REVIEW:
When Mareblu Naturals was developing their product line, aside from tasting good, there were 3 goals in mind. They wanted everything locally grown and packaged, natural and healthy. It looks like they succeeded with their Trail Mix Crunch. Mareblu Naturals Crunch Bags comes in several varieties including almond, blueberry pomegranate, pistachio trail mix, and cashew among several others. They are all natural, 100% vegan, Kosher, cholesterol free, dairy free, contain no preservatives and of course are certified gluten free. With a long list of attributes like that, you have strong makings for a healthy snack.
Mareblu Naturals has a very nice variety of these Crunch Bags. We had the Blueberry Pomegranate Trail Mix Crunch, Pistachio Trail Mix Crunch, Cashew Crunch and Almond Crunch varieties. The one that appeals to you will all depend on what you like. I’m a fan of almonds pistachios, and cashews so all of them appealed to me. They all had a slightly sweet slightly salty flavor that was perfect. The only complaint we had was that some of the pieces were saltier than others.
The one that stood out the most was the Blueberry Pomegranate Trail Mix Crunch. It contained cashews, almonds, pistachios, blueberries and was sweetened with a little pomegranate juice. Mareblu Naturals says that it is their most popular flavor and with good reason. The different nuts give it the perfect blend of crunchiness while the blueberry adds a pleasant chewiness. The flavor is great too. The blueberries add a lot of sweetness to the flavor and what you end up with is a flavor that reminds me of one of my favorite childhood cereals, Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries.
Mareblu Naturals have done a great job with this snack. It is has a vegan certification, pareve certification and a gluten free certification. If you are allergic to peanuts, rest assured because these snacks are peanut free and are produced in a facility that is peanut free. All of these have about 150 calories, 11-12 grams of fat, 45-50 milligrams of sodium and 5 grams of sugar. These numbers look pretty good and are definitely a healthier option that many of the other snacks out there. Only thing to watch out for are people with sensitive teeth might want to pay attention when they are chewing as this will get stuck between your teeth.
Taste: These crunch bags tasted great. They had a nice balance of sweet and salty and a great blend of textures.
Labeling: The labeling on the packages was very easy to read. The Blueberry Pomegranate Trail Mix
Crunch had a join our E-club offer in place of the certification seals. While I know joining their e-club is important, I think the certifications are more important. They also do not say whether or not their facility is gluten free or not.
Packaging: Resealable plastic package which makes it convenient to eat on the go and in separate sittings.
