Just a Taste with Crum Creek #crumcreek
Snacks, snacks, everywhere snacks. When Crum Creek reached out and asked me to review their snack line I had no idea they were going to stuff a giant box and send me a months supply! I just assumed that in exchange for my honest review I would get a sample pack of each flavor. Wow. That right there is top-notch. How they treat their brand ambassadors says a lot in how they treat their customers. Sadly, they did spell my first name. While I am used to it, I hope they play closer attention to paying customers because that could mean the difference between a returning customer and one who won’t come back.
I was a little worried at first about eating these soy bites because they (obviously) are made with soy. As someone who suffers from PCOS, I don’t want to deal with the consequences of hormones and eating too much soy. The data is mixed and so are opinions. But, I figured it was such a minimal amount that it shouldn’t cause any issue. If you want to read some information regarding the issues with soy, feel free to read my page all about PCOS.
So these little snack packs are small and portable. The soy bites are made with non-gmo soy protein. These tasty treats are higher in protein and lower in carbs that most snacks available. I received samples of sesame, everything, and Rosemary & Garlic.
I tried the Rosemary & Garlic first. I am not sure when I was expecting. They were a bit dry (a little more so than normal breadsticks and pretzels) and I wasn’t really tasting any garlic flavor. I read on a fellow bloggers website that she dipped them. I might have to try dipping them in hummus. Might have a bit better flavor.
Next I tried the sesame. I hate to hurt anyone’s feelings, but these were so dry and had no real flavor. I think I am going to smash these up and add some seasoning into a bag. Then, I will use them as ‘bread’crumbs for some faux frying. These might be tasty dipped in some natural peanut butter.
Lastly, I tried the everything. Winner! These little soy bites tasted a lot like an everything bagel. mmmm…… I even dipped on into a small bit of Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and it was pretty amazing.
All-in-all I really enjoyed the everything variety soy bites from Crum Creek. But you know what they say, “different strokes for different folks” and I encourage everyone to try everything at least once to form their own opinion on tastes and textures.
These sound like they would be amazing. I’m trying to eat better so I’ll definitely be trying these out, thanks for sharing!
I liked all the flavors but I did dip them all. I always dip breadstick – I never eat any breadstick without something on it 🙂 I really liked the fact that they are high in protein – making them a great snack.
I am always looking for healthy new snacks to try. Thank you for the suggestion, these sound pretty tasty!
Rosemary Garlic would be my favorite! They all look tasty though!
You had me at non-GMO. That is becoming increasingly important, and my fear is that the seeds will leak into the general supply. Till then, I try to buy non-GMO as well!
thanks,
Mitch
I’m looking for some healthy snack foods, and these sound delicious! Can’t wait to try them!
I have not ever heard of this brand but the Soy Bites would be the food I would try first. Trying new snacks that are healthy is always fun.
These look so good. Sometimes, I just want a yummy crunchy snack. Now I can have all of that with none of the guilt! Yay!
These look yummy. I’m always looking for a healthy tasty snack option.
These look and sound yummy. To bad im allergic to soy.
These look like a great healthy snack. I am going to check and see if they are available in Canada.
That looks so yummy. And I am so hungry right now. Love that it is healthy.
I bet they would be great in hummus and you would get a little added health benefit too. You are right about trying everything at least once. Otherwise you miss out on some really great things.
I’m like you, I like to try things first before knocking it. The packaging would have definitely drawn my attention. Very cute. I wouldn’t mind trying these for sure.
Thanks for the review of these Crum Creek snacks. They really sound like they would be great for hummus. I’m always on the lookout for portable, healthier alternatives.
