Fit Joy

There is a reason that I have an entire day of the week on my blog (Fridays, if you haven't caught on!) dedicated to reviewing snack foods.  A simple reason: I eat a lot of snacks and love trying new things.  Somewhere along the way, I picked up some products from Fit Joy.

"We like to let everyone in on the deliciousness. All of our products are free from grain, gluten, dairy, nuts & soy."

The brand premise is simple: everything is "fit" for anyone, e.g. free of all the major allergens, gluten-free and vegan, etc, etc.  They make two main product lines: pretzels and crackers.  I've tried only the former.

Pretzels

Pretzels are available a sticks (plain sea salt only) or as little twists (sea salt, tangy dijon mustard, hatch chile lime, cheezy white cheddar, everything bagel).  All are gluten-free and vegan (yes, including the "cheezy" one).

Tangy Dijon Mustard.

"We feel your hunger pangs. But they’re about to come to an end thanks to a brilliant blend of tanginess and dijon mustard flavor baked into every bite of our grain & gluten-free pretzels."

I tried the dijon ones.

These are fascinating pretzels.  They look a bit ... pale and orange, so slightly off putting visually, a sign that they aren't "normal".

They are considerably more crunchy that standard pretzels, in a way that makes you aware they are likely gluten-free or at least non-traditional ... but not in a bad way.  I actually really liked how crunchy they were.  The base flavor was sorta familiar like a malty pretzel, but just a bit different.  I see they use cassava, potato, and chickpea in the base, but I didn't taste any of those distinctly.

The seasoning on them was fairly strong, and very savory.  I didn't necessarily think, "oooh, dijon mustard!" but I tasted garlic and onion and lots of savoriness.  

Overall, I liked these odd crunchy pretzels, and would gladly get them again. 3.5/5.
