Grounded Snacks - Vanilla Chai Baked Grain Bites

So, I only ate these because they were about to expire, but honestly they were better than I expected them to be! Initially I wasn't that into them, but the blend of cinnamon, vanilla, and (I guess?) chai is really pleasant and sweet but not TOO sweet. It mainly tastes like cinnamon and vanilla. The texture is light and puffy; these chips are gluten free so they're made of rice and other grains (but not weird chickpea flour or any legumey stuff). It was very easy to eat the entire bag, but I guess there are less healthy snacks out there you could eat instead. These remind me a bit of the cinnamon twists at Taco Bell, in both taste and texture. They also seem fairly nut-free, aka they have a legit online allergy policy.


Overall
Cost: 5/10

Grounded Snacks - Cinnamon Sugar Red Rice & Quinoa Tortilla Chips

A tortilla chip that isn't made from corn is a pretty cool concept, now that I think about it. The fact that these are all organic/non-GMO whatever and made out of quinoa, I thought maybe they'd be super healthy (not so) or taste really unique (not so). But these are a decent sweet snack. They're just standard tortilla chips without a strong corn flavor, with a nice dusting of cinnamon sugar. Good crunch, nice brown color, and not too savory (I don't like those sweet/savory mixes). I wouldn't ever really seek this out, but it's totally fine and enjoyable enough to snack on (I went through almost all of it watching some late night Grey's Anatomy).
