“I tried something new<\/a>” for a snack the other day: Pomegranate and vanilla glazed cashews with a pouch of Super Fruit Punch.<\/p>\n

\n\"#triedsomethingnew_red2\"<\/img><\/a> I love Honest brand bottled tea drinks. Besides making teas, Honest also has a line of organic, low-sugar, fruit-flavored drinks which are branded for Kids thus the name “Honest Kids<\/a>” and the pouch container, but I think they are awesome for adults too…especially for those of us who are trying to wean from sugar overload<\/a> and are addicted to sugary drinks. I just saw the word “organic” and I wanted to try it…yes, I am admittedly a sucker that way.<\/p>\n

One 6.75 fl oz pouch contains 10g of sugar and 40 calories. Now, the 10g of sugars is mostly added from fruit juices and cane sugar, which is still a bit on the high side, but, in general it is much lower than a can of soda which can be like 35g of sugar per can. And, the drinks are organic, so there is nothing artificial or chemically in there.<\/p>\n

I was at Costco with the folks and saw a case of the Honest Kids drinks with the flavors: Super Fruit Punch, Tropical Tango Punch, Goodness Grapeness, and Berry Berry Good Lemonade. All four drinks are good but my favorite is the Super Fruit Punch and Goodness Grapeness. I have enough Honest Kids to last me for months…because that’s what happens when you buy stuff at Costco for one person.<\/p>\n

Over at Starbucks, if you haven’t noticed, some of the stores are now carrying healthy snack options with brands that you’ll find at Whole Foods like these Sahale glazed cashews with pomegranate and vanilla<\/a>. You get some MUFA’s<\/a> and protein. I saw “pomegranate” and ding-ding-ding, I gotta try that.<\/p>\n

\n\"Sahalesnack.cashews\"<\/img><\/a>
In my book, if a brand can be sold in Whole Foods, it’s my kind of food mainly because I know it’s going to be free of artificial sweeteners, chemically sounding ingredients, food dyes, and most preservatives which typically don’t make my body feel good.<\/p>\n

The Sahale cashews were awesome but they do contain a good amount of calories. The snack size packaging looks small, but it is actually two servings not one, so I only ate half the bag one day, and the other half the next. One serving of the cashews is 150 calories.<\/p>\n

My snack did have a total of 16g of sugar, which is high for a snack, but it is much better than having a cookie, muffin, or some other baked good or candy I’d normally eat. Again, we are slowly weaning from sugar not going cold turkey, and this snack of cashews and punch was perfect for me.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it, a good snack for the kids and for the adults…who are sometimes just kids in bigger bodies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
