If you haven’t read my reviews before, let me fill you in on a little secret….I am a snack addict! I always have been and always will be.

Here’s a closer look at the snacks we received in our August box….

Wasabi Me
Wasabi can be dangerous if mistaken for guacamole. Who hasn’t done that before, right?! Which is why we’ve lightly coated our crunchy peas with wasabi to give you just the right amount of heat in your snack. With both salt and spice, this is a big personality snack for big personality snackers. Wasabi-me isn’t all party though. Its substance includes high protein, high fibre, and nutrient levels to help you relax throughout your day.

Ingredients: Wild rice sticks (unbleached wheat flour, expeller pressed canola oil, puffed wild rice, salt, turmeric, sesame seeds), spicy wasabi peas (green peas, corn starch, wheat flour, rice flour, sugar, palm oil, sea salt, wasabi mustard powder), roasted salted peas

Naked Snacks has a couple of snack mixes featuring the wonderful flavour of wasabi and I love them both. It’s not for everyone but I am a HUGE fan. I also happen to love rice sticks so this is the perfect snack mix for me. I lean towards the salty snacks as opposed to the sweet and this one is at the top of my list.

Wholesome Yogi

Invite good karma into your day with Wholesome Yogi. This mix of heart healthy nuts is well balanced with nutritious pumpkin seeds, flavour-filled cranberries, and topped with Greek yogurt chips to help support healthy digestion. Remember to breathe and enjoy one of the most nutritionally beneficial snacks we offer. Wholesome Yogi will leave you feeling like you’ve just woken from a long, deep savasana. Namaste!

Ingredients: Raw almonds, roasted cashews, pumpkin seeds, yogurt chips (sugar, palm kernel oil, nonfat dry milk, yogurt powder, lactic acid, soy lecithin, and natural flavour), dried cranberries (cranberries, cane sugar, sunflower oil)

Trail mix is a snack lovers dream. It has all the things….salty, sweet, crunchy, and chewy. I like that this one is made with yogurt chips and dried cranberries…..and pumpkin seeds….we can’t forget about the pumpkin seeds. It’s a nice change from regular trail mix. A healthier version if you will.

Maple Praline Almonds

Maple Praline Almonds are our salute to the Great White North. Thanks for being awesome, Canada! We use the finest maple syrup from Quebec and mix in some praline deliciousness. The two go together like flannel and lumberjacks. These crunchy nuggets are artisanally crafted in small batches using superior grade California almonds. It’s not all indulgence though, almonds also help to build and maintain strong bones. Strong bones for everyone!

Ingredients: Dry roasted almonds, cane sugar, maple syrup, natural flavour (may contain other tree nuts, soy, wheat and sesame)

Here we have a snack I will reach for when I am craving something sweet. These praline almonds look/sound like a treat to me. Something to savour and indulge in sparingly. Maybe a small handful with your mid-morning coffee or afternoon tea?

Orchard Apple Rings
Snack time can often get messy. Our Orchard Apple Rings are the perfectly packaged snack food with no sticky texture, or badly behaved nuts to worry about. Fresh from the orchard, these rings have a soft and comforting chew. This can be a nice change from some of our more crunchy snacks. Apple’s are rich in vitamin B, C and antioxidants, and the pectin helps to reduce bad cholesterol. It really is true what they say, an apple a day!

Ingredients: 100% sun-dried apple rings. no sweeteners or sulphites added.

This next snack is the perfect road trip snack. It’s also a great snack for littles ones. This is something I will be ordering on a regular basis once Steven is a little older. And I refer to them as the perfect road trip snack because they aren’t sticky, aren’t messy and there’s no little bits and pieces that will get lost down the back of the seat or on the floor.

Hearty Tamari

Hearty Tamari is one of our most popular savoury snacks. This is a fantastic healthy alternative to those no-good potato chips. Instead of empty calories, Hearty Tamari will leave you feeling happy and satiated. Sesame sticks and spicy pretzels mix with almonds and cashews, all lovingly slow-roasted in delicious tamari. This exotic taste from Japan confirms what we already knew – for good times, make them Tamari times.

Ingredients: Dry roasted almonds, Dry roasted cashews, Sugars (pretzel sticks (enriched wheat flour, salt, corn syrup, yeast)), Oat bran sesame sticks (enriched wheat flour, soybean oil, sesame seeds, oat bran, bulgur wheat, salt, beet powder, turmeric), Tamari sauce (soybeans, wheat, sea salt), Canola oil, Powders of garlic and onion, Spices

This is my all-time favorite snack mix from Naked Snacks and Its it says in the product description, one of the most popular on their site. I’ve had this many times before and have even purchased it from the local grocery store – yes, you can find Naked Snacks at retail locations. If you are craving something savoury and salty….this is the prefect alternative to chips.

Naked Snacks Review August 2020 – Final Thoughts

I already told you how much I love Naked Snacks so no need to revisit those details here. But what I will say is that I am so excited to be reviewing this subscription again. It’s a simple subscription…..a box full of snacks….but given the current situation I feel like it’s a must-have for families, those of us who are limiting trips to the grocery store, snack lovers, etc….

We order a majority of our necessities online now that we are social distancing but even if we weren’t I would still recommend Naked Snacks. Because….well….you get snacks delivered to your door each month. What’s not to love?!
