REVIEW:

There is something wonderful about consuming a snack that you can feel physically benefiting your body. This is especially true when the snack is not only healthy, but also tastes great. Navitas Naturals specializes in snacks which are raw, vegan, and organic. Their products make it simple and convenient to add more Superfoods into your diet. Superfoods, or foods which have a low caloric count but are packed with nutrients, can give you an energy boost and improve your health. It can be hard for busy people to be able to enjoy the benefits of such foods, and Nativas Naturals makes it easy.

This raw trail mix is a simple and organic combination of a few healthful ingredients. While many manufacturers make trail mixes that market themselves as healthy but are actually packed full of salt, fat and sugar, Nativas Naturals’ Organic Raw Trail Mix consists of only goji berries, mulberries, cacao nibs, golden berries, and raw cashews; foods which are rich in all that is good for you. This sweet, yet tart snack could be excellent fuel for your next outdoor adventure, or in my case, a convenient and healthy snack at work. Packed with antioxidants, iron, and protein, this snack does your body good while satisfying your sweet tooth.

In addition to creating a great product, Nativas Naturals has a really cool interactive website featuring not only information about the many Superfoods they produce, but tons of creative recipes to make using their products. A few of their creative suggestions include using this trail mix as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, or as a gourmet mix to add to cookies or muffins. To see more recipes and learn more about Nativas Naturals, visit their website at www.navitasnaturals.com.

Taste: This trail mix is a perfect combination of sweet goji berries and mulberries, rich cashews, smoky and chocolaty cacao nibs, and tart, almost sour golden berries. It is crunchy as well as chewy, and it’s very addicting; I ate almost the entire bag in one sitting.

Labeling:   The designers of Navitas Naturals’ package seem to take extra care to make their product appear healthy and clean. The design is cute and contemporary with white silhouetted leaves and little foot prints. There is an obvious label on the front of the package stating that the snack is certified organic, as well as raw, and full of antioxidants. The back of the package not only had an ingredients list and nutrition facts, but also included information about the benefits of and suggested uses for this quality product.

Packaging:   Eight, 1oz servings were stored in a Ziploc-style bag.
