ShopRite’s Wholesome Pantry Snacks Review
Gone are the days where we just blindly put food in our mouths without thinking about how it was made and the ingredients. Today, people are more conscious of what they are eating and that trend (for good reason) is growing every day. One of the comments we get frequently here at For The Mommas is, “How can I save money on organic items or “free from” products.” While coupons are available they are rare. So What is a family to do when they want not only their meals to be organic or “free from” but their snacks to be the same? Enter ShopRite’s Wholesome Pantry Snacks.
If you are a ShopRite shopper or have a ShopRite in your area, you are in luck. ShopRite’s Wholesome Pantry Snacks elevate your snacking experience with simple, authentic ingredients but at the affordable price you expect from ShopRite. Snacking is part of our daily lives and we should be able to find affordable items that fit our lifestyle and dietary needs.
ShopRite sent me a package of products from their Wholesome Pantry Snacks line to review. I received the following products:
- Wholesome Pantry Almond Butter – A delectable nut butter with the perfect balance of flavor, smoothness and creaminess
- Wholesome Pantry Organic Energy Mix – A satisfying mix of sunflower seed, organic raisins, dried cranberries, nuts and dried apples
- Wholesome Pantry Freeze Dried Fuji Apple Fruit Crisps – Flavorful and portable, these low-calorie treats are great on the go
- Wholesome Pantry Organic Crushed Pepper and Truffle Oil Popcorn – Finished with a hint of elegant truffle oil and a dash of spicy pepper for a purely rich treat
- Wholesome Pantry Organic Pecan Halves – Packed with nutrients, these nuts enrich favorite recipes or can be enjoyed along as a snack
The first thing I tried was the Wholesome Pantry Organic Crushed Pepper and Truffle Oil Popcorn. I love this stuff. It had a really tasty peppery flavor that made my lips tingle a little when I was finished eating it, but it was not overly spicy. This is a perfect adult snack. It is a definite upgrade from the usual plain buttered popcorn. Put this out for your next adult gathering or movie night.
The next item I tried was the Wholesome Pantry Freeze Dried Fuji Apple Fruit Crisps. They are called crisps, but they are not like most fruit crisps you find on the supermarket shelves. They are not like chips, but their texture is great and almost like they are “puffed.” They had a great sweet apple flavor that would be perfect to curb your sweet tooth or to pack in a lunch.
The Wholesome Pantry Organic Energy Mix was next on my list. This energy mix had a great taste and was full of items that would curb your hunger and give you an energy boost for your busy day or workout. This would be an awesome item to keep in the car or your purse to have on hand when you don’t have time to eat a meal. However, for me, this mix had too many sunflower seeds in it. I would have preferred to have less seeds and more nuts. I am just not a seed fan–a personal preference. However if you like sunflower seeds, you will love this mix.
The Wholesome Pantry Almond Butter is so good. It is just almonds and sea salt. Nothing else. It has a great nutty, non-sweet taste since there is no added sugar. This was really creamy and spread easily. I loved it on toast (one of my go-to breakfasts) and on some organic apples. Seriously, if you are looking to get away from sugary sweet nut butters with lots of additives, pick up some Wholesome Pantry Almond Butter. As with any no additive nut butter you will see some oil separation at the top of the jar. If that bothers you, just store it in the fridge.
The last item I tried is the Wholesome Pantry Organic Pecan Halves. I am not a baker but I try to pick lower carb snacks and nuts are my go to snack. These pecan halves were tasty on their own but would be great if you were looking for organic nuts for your baked goods.
I was very impressed with the items I sampled from ShopRite’s Wholesome Pantry Snacks line. You can find these items as well as hundreds of other items in almost every aisle of your local ShopRite. To learn more and see a list of all the available items go to the ShopRite Wholesome Pantry page.
