Yummy new "snack"
I was at Target yesterday and browsing around looking at stuff and found a new brand of good snacks. They are called TrueNorth and they are made by frito lay. They are nut based and have crackers and other crunchy snacks.
TrueNorth is the link for the site. It has all the nutritional info on the site as well.
I got the Peanut Crunches which have 6g of protein per serving and the Almond Crisps which has 6 or 7g of protein per serving. They were VERY filling as well and really yummy.

Thanks! I LOVE crunchy snacks, and am heading to Target today anyway -- another thing to pop into the shopping cart!

On their website it says Walmart, Target, CVS and Sams so they shouldn't be too hard to find. They are yummy though and they are filling which I like. Plus they are good and portable which is even better. It's not always convienent to take cheese or yogurt or something like that with you.
I'm getting ready to go on vacation in a couple of weeks. These are definitely going into my carryon!

These are good, thanks for the tip ( I think). It's the first thing I've had with any type of known sugar since my surgery and though I didn't have any adverse effects with it I'll have to be careful not to get too caught up eating these. But they are very good.
Here in NC, Walmart is about forty cents cheaper a bag than Target. Haven't checked Sams Club yet.

I forgot to post a big THANK YOU for mentioning this line of snacks! I bought several varieties that day, and they were on sale at Target, so I got a good deal.
They're yummy and crunchy, and a half-size serving is just perfect for me. I am so thankful that there are companies out there producing snack items that are healthy, convenient, and tasty!

OK y'all, have you seen the commercials from these guys? I know my mind is in the gutter most of the time, but my 71 yo mom even mentioned it... at the end of the commercial they talk about all the good things you will find in their nut sack....   Methinks they could have chosen a better selection of words..
