale Snacks can be purchased at a variety of grocery and specialty stores.  Two ounce bags of the BBQ Almonds are also available at Starbucks. You can purchase all three varieties at Amazon.
