REVIEW:

The Paleo People Company is taking it back to the old school with their tasty treats. Inspired by “The Paleo Diet” by Loren Cordain, this diet relies heavily on ingredients that one would find in the cave dweller days. Essentials such as berries, fruits, spices, natural sweeteners, seeds and nuts make up for the bulk of the Paleo People food line. Completely wheat free and gluten free, this company focuses on the need for tasty, healthy snacks for the Celiacs, vegetarians, sport enthusiasts, vegans, and essentially anyone who loves wholesome, delicious food!

I did not know what to expect when I opened this bag of all natural, apple crisp flavored snack. I assumed it would be a crunchy concoction of a dried fruit and nut medley that would crunch and crisp its way through my flavor palate. Oh, how terribly wrong I was! I was surprised to find this snack to be its polar opposite! I opened the bag and was greeted with the flavorful aroma of juicy apples that pleasantly wafted through the air before digging into the bag of soft, moist morsels of apple crisp.

This particular treat has a plethora of ingredients—honey, almonds, pecans, walnuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, coconut oil, pumpkin seeds, dried apples, flaxseed meal, spices, cacao powder, and a natural antioxidant called “tocopherol”.  With 160 calories in each serving, each bite packs a savory mix of fruits and nuts that are chewy, moist, and soft to the touch.

Taste:  With this company only using the essentials found in cave dweller days, this apple crisp flavor is not your ordinary, sugary snack. The taste of dried apples is prominent on first bite, and since there are no artificial sweeteners to punch up the flavor, the nuts and honey sweetener are allowed to shine through and give the snack its all-natural, wholesome taste. I love the texture of this because it is soft and chewy, but at the same time very flavorful. My jaw was relieved that it would not have to work overtime to get the full experience of the nuts and fruit hidden in every delectable morsel. A great, wholesome snack for those people who do not want to crunch their way to great flavor!
