I am always on the hunt for new
healthy snack options. So I was scanning the aisle at
the grocery store a couple of months ago when this rectangle of cakes just kept
staring at me. I couldn’t resist taking
a closer look. This intriguing snack was
called Suzie’s Whole Grain Thin Cakes and when I picked up the Spelt & Flaxseed
thin cakes to read the ingredients and
nutrition facts, I was pleasantly surprised: 57 calories, 0g Fat, 10g Carbs, 2g
Protein for 3 cakes which is considered a serving size.
It turns out that Suzie’s makes some
great healthy snacks: organic crackers, flatbreads, puff cakes, naan crackers
and thin cakes. So I picked up a pack of
Suzie’s Whole Grain Thin Cakes – Spelt & Flax to put them to the test. Immediately I fall in love with the 3 simple
ingredients, spelt wheat, flaxseed and sea salt. Simple.
No need to worry about anything else.
The thin cakes are also available in brown rice, brown rice with salt,
multigrain, salted corn and corn/quinoa/sesame.
And as a bonus…the brown rice is GMO free!
Well Suzie’s Thin Cakes were an
instant hit in our house. They even
passed the kid test! These thin cakes
have that crunch factor that so many of us love and are good alone or with
anything you choose…cheese, natural preserves, nut butter, hummus…the
possibilities are endless. We have even
had them with a little pizza
sauce and low fat mozzarella cheese on top for a quick little pizza, yum! The kids’ favorite was a thin layer of
natural peanut butter topped with banana slices then warmed 15 second in the microwave. The perfect afterschool snack.
So if you are looking for a
low-calorie snack that packs a great crunch I highly recommend Suzie’s Thin
Cakes. The ingredients are clean and
simple and the 6 different varieties offer something for every taste. I picked up my Suzie’s Thin Cakes at Harris
Teeter but Suzie’s
brand products can be found nationwide at a variety of supermarket, natural, and
specialty stores, in addition to amazon.com and goodgroceries.com.
Enjoy!
