Sahale Snacks Almonds Variety Pack, 1.5 Ounces (Pack of 12)

I've seen many studies mentioned on the news and social media that claim that nuts are healthy snacks. That's true but when you look at the details you learn a couple of things. First, it is a certain amount that are healthy. These individual packs are an easy way to control the amount of your snack. Second, the type of nut matters and almonds are always on those lists. Third, how the nuts are prepared and served matters and this is where these little packets start to be less healthy. Sure, the blue packs are just dry roasted so these are the best choice but the honey glazed tasted better to me. Almonds are something I like every now and again so these packs protect them for a long time so I can have them when I want them and not worry about them getting stale. The honey glaze make them taste better. I liked them but not as much s other Sahale Snack packs I've had before.

I liked that the Sahale Snacks Grab & Go Almonds package comes with both sweet and salty nuts. I choose depending on my mood. I loved the sweet honey roasted the best. The combination of Honey, Madagascar Vanilla and sweet coated raisins is to die for. I am glad that it is in an individual snack pack so I am not tempted to overindulge. I found the roasted and salted nuts just a little on the tough side. I deducted one star for the salty offering, but I am older so my chewing strength may not be what it once was. This is how I am perceiving the dry roasted as "harder". Good flavor just harder to chew.

I'm the only one in the family who actually likes nuts b/c we have an allergic one at home. So I will go out of my way to get a treat with some kind of nuts in it. I thought these individual packs of Almonds would be good for me to eat. My only issue is that they are very hard on my teeth. I worry about needing another bridge or wrecking the one I already have so I've decided to chop them smaller and these are the ones without the glaze. The glazed ones I can't eat at all. But if you have nice strong teeth you'll love them.

These are very high-quality almonds for snacking with no artificial flavors or preservatives. The honey almonds are lightly sweetened and include dried cranberries along with the almonds. The regular almonds are dry roasted with a bit of salt. Both varieties are delicious! My only complaint is that these bags are really more like two servings at 230-240 calories per bag. For a snack option, I prefer something in the range of 100-150 calories, so I have to discipline myself to eat only half a bag at a time.

These are very good almonds (some might say great), but while I found the glazed honey almonds to be bordering on the addictive (crunchy, sweet, I was disappointed when they were gone), the dry-roasted California almonds (while still very good) really weren't on the same level. They didn't seem significantly better than some of the other brands I've had, and these are noticeably more expensive. If money is no object, then you'll be pleased with these (especially the honey-glazed ones), but they are on the pricey side.
