Sahale Snacks - Review and Giveaway!

First of all, I'm crazy about the story behind Sahale Snacks. Josh and Edmond are from Seattle and came up with the idea after climbing Mount Rainier and being less than impressed with the options for trail mixes that taste delicious and are great fuel at the same time.

I happen to love Seattle. The Mister and I spent a week in Washington in 2006 and had an unforgettable time. You can be in the city one day eating sushi and visiting awesome museums, and the next day you can be swimming in the Columbia River and watching a concert at the Gorge Amphitheater. This is me and Mount Rainier back in 2006.

No climbing for us, just picture taking! Maybe some day...

On to the snacks. Anja sent me one of each of their Nut Blends, Glazed Nuts and Seasoned Nuts to try. In the box:

• Sahale Snacks Glazed Nuts - Cashews with Pomegranate + Vanilla


• Sahale Snacks Nut Blend - Valdosta Blend


• Sahale Snacks Seasoned Nuts - Barbeque Blend

In 2009, the Cashews with Pomegranate + Vanilla was awarded an annual "best snack" honor by Shape magazine. I totally get why - I could eat these all day. But to be fair, you can't really combine three of my favorite things and expect that I won't move in with you.

I used all three on salads. What can I say? I like a spiced or glazed nut on my salads. One salad combo that stands out was one I made last week when my brother and his lady were visiting: spinach with strawberries, feta, POM salad dressing, and Cashews with Pomegranate + Vanilla. I know!
