March 2019 Product Review Favorites Part 2 + SMASHMALLOW and GoMacro Giveaway
SMASHMALLOW Marshmallows and Marshmallow Crispy Treats
I can't remember if I've shared this or not but my husband is a total marshmallow addict. Sometimes for a treat, I buy him a bag of marshmallows and no joke, it is gone a day or two later. He loves eating them plain. I tried the SMASH Crispy Strawberries and Cream treats a month or so ago and just loved them for a sweet after-dinner dessert. At only 130 calories, they were portion controlled enough that I wasn't eating 10 of them like I do with homemade crispy treats and I loved the flavor.

Then, I looked up the brand and saw that they also sell flavored marshmallows and wanted to try the different kinds for my husband. He also loves cookie dough so we broke into those first and though I am not a plain marshmallow fan, I did love the flavor. My husband and kids really enjoyed them! They truly taste just like cookie dough. Wouldn't these make a fun s'mores treat? I'm thinking the mint chocolate chip would be awesome on a s'more. My kids really liked this flavor as well. These have simple ingredients and made a fun treat for the family.
GoMacro MacroBars
I'm loving the flavor of these sunny uplife GoMacro macrobars which is cherries and berries. These bars are vegan and gluten-free. They have pieces of dried cherries in them which is my favorite. GoMacro Cherries and Berries have 200 calorie each, 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 16 grams of sugar. The bars are chewy and tasty. I do wish that they had less sugar as brown rice syrup is the top ingredient.We also enjoyed the GoMacro Blissful Daybreak bars with blueberry and cashew butter. These were tasty as well with a mild cashew butter flavor. Each GoMacro Blissful Daybreak bar has 270 calories, 10 grams of protein, 11 grams sugar and 2 grams of fiber. I like that these have less sugar. My son loved both flavors and he is the bar lover in our house.
Manitou Trading Company Spices
I am totally obsessed with Manitou Trading Company spices. I first tried the truffle, parmesan and black garlic seasoning from a subscription kit and LOVED it. It is amazing on roasted broccoli with fresh lemon or any veggie really. I wanted to try more spice blends because sometimes, it can get boring making vegetables the same ways and I am always craving variety. I love the chipotle BBQ seasoning which we used on homemade breaded potato chip chicken for BBQ chicken strips. I like the everything bagel blend on my Easy Whole-Wheat Everything Bagels.
With grilling season coming super soon (woo hoo!!), I plan to use a lot of these spice blends for rubs on chicken and to sprinkle in foil packs of grilled veggies. I love how the label shows what country or state the blend is from. I love to cook food from different countries and think it is really fun cooking with all different kinds of spices.

For me, there is no real distinction between snack and meal. Lots of veggies all the time. Whole wheat and whole grain bagels are great. Hummus goes with everything. I should try to incorporate fruit, so in snack bar form. It would be easier.
ReplyDeleteFavorite veggies? Cucumbers and bell pepper slices with some hummus or even just simply pickled are good quick snacks.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite snack is nut butter and celery.
