I love to snack, it is one of the downfalls to being home a lot. The trick is finding healthy snacks that aren't loaded with artificial junk. Both my hubby and I have been fans of Nature Valley Granola Bars for some time now. We buy the big box of the Oat's n' Honey one at Costco and that last a while. He likes to pack him in his lunch and if my 4.5 year old wasn't at a "nut free" preschool, I'd probably pack them in his lunch every now and then as well. So I was really excited when I heard that Nature Valley came out with a new Nut Clusters snack.
MyBlogSpark sent me a great Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters "Snack Pack" prize pack to try out. Included was one pack of each of the varieties of Nut Clusters. The four varieties are: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut. Nut Clusters are a bite size blend of 100% natural ingredients that include select roasted nuts, whole grain oats and a touch of honey. They are a prefect blend of salty and sweet. The night that my package arrived, I immediately tore into the Nut Lovers one. Oh my goodness they were delicious. The entire package was gone in minutes. I have to confess that no one else in my house even got a chance to sample any of these, I ate them all. Over the next few nights they became my late nigh snack of choice while I was blogging.
All four flavors were very yummy. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably be the Nut Lovers followed closely by the Roasted Cashew. Of course in addition to great taste, its so nice that there are artificial ingredients in here. The Nut Clusters are definitely a snack that I plan on purchasing. In fact for those of you in the North East like me, they are currently on sale at Stop & Shop! And maybe next time, I'll actually let my family taste some. Maybe.

ReplyDeleteok this is silly but the silence of the outdoors- I love the waterfalls and the running creek, the birds chirping and even the the patter of things running through the leaves- even though it may scare the heck out of me. I love the fact when I get into real nature, no one is out there and it has not been contaminated by companies and people.
ReplyDeleteI love the smells and the sounds. It's so peaceful

ReplyDeletemain entry:my favorite elements of nature are the smell of the leaves as you rake them and the mixed scents of pine cones and needles, or the scent of honeysuckle blossoms as the wind blows across the vines.The smell of dirt in the air right before it rains.Wild grass oninos right after the lawn was mowed.Pine scent after you pass by a saw mill lumber company.The twirling wind sound seeping through the cracks of the barn or the smell of tabaco hanging in the barn top to dry.fresh smell of black walnuts standing under a walnut tree while they are laying on the ground fresh off the tree still in there green hulls,the smell of hay on a wagon ride. I could go on all day but my last will be the smell of cedar as you sit under a cedar tree.

Leaving a comment on a non-giveaway post on your going green tips Going Green: Curbside Composting" I found that very interesting and did not know they offer pickup for it ither. Seems like the eastern states do not do anything like that. We live in farming country in eastern TN and we try to use our left over food scraps to feed the pigs or corn for cows as grain feed, and of course what they then deposit as waste is used back in our gardeks or flower beds for fertilizer. You learn something new everyday so now I know>thanks
