Freeze-Dried Asian Pears and Mangoes

Now these... these are pretty cool. Maybe novel is a better word. There is less to go overboard on in these small packs, which I'm sure one can easily do if these came in bigger bags and passed as chips. I like how these are airy and light, a nice change from the chewy texture of regular dried fruits. Of course, if possible, it's probably best just to eat the real thing. Crispy Green!

Acai Cacao Bar and Nut Butters

The possibilities are endless... I'm curious to try the pecan butter especially, and the cashini butter (cashews and sesame tahini). These nut butters are all raw, which is cool but not something I live by. The chocolate bar is raw too. Yay. I like these cute little nut butter packets. I can't vouch for Artisana yet but for sure, one of the best is Justin's maple almond nut butter, which Justin unashamedly proclaims as his favorite out of his lineup. Try it! I like it although I wouldn't mind if it were a bit stronger on the maple.

Snapea and Okra Veggie Crisps

The "snapea" crisps on the left are aimed more for the mainstream audience. These little crisps are shaped like snap peas and have the peas as their first ingredient, whereas the okra crisps on the right are pretty hard core in that each individual crisp is truly a dried up and crisped okra (no reshaping)! The former is more like your standard snack/chip taste whereas the latter is more reminiscent of kale chips. I like both... It'll depend on my mood as far as which one I reach for. Both are healthy although the Danielle ones are more gourmet and pricier than the Snapea ones. They used to carry durian chips (which were good) but I haven't seen them recently.

Happy Apple Cookies

He he he! These soft baked happy apple cookies are so small, brown, and cute! Apparently they are nut and gluten free as well but I really don't care about that. I love how they are so round and stubby. He he he! Oh, and they taste great... wholesome and soft. For more info: Enjoy Life.

Raw Wild Jungle Peanuts

Yay for raw jungle peanuts from Essential Living Foods. These are from Ecuador or Peru, says the box. The actual peanuts are very pretty. They are striped and remind me a little bit of the tiger's eye stones. Of course these are edible whereas rocks are not. In general, I prefer the taste of roasted to raw nuts, but these were decent.
