Need A Wholesome Snack to Tide You Over? Meet Enerchi Bites!

enerchiThrough my new friends at Undiscovered Kitchen, I was contacted by two sisters in Boston who were tired of looking for the ideal healthy snack. They decided to make their own and they are called Enerchi Bites. Annie and Marla say that their days were “filled with long hours, short breaks, and time on the road and at the desk, leaving them little time to snack healthfully.”

The sisters went in their kitchen and created a healthy, tasty snack that comes in bite-sized portions. Each bite weighs in at only 50 calories so you can grab a few and eat them along the way!

Enerchi Bites come in 3 flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Cocoa Date and Coconut Oatmeal Raisin. I received a sample of each flavor to try. I brought the Apple Cinnamon and Coconut Oatmeal Raisin with me to the Rock and Roll Half Expo and shared them with my  CEP Compression co-workers. There was no “real food” to be had. There were four of us so we each had one of the 4 pack. Everyone loved the wholesome, delicious flavors. We all agreed that we could taste each ingredient and that we were surpringly sated after two pieces (50 calories each). My favorite of the two was the Coconut Oatmeal Raisin. I loved the oaty, light flavor. The bites are not too sweet, but are just sweet enough for me. The Cocoa Date is rich with cocoa flavor but not at all sweet. I want to say it is almost savory. I really liked the taste. I thought for a minute that it was “cacao” which I don’t like as much. So I was really even happier with the taste than I expected to be. I will try these as fuel for running and biking, too. I think the clean profile and natural flavors will fit the bill for me.
