I received a sample of the product featured in this post from Simple Mills for review purposes. All opinions expressed are my own.
For years when I thought of foods that are meant to be “healthy” I thought of food that was boring and tasteless. I mean I thought that you couldn’t season your food or anything. Of course as I have been on this journey of mine to lose weight I have realized that that isn’t the case at all. I am learning that food can have a great taste and still be good for you. I still have my hesitations but you don’t know until you try right?
I was recently asked to review Simple Mills Farmhouse Cheddar Crackers. These crackers are made of almond flour and are gluten free. The gluten free part had me even more skeptical cause I don’t eat gluten free foods that often. So I didn’t know really what to expect. Most of the foods that are now gluten free are foods that I have been eating for a long time so I don’t really taste the difference in them. But this is a product I’ve never tried before. They look like regular crackers. They are a little bit thinner and harder than I am used to. They look slightly different from the crackers I usually eat.
Simple Mills Farmhouse Cheddar crackers are not like many of the healthy foods that I have tasted before. These crackers taste good. It did take me awhile to get accustomed to the taste mainly because I am used to different types of crackers. I can say that after awhile I didn’t really miss the taste of the others at all. I love that I can eat these crackers and know that I am eating something that is good for me to eat. I don’t have to worry about eating too much salt or anything. You can look at the side of the box and actually read/pronounce the ingredients. The ingredients are almonds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, cassava, and cheddar. Not many foods are made with real ingredients that you can find in the local stores.
I love that I am finding healthier food options that taste good. It is making my journey to lose weight much easier. I can have a snack that tastes great without regretting it later. I like even more that I don’t have to google the ingredients to find out what the heck I am eating. That part makes me feel great.
