Ever have one of those days where you just want to munch on something salty? Afterwards, you are so mad at yourself for indulging on a high calorie snack that you didn’t need. I do this all the time and then have to eat a salad for dinner to stay within my point limit for the day. Because of this, I am always looking for a healthier snack that can also satisfy my cravings. Recently, I was introduced to Somersault Snack Co. and have been hooked ever since!
Here is some information about Somersault Snacks from their site: Somersaults are the result of our quest to create healthy, tasty snacks for people who want more than just empty nutrition. Disenchanted by unsatisfying snacks, we set out to create our own to share with other active people, just like us. What we discovered on our quest was a surprise — the sunflower seed! We learned that seeds are the new nut, offering the perfect blend of protein, fiber and balanced nutrition with an excellent taste. Each of our Somersaults flavors are made with simple, all-natural ingredients of the highest quality so you can feel good sharing Somersaults with your whole family. We invite you to share in the unexpected pleasures that Somersaults offer, with crunch, zing and a little zest for adventure!
These tasty little treats are available in five all-natural flavors–Pacific Sea Salt, Salty Pepper, Santa Fe Salsa, Dutch Cocoa, and the brand new Cinnamon Crunch!
Somersault Snacks was nice enough to send me over samples of all five of their flavors. I was immediately thrilled to see that they come in resealable bags for the 6oz bag and are also offered in snack size options of 2oz or 0.5oz. The smaller sizes are great for lunch boxes are an on the go snack. Next, was the taste test, and of course I grabbed the Dutch Cocoa sample first. They were good, but I wasn’t quite sold. Hubby went for the Santa Fe Salsa and he was a huge fan. I then gave the Pacific Sea Salt a try and I can now officially say that I am hooked. Between those and the Salty Pepper, I have to stop myself from going through the whole big bag. Wyatt even liked them and has taken them for his snack. Overall, these snacks are a huge hit at my house and I love that one serving (14 pieces) is only 4 WW point plus value.
The best part about these snacks, other than their tastiness, is the fact that they pack a healthy punch! They are made with sunflower seeds, which have 4x more antioxidants than blueberries, more fiber than an apple, and 50% more protein than almonds! So, while you are induldging, you are also doing something good for your body.
Somersault Snacks can be purchased nationally by the following retailers: Whole Foods, CostPlus World Market, Caribou Coffee, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Ralph’s, Wegman’s, Fred Meyer, Raley’s, 24 Hour Fitness and Vitamin Shoppe.

The Cinnamon Crunch sounds yummy, I am always on the look out for a healthy snack for the family. I did not know that sunflower seeds had 4x more antioxidants than blueberries, sure was surprised to see that.
Thank You for sharing.
