More than Slightly Obsessed: Hi I’m Skinny Sticks Review

in Other

Special News Bulletin:  I Interrupt this Blogcation for a Tasty Product Review! 😉

You guyyssss (and gals, of course! ;))…I have an awesome product review to share with you today!  As the title of this post states, I am just slightly obsessed!  Okay, actually I am really REALLY obsessed.  Once you try them for yourselves you will totally understand why.

Many months ago (hey, I had to try them all first before I was able to give you an honest review) I received this wonderful package in the mail.  There is nothing quite as exciting as getting a package in the mail.  But when that package contains SIX full-sized bags of tasty-sounds snacks…well, that makes me really excited!  The awesome folks over at Hi I’m Skinny Sticks sent me six of their flavors: tangy barbecue, veggie tortilla, cheddar, sea salt, sweet potato, and sweet onion.

Hi I’m Skinny Snacks are made with whole grains, have up to 40% less fat than regular potato chips, are all natural, are GMO free, and do not use refined sugar.  Basically, for a salty or sweet snack, they are something that you do not have to feel guilty about eating.

I could not wait to dig into the flavors, but knew that I wanted to try one bag at a time so that they did not go stale.  I loved these, but even I can only go through them at a certain pace ;).  The BBQ-loving individual in me knew that the first flavor I needed to try was the tangy barbecue.

These are SO good.  I do not even know how to explain the goodness that came out of this bag.  I had to portion out a “serving size” whenever I ate these because otherwise I would have easily eaten the entire bag in one sitting.  These babies are addicting!

Next, I tried the sweet onion flavor.  While I really enjoyed the seasonings used in these sticks, they seemed to be a lot smaller and less crunchy than the barbecue sticks.  I was kind of disappointed.  So…flavor-wise they are great.  Substance-wise?  They leave a little bit to be desired.

The veggie tortilla flavor!

Not only was this flavor delicious (no surprise there), but the sticks were also quite colorful!  I found that to be fun :).  I shared this variety with my mom and she really enjoyed them, as well.  This flavor is a little lighter on the seasonings than some of the others, but I fully welcomed and appreciated that.  Who needs chips when you can eat these?

The fourth flavor that I tried was the sweet potato variety.  Holy cow, these are good!  You seriously do not need cookies or ice cream for “dessert” when you have these.  I am not sure what I was expecting (these are sweet potato flavored, after all), but they were sweeter than I had anticipated.  Trust me, it was a really good sweetness, though.  I am a huge fan of the sweet/salty combination, so these really hit the spot!

Go ahead and call me plain and boring.  No really, it’s okay.  I must say, that of the six flavors that I tried, the sea salt flavor was absolutely one of my favorites.  The crunchiness was perfect and the simplicity of the sea salt was delicious.  I may be a simple girl, but I think that sometimes that is okay.  And simplicity in this case was so good!

Last but not least…

I really enjoyed the cheddar flavor.  I would certainly choose to eat these over most “cheesy” chips or snacks out there because they certainly fulfilled my cravings for a cheesy snack.  The only thing that I did not love about this flavor is that they are not vegan (not surprisingly).  All of the other flavors are plant-based, though, so that makes me happy :).

So what is my ultimate verdict on the Hi I’m Skinny Sticks?  Well, they are GOOD!  I really liked all of the flavors and especially loved the barbecue, sweet potato, and sea salt flavors.  I love the fact that five out of the six flavors are vegan, and I also enjoyed the fact that you can eat so many of these babies (34 to be exact) for so few calories (120-130, depending on the flavor).  While the ingredient lists are not flawless, they are quite good, especially for packaged snacks.  Choosing these over most pre-packaged salty snacks, like chips, is certainly going to be the healthier option in most instances.

I have established that I love this product.  But do you know what really stinks?  I cannot find them anywhere in my area! 🙁  I have requested them at a few of my local grocery stores, but I am still waiting to see if they get them in.  I tried requesting them at my local Whole Foods, but was told that they are only available in the Canadian Whole Foods warehouses.  Ugh…so disappointing!  I really hope that people get their act together (and soon!) so that I can enjoy more of these yummy snack sticks.  If you have them in your area feel free to send me a bag or two ;).

    Oh YUM!!! I would love to try these! Although I'm not usually a fan of BBQ chips, all the other flavors sound awesome (sweet potato? cheddar? yum!), and maybe I would like these BBQ ones! I would certainly give them a try if I could. And sometimes good 'ole sea salt is the best! :) I will be on the lookout for these!

    Oh these sound perfect as a snack - especially the sweet potato ones!! I have never even heard of these though... I doubt they are in my area either.
