Glenny's Product Review

Thanks, to Glenny's for letting me do a review for their great products. Glenny's has been producing healthy products since 1979. And the success story started with making Rice Treats. But their success didn't stop there, it has taken off with even more healthy snacks. The benefits from their snacks are, they taste great, they are healthy heart friendly, and a great aid in loosing weight.



So there's a bunch to talk about so let's get started. Products I received we're plenty, they we're very gracious. All their snacks are baked fresh, before they are delivered to your door. The first product tested was the 100 calorie Blondie brownie.  Tell me who doesn't love a good brownie. This brownie is a new formulation for Glenny's. Only 7 grams of fiber, 4 grams of soy protein, make it heart healthy all the way. You don't feel guilty eating it for sure. A great snack to eat between meals, that definitely satisfies your belly. The snack was fresh, moist and very rich in flavor. The chocolate chips just melted in my mouth. This would also be great with a little bit of sugar free ice cream on top, as a dessert.


Now for those chocolate lovers out there, the 100 calorie all natural brownie could be for you. Tender, and chewy with lots of chocolate chip morsels, will make a party in your mouth for sure. Kid tasted, and passed. Will make any child happy to find this snack in their lunch bag. And its healthy for them as well. They have sixty percent less fat than any brownies that are homemade.



Glenny's soy crisps, that are lightly salted, we're also great. They have more soy protein than tofu, how healthy is that. This is one of their best selling chips, and after tasting it you will see why. The chips go great with salsa, or any other dip of your choice. They also are crisp enough, for melting a little cheese on them. The taste you get in your mouth is a cross between a rice cake and potato chip. So if you are a potato chip addict, you can now substitute them, for these healthy snacks.



 Now for the soy crisps with olive oil, garlic and feta cheese. These we're also very tasty. They had a great Mediterranean flavored taste to them. Sometimes every one just has to have a crunchy snack. And with Glenny's soy crisps I think they will find it. The crisps are made with heart healthy olive oil, and other all natural ingredients, great for any health nut.



Soy Crisps in barbecue flavor, who new. These taste just like a barbecue potato chips. Really good for a wheat and gluten free food product. This crisp makes a great movie time snack.



For more chocolate flavor snacks, the multi grain drizzle worked for me. One bite of these and you will be in chocolate heaven for sure. Very nice tasting crisp, and also healthy for you. A very light tasty chocolate snack. And a great kosher product also.




Now who doesn't love ketchup with their fries. And if you do, you can now eat it snack fries from a bag. This snack is like eating crinkle cut french fries at the county fair, with the ketchup already on them. This was kid tasted and tested of course. A baked fry, how great is that, and no trans fat. Makes a very kid friendly snack, for anytime. They leave a wonderful zippy flavor on your taste buds. Only 120 calories per serving to.



For the next snack, I tested and tasted the cranberry and almond fruit bar. Made with whole fruits and nuts that you can taste in every bite. Naturally sweetened, and has no refined sugar. I am a diabetic, and these we're a great snack idea for me. They are also a non dairy product, which may do well for a vegan diet. You could taste the crunchy whole almonds in this snack. And when making the bar, Glenny's did not use any fruit paste. I am loving Glenny's. What's nice also is, that honey, pure honey, is what binds everything in the bar. It is a really fresh, natural tasting bar.



More brownies, no problem. This is the 100 calorie brownie with peanut butter. And I am a big fan of peanut butter. Now, with this brownie I grabbed a cup of coffee, and enjoyed it. A nice low calorie treat, before or between meals, or even for dessert. They are very moist, and very tasty, and very fudgy, and very peanut butter great tasting. The combination of flavors will dance for sure on your taste buds. So if you are ever craving for peanut butter, you don't need to reach for the jar, just this bar.



For the cheese in me, these crisps we're a true delight. They are made with real cheddar cheese, and it taste like it in every bite. Very light and crunchy snack. A healthy snack that helps build and maintain muscle. Any one on a diet of any kind may find these snack beneifcial.


Now for the marshmallow treats, I started with the brown rice to start with. This snack is great for any one who eats only orgainic or vegan meals. They also have a creamy vanilla taste to them. The snack is made with whole grain brown rice. They fit great into any diet plan you may be on. Wonderful as a school, or office snack to. They have a gooie taste to them, and that worked for me.



The marshmallow treats also come in what else, chocolate. How great is that. The chocolate with the brown rice flavor is a good combination. other chocolate lovers like me will really enjoy this treat. This is also only 100 calories. So you don't feel quilty eating marshmallows, chocolate, and rice.



For even more treasures, the marshmallow treat comes in carmel. It just keeps getting better and better. This makes a grumbling belly stop on a dime. The treat was very tasty also, not dry at all. Very moist and chewy with loads of carmel flavor. A good benefit to this is that, it is low in sodium. The ingredient combo of peanut butter, carmel, and marshmallows makes your taste buds dance a happy jig.



Just when you think they couldn't have any more treats, there's a box of marshmallow treats with raspberries. Wow, I have to say you can't get a better combo of ingredients than this. And if the berries aren't great enough you even get a dose of DHA omega 3. Healthy, and yummy once again. This snack is also made with vegan marshmallow, and bursting with organic raspberries.




Cookies we're also in the products to review. Oatmeal cookies at that. They taste as good as grandma could make. What's great is, they are only 55 calories. A benefit eating these cookies are, anyone with celiac disease and gluten intolerance can have these. The oatmeal cookies and all Glenny's other products are packed carefully in order to retain their freshness. It was easy to see all the love and care that went into making the products.


The last box in the bunch was the classic fruit and nut bar. The bars are sweetened with honey and brown rice syrup. The mixture is all natural fruit and whole nuts. And you taste the mixture in every bite. Full of potassium, vitamins, and other healthy ingredients, you get a boost of energy within every bite.
