Blue Diamond almonds and almond milk are a regular part of my diet so I was looking forward to trying crackers made with almonds when asked. When the boxes of Blue Diamond Nut & Rice Cracker Snacks arrived, I was ready to snack.
First I checked out the nutritional facts though. I loved getting 16 crackers for 120 calories plus 3 grams of protein. Of course they’re made with real almonds and not only are they wheat free but even certified gluten-free.
For the first box I paired the crackers with my favorite “healthy” dip, Trader Joe’s Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt dip. The crackers were a perfect match for the dip and I loved the nutty, crunchy cracker. This snack was perfect for late afternoon when my stomach wants dinner but it’s too early.
I had hummus on hand for the second box and it worked just as well. 🙂 A word of advice is to count out the crackers and put the box away. It’s hard to stop at one serving!
I think these cracker snacks work best with lighter toppings due to their thin nature. If you’re a cook they’d make a wonderful cracker breading.
The crackers come in seven flavors (Almond, Hint of Sea Salt, Pecan, Smokehouse, Cheddar Cheese, Country Ranch and Pepper Jack Cheese) and I’m looking forward to trying them all. What’s your favorite afternoon snack?
