A handy item to have around during the holidays
In another effort to get away from eating too many chip snacks, I recently picked up a 34 ounce (that’s 2 pounds, 2 ounces for those of you who live in Haysville) canister of mixed nuts while shopping at Sam’s Club. Nuts are a nice alternative to chips because not only do they deliver some nice texture and a bit of crunch, they provide some protein and don’t have near the volume of carbs that chips do.
The Member’s Mark (Sam’s Club brand) Deluxe Mixed Nuts with Sea Salt consists of cashews, almonds, pecans, pistachios and hazelnuts. That’s a nice blend and they’re lightly salted with sea salt. Some mixes available out there can go a bit overboard with the salt, not so with these, they’re pleasantly salted, allowing the flavors of the nuts to shine. This is a great snack, all the nuts are fresh and overall the mix is balanced with exception to the pistachios. You get plenty of cashews, almonds, pecans and hazelnuts, but not so much on the pistachios. I’ll take that though, another downside to other brands of mixed nuts is they use peanuts as a ‘filler’ if you will, they go heavy on the peanuts and go light on the other varieties in their ‘blend’.
5 grams of protein and just 7 carbs per serving
Handy to have around during the holidays, I paid $11.98 for that jug of nuts, which is under 36 cents per serving! I’m giving Member’s Mark Deluxe Mixed Nuts with Sea Salt 4 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars. They’re tasty, wallet friendly with the only knock on the mix being a little light on the pistachios, but they’re a repeat buy nonetheless!
