First out of the box this month was some Chocolate Chip Cookies. The Nui brand has done a good job before and so I look forward to trying these. Dried cheese usually comes in the box and this month was no different. Another Beef Stick too. The items I was excited for was some low carb chocolate milk mix, and Some chocolate mug cake. Two items I have never seen before but both sound great. There is also a granola mix that is snickerdoodle flavor which I think sounds wonderful. On the saltier side we have some pork rinds, umami sunflower seeds, and protein crisps. Lastly it all wraps up with a chocolate nut butter.

Overall I thought this was a pretty good box with items that were new and fun to try. Things I haven’t seen before. Probably give this one a nice 7/10. Solid and tasty items. And lots of chocolate!

​I've had the Fat Snax Cookies on several occasions before and the past flavors I have tried have all been good, but sometimes they came off a little dry. These double Chocolate cookies were a bit higher on my ratings for them. Great flavor, very chocolatey and sweet. Soft backed too. Cookie lovers this could be a perfect fit for you to fill that old need you have.

The Coco Almond Stoka Bar is a decent bar but I can't seem to really remember much about it. I don’t think you should expect something that is very sweet. It's almost more of a granola style protein bar. It was fine but overall I don’t think it had a very strong impression on me.
​

I've mentioned before that I'm not a huge fan of fruity flavored cereal. It's not really my thing. So keep that in mind here. But after trying a recent sample of The Cereal Schools Fruity cereal I was left unimpressed. And while the taste was a factor for me, even beyond that part the texture was just as equally related to this. These puffs have a gritty slightly foam taste. They remind me of protein puffs that I have had before. Very light and airy, but a slight artificial taste. And let's be real, they would be artificial. Anything that real would have carbs most likely.


These aren't awful, but I personally wasn’t really a fan. I would be open to try some other flavors to see if that makes a difference for me. But this particular batch was not for me.
​

​Yum. The Dang Bar company continues to put out unique flavors that surpass expectations and surprise. The Caramom Chai flavor was a flavorful surprise that was unlike any other bars I had tasted prior. I was totally into it. Great taste, some sweetness, and a filling flavor. Hints of cinnamon and chai where here. Great bar. I think that if you haven't checked out this company you probably should.

I love almonds. I eat almonds almost every day with my lunch. It’s a regular snack filler for me. Lots of fiber and now there are lots of companies with more and more unique flavor options. Cocoa almonds are pretty easy to find and becoming more available on snack shelves too.


These particular Cocoa almonds by Sunbiotics are awful. I don’t understand what the need is to alter cocoa almonds much. Almonds are pretty natural already. Adding probiotics to them seems silly. These had the weirdest taste and a real strange flavor to them. Not just cocoa but something else with a real earthy side which I assume is by having the probiotics. Honestly, I couldn’t even finish the bag. The flavor was so distracting for me. When I think Cocoa Almonds I think of almonds with a nice slight sweetness and chocolaty taste. That’s not the case here.


Bleh. Hard pass.

ChocoRite has always done a great job of getting low carb treats right. Their no sugar added chocolates are always delicious and full of flavor. I was completely unaware that they did protein bars. When I got this in one of my snack boxes I was really excited to try it. And good news, it didn’t let me down.


The ChocoRite company nails the taste of yellow cake. Which I didn’t know I needed until I tasted it. But sure enough, it was there. A sweet smooth taste that has lots of flavor and doesn’t leave you with a strong protein after taste. Its sweet and fulfilling. I loved how soft my bar was too. Very yummy. I may even order some on my next refill.
​

​The DNX Beef & Uncured Bacon and Jalapeno Bar is kind of weird. It's not a meat stick like you might be used to. And it is not a traditional protein bar either. It's a meat bar. And when you can get past the idea of eating meat pressed into a bar shape, its actually pretty good. It was soft, tender, and not too dry. It's not like a jerky so don’t expect that. It's definitely closer to that of a meat stick consistency. But again, it's denser. I didn’t really taste much spice in this so I think the jalapeno got my hopes up. But the bacon was there. Pretty good.

Once again the Real Good company is trying something different with their new line of Poppers that they make. Low carb and made with Chicken instead of traditional protein they boast high protein and lower carbs. But how do they stack up?
​

​I was underwhelmed for sure with these. I was really hoping for more of a pizza taste then they let on. I wish they put some sauce inside these or something. I could hardly even taste the pepperoni. And the cheese was barely there. Very dry. We needed to dip them into something to add some better flavor so a side of ranch was the best fit. No real desire to have these again unless the recipe gets improved.

I actually liked these a lot more. I am guessing it has to do with the amount of cheese inside of them? They just seemed much more cheesy and flavorful. And even so, not my favorite. Still was drier than I wanted and hoped for. Really if you eat something called a popper, you expect it to pop open with lots of stuff inside. These don’t really do that. There may be a better way to label these so my expectations are lowered going in. Decent, but not super excited to get them again.


I will say this, You can find these at most Walmart's now. Which is exciting. Not many appetizer options out there for the low carb, but not there are. So that’s a big win.

If you read this blog you know that I am constantly on the look-out for Low Carb products that meet my lifestyle and help to make my life a bit easier. Saving time on cooking, and having a variety of snacks available help to make the diet a bit easier on myself so I don’t get bored with the same old things. So when I discovered that there was a new subscription service that sends you products that fit within the low carb lifestyle I was on board.


Keto Krate is a new subscription box that is available in the long list of to your door monthly box subscriptions that is specifically geared towards the Keto and low carb lifestyle. They guarantee that all items in the box will be less than 5 carbs per serving and that the value of the collected items products will always exceed the cost of the box.


My desire to find some new snacks that were low carb is really what made me decide to give it a try, that plus who doesn’t like a surprise now and then.


My review's for the individual products in this box will be cut short here. I will be doing more in-depth reviews on each product and share links to those reviews here as I complete them. Right now I just want to talk about this month's box and what I got as a whole.


This box opened up strong with a bag of cereal from one of my favorite low carb cereal companies Catalina Crunch. They have a new flavor of cereal out and I look forward to giving it a try. To go with it comes with a Nut Milk by Milkademia which is a macadamia milk. I love that stuff. Very creamy and smooth. Followed next was a few nut packs. Peanuts by Pizootz and some cocoa almonds. A meat stick is always in the box and of course a few protein bars. One is cake flavored which I am really excited to try because I love the ChocoRite company. I also like the Dang company as they have some really unique flavors. Some chocolate cookies come next. Fat Snax haven't been my favorite but I love trying new flavors. Lastly they have a meal replacement shake that I can mix with the nut milk they sent.


​

Overall this box is pretty good. More than anything getting the cereal and milk is a huge win because that can be a multi use snack or breakfast. You can take get a lot of mileage out of those items. I like the bars they always include and they have some good snacking items like nuts. I guess I would have loved to see something more chocolaty in this box. But I'm probably just getting picky. This box was good. I guess I would give it a 7.
