Have you noticed the uptick in companies finally offering more options for those who follow a vegetarian or full plant-based diet? I've only been a vegetarian for 3 years, but I can tell you how frustrating it has been trying to find high-quality foods and snacks that cater to my needs. I know I'm not alone because I've recently been hearing more and more about how brands are taking note of the growing need for for more vegetarians and vegan options. This is exciting to me knowing that with growing demand, there's going to be more yummy and healthy options hitting the store shelves soon.
I am a snacker, so having more good-for-you products stocked in the house is important to me. I also like it when I find a brand I enjoy snacking on has single-serve options so I can take my snacks with me when I'm on-the-go.
Spinning Wheel Brands, parent company of Hope & Sesame, Mozaics and Handfulls has been a new favorite of mine this past month. Not only do they offer high-quality, healthy snacking offerings, they are all gluten-free, certified organic, vegetarian with vegan options. Even better is that many of their products can be purchased in packages that offer single servings of your favorite snacks, so snacking healthy while out and about is no longer an issue for me.
My daughter's boyfriend spends most of his free time here, and since he's a wrestler, boxer, and about to be leaving for basic training later this month, he's very conscientious about what foods he consumes to nourish his body. When I opened up my shipment of goodies from Spinning Wheel Brands, he gasped and said, "Organic snacks with dairy-free milk!?" Yep, he was excited! While the snacks were something he couldn't wait to try, he was itching to dig into Hope & Sesame Chocolate Lovers Non-Dairy Sesamemilk. Since he's lactose intolerant, he hasn't been able to indulge in his love of chocolatey milks for years, so he made sure to stake his claim to the carton as soon as I took it out of the box.
Chocolate flavors of Hope & Sesame non-dairy sesamemilk are loaded with protein, but only 1/2 the calories of dairy chocolate milks, and since it won't upset the tummy of those who suffer from a lactose intolerance, it's one that I'll be sure to keep stocked in the fridge at all times.
We all know that nuts are a great thing to snack on, but let's admit it, they can get boring after a bit. However, Handfulls takes nuts to the next level with their 6 unexpected CrrrunchBites flavor twists, like Chili Lime, BBQ, Honey Mustard, Nacho Ranch, Sea Salt and Nacho.
I do get a hankering for potato chips, but now I can get my fix without the unhealthy bits mixed in when I reach for Mozaics. The Organic Popped Veggie & Potato Chips are made with simple, clean ingredients that you can see in every bite-sized triangle.
I'm glad that Spinning Wheel Brands are catering to more health-conscious consumers. Either at home or on-the-go, I am stoked that I have such amazing snacks to tuck into when I need something to nibble on.
You can learn more about all of these Spinning Wheel Brands and purchase your favorites right on Deliciousness or Amazon.
Which of these Spinning Wheel Brands snacks would you like to try first?
I want to try all of these plant based snacks. It's so hard to find organic vegan snack options and I'm a snacker that wants my snacks to be good and better for me.
ReplyDeleteI think there are many of us out there who would like healthier snacking options!
DeleteI've never heard of any of these products but I am all for trying something new. They all look like great snacks and I like ones that I can grab and go.
ReplyDeleteSo many great grab-and-go options with Spinning Wheel! I hope you check them out!
DeleteSuch gorgeous bag, dahlink, and are those bambies on your dress? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks dahlink :) It was Allison's bag. Had to use it since I don't have a cross body bag of my own. Yep those are little bambies on my dress. Allison told me it was ugly, but I don't care. I like it.
DeleteIt is not that it isn't ugly :)) but it is cute fugly, the cuteness that justifies the general fugliness LOL
DeleteIt's definitely cute fugly, but that's what appealed to me about. Allison was like "there's just too much going on with all that contrasting print!" Then again, she says all my clothes are ugly (even though she steals half of them) so what does she know? ;P
DeleteOh cool! Having some snacks like these around the house would be great. I like the sound of the flavored almonds a lot!
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm wondering where these flavored almonds have been all my life now!
DeleteSounds like it was a hit all around. Nuts? Boring? Bah, when they are all you can eat, beats nadda. Although yeah, almonds can bore. Those ones look better. As far as companies jumping on the bandwagon, of course, they see the $$$ signs. But hey, at least there are more options now.
ReplyDeleteI'd be more than willing to throw my $$$ at companies who produce high-quality, healthy, and great tasting products. So, you eat almond chicken a lot then?
DeleteThese sound pretty tasty! I might have to pick some up. My kids are forever snacking during summer break.
ReplyDeleteGirl, yours and mine both!
Deletelooks good
ReplyDeleteFinding good and good for you snacks can be a challenge. These look like they are definitely worth trying! Thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteThose chili lime almonds sound so good to me right now!! I need to find these somewhere local!!
ReplyDeleteThose are interesting, lovely bag btw:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalia!
DeleteI would totally eat those chili lime almonds. I didn't know they made sesame milk, that's a new one for me!
ReplyDeleteI didn't either, but boy am I hooked now!
DeleteI have not heard of these but those chili lime almonds sound amazing and I don't even like almonds that much. (Rena)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. These look like so much fun to try. I especially want some chili lime almonds in my life. :)
ReplyDeleteWe love to snack over here and since I love almonds, I'm going to try the chili lime almonds first. Looks yummy!
ReplyDelete-LYNNDEE
Chili lime almonds sound really good.
ReplyDeleteThey are! If you like your almonds to have a nice kick to them, try these!
DeleteI've never tried any of those before. They look really good though. I'd love to look for them and give them a try.
ReplyDeleteWow! These snacks look sooo yummy! Can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteThese look like great snacks. I'll have to check them out
ReplyDeleteThese look really good. For too long, I didn't pay attention to what I was eating, and now I'm trying to read labels and be mindful about what I eat so I can be healther.
ReplyDeleteThis does look like a great stash of snacks. We have a nut jar instead of a cookie jar. The boys are always hungry, so I point them that direction.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! It looks like a snack for the go.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to find things that are delicious and feel decadent sometimes, that meet various dietary restrictions or choices. These sound good. I'd like to try the snack pack olives!
ReplyDeleteI thought the Bambis on your dress were really cute, Theresa! I'm always looking for healthy snacks. We have at least 10 kinds of nuts in our cupboards. A new selection of yummy treats would be most welcome. I'm going to keep my eyes open for the Spinning Wheel Brands.
ReplyDeleteThe Chilli Lime Almonds sound interesting in particular. Going to order some right away.
ReplyDeleteChilli Lime Almonds ftw!! Aww it's nice to see how you welcome your girls' bf to your home :) I'm not sure how I'd feel the day Lil Pumpkin tells us she's attached!
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
We aren't thrilled about it, but I'd much rather welcome him into our home so I can keep a close eye on them than to let her wander off with him where I have no idea what's going on ;)
