Review - Wonky Kale & Coconut Snack

Brand:  Wonky

Flavor:  Green Garlic Kale & Coconut Snack

Where to get it: here @ Amazon.com

                How do you distinguish yourself in the recently-released tide pool of kale snacks? You be as creative and delicious as Wonky, that’s how. Holy cow, what a treat. If you’ve tried other kale snacks and liked them, you HAVE to try these. I would even go so far as to recommend them to my coconut-hating friends (I don’t get it, but they exist). Eating these made me want to mix coconut and garlic together AT ALL TIMES. What a great combination that I have just never really thought of. These have just a bit of a kick to them, and just a bit of a sweet side as well. They’re crunchy and all balled up just waiting to be chewed into a delicious paste. They do have a pretty strong garlic after-breath situation going on, so no make out plans after you eat these. But you know what? They’re worth it. And if someone wants to make out with you now, they’ll still want to make out with you later. Now, pardon me while I go make out with Wonky some more.

Review: Goldbaum's Kale Chips

Brand:  Goldbaums

Flavor:  Kale Chips

Where to get it: here @ Amazon.com

                I’m not entirely sure what angle I want to take with this review, because on one hand, these are a little nutritionally misleading, but on the other hand, they taste delicious. Maybe we’ll just stick with the facts. They are called “kale chips,” but there are A LOT of ingredients in here before kale makes an appearance – including sugar. So…calling them kale chips is kind of a marketing ploy, I feel. That being said, for a chip-esque snack, these aren’t all bad. 100 calories in the single-serving bag, and you get a good amount of chips. Not a lot to speak of nutritionally except for the things listed below in the “qualities”. That being said, they are really tasty. They have a fair amount of salt, which I am a fan of. And they don’t have that straight-up, air puffed potato flavor, which I am not a fan of. Long story short, if you want a salty chip snack, these taste great. If you’re thinking of buying them because of the kale, you might be disappointed.
