I count myself lucky, that I had the opportunity to review an array of Glenny’s snacks recently.  Glenny’s makes snacks that you don’t have to feel guilty eating or giving to your children.   At Glenny’s they don’t load up their products with chemicals and other unnecessary unhealthy ingredients.  They have shown that snacks can taste delicious, make you feel like you really indulged and still be both healthy and low in calories.  Perfect for both adults trying to lose weight, or between meal snacks for the kiddos. Oh, and they are Kosher too.

My box was packed with goodies, so rather than continuing with the general overview, let’s get down to specific products, so you can see what you would like.

Here are some mini-reviews for you:

Glennys Brownies & Blondies Review

We received their traditional chocolate brownie, peanut butter brownie & chocolate chip blondie to try.  They were all delicious, and amazingly decadent for a meager 100 calories, but the basic chocolate brownie was our hands down favorite.  I love that most of them have 7 grams of fiber per serving, it is an often overlooked part of American diets.  The brownies, like all Glennys products contain no HFCS, trans fats or hydrogenated oils.  My 3 year old quickly became obsessed with these.

Glennys Spud Delights & Soy Crisps Review

Our other favorite snack out of the box were the Spud Delights.  These were better tasting than regular potato chips, yet these low fat baked chips were only 100 calories for a generous serving.  My daughter and I both adored these. My fave flavor was the Sour Cream & Onion, they also make Sea Salt and Texas BBQ flavors.  With Glenny’s Spud Delights, the dieter does not have to skip chips, with their sandwich

I have never been a fan of soy snacks in the past, but these were pretty tasty.  While flavor-wise I would still pick the Glennys potato snacks over these, the 5 grams of heart-healthy soy protein per serving the Soy Crisps pack make them a great snack.  My daughter craves crunchy foods, and I have a hard time getting her to eat enough protein.  These help with that.  They are only 70 calories per serving too!

Glennys Fruit & Nut Bars Review

These were perhaps the freshest tasting bars I have had since my childhood, when my mother used to make homemade nut bars with local honey. These scrumptious bars come in 3 varieties: Fruit & Nut Classic, Cranberry & Almond and Cashew & Almond.  If you prefer to skip the fruit and just have nuts, Glennys does have a Mixed Nuts bar too.  These 140-150 calorie snack bars are an ideal pick me up mid-day snack or grab and go with your coffee in the morning.

Glennys Marshmallow Treats Review

Let me start by saying I don’t care for Rice Krispie Treats, at all.  So I didn’t really care for these either, although the chocolate wasn’t too bad.  If you like krispie treats, you will like these also.  They are simply a healthier version.  Made with brown rice, they are USDA organic, vegan, gluten free, low in fat & sodium and just 100 calories per serving.

Glennys Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

If you are going gluten free there is no need to miss out on yummy cookies.  Both varieties of these were delightful.  They come in Oatmeal Raisin or Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.  The cookies are both wheat and dairy free, so there is little for concern,  for the allergy prone among us.  Each 2 cookie serving is 110 calories and has 11 grams of whole grains.  If you are not on a Gluten or dairy free diet, try these anyway…they’re yummy.
