Very nice brand of chips. Just chips and salt, nothing else added. They are crunchy but not as crunchy as other brands. I don't like chips that are too salty, but, to me, these reduced-salt is a bit too reduced. For me, they would have needed of a tiny bit of more salt to be tastier. For the rest, lovely chips.

Shary Freeze Dried Strawberry Crisps 20 g, Small
This mini bag of strawberry crisps is just a great snack with no artificial ingredients added at all. Just dried frozen crunchy flavoursome whole strawberry pieces with a bit of sugar added. Just a bit, not overly sweet and it's also low calories. I would have loved the product au natural without sugar added to be honest. The description page fails to mention that the product has 3% sugar cane, as per my photo, which is important to know for diabetics or people with high sugar levels in blood. For the rest a natural healthy (or healthier than most) snack. A bit pricey for what it is.

The Happy Snack Company Roasted and Lightly Salted Fava Beans (6 x 25g )
I confess that I had a favourable bias towards toasted/roasted fava beans (broadbeans) because I grew up in the Mediterranean where this has always been around.
This is one of my favourite healthy snacks. Unlike many other healthy packaged stuff that I've tried, this snack is actually terrific regarding flavour, crunchiness and health ratings. Too many healthy snacks are tasteless, have too much sweetener, or still have sugar in them, or are not pure ingredients. Instead, this is a yummy crunchy flavoursome snack that is all natural, has no sugar, no gluten, no fats, vegan and, to top it all, it's made in Oz. Best thing, it's tastes great. I've also noticed that when I am hungry at work and have one of these mini bags as snack, it curves down my appetite for good.
I love this packaging with individual bags, as it's perfect to control portion size and to carry around in my small handbag, or to put in my lunch box or stock it in my office drawers.

Smith's Potato Chips Snack Mix Variety Multipack 20 Pack
This one of those lovely but naughty snack pot-pourri bags that I love. The bags small size is perfect for lunch boxes or just, as I often do, to enjoy the different flavours in small quantities. My favourite bags are the Grain Waves and the Crinkle Smith's. The other two varieties are also lovely, but they have more additives (colouring, preservative, etc.). The price per gram is obviously more expensive than if buy a full bag of one flavour, but that's the reason why I want a variety pack, because of the variety. They are also convenient for lunch boxes or to carry one in the bag when I do errands and want to have something nice at hand. All the varieties are flavoursome and crunchy.
Bains Wholefoods Chickpea Chips Original Flavour, 100 g
I'm always on the lookout for healthy snacks. This one appealed to me immediately as it is made of chickpeas, a product that I love. This snack is made of all healthy stuff, as healthy as it gets, mostly chickpea flower, peas, rice, spices and oil. No nasty preservatives. But it is not really chickpeas, it's a mix of chickpeas, rice, peas, sunflower and other stuff. That would be OK if the flavour was stronger. It is mild and lovely, with the chilly being just hinted, but nothing that invites me to buy it again. The crunch is barely there, and that's the main disappointment for me. It's healthy. Yummy? No.

Sunbites Grain Waves Sour Cream and Chives Wholegrain Chips 90 g
Grain Waves is one of my fav snacks due to the hard crunch and the delicious cereal-nutty flavour. This is the first time I try this flavoured version and it is yummy. It's on the sweetish side but very flavoursome. Looking at the list of ingredients makes my heart sink and, needless to say, it has more additives than the plain version. I usually buy snacks from Amazon because they're the same price as in my local supermarket, but this is not one of them. Yet, I had to give away to my craving.

Fanta Pineapple Zero Sugar Soft Drink 6 x 250 ml
This is the first time I try this Fanta variety and the last one. I love the small size packaging, which makes the tins perfect to carry in lunch boxes or in my bag when I have to do errands around and don't want to spend money on drinks. The flavour tastes, to me, of those ampoules with medicine that my mother use to give me when I was a kid. A very chemical non-pineapple over-sweet flavour.

Red Rock Deli Honey Soy Chicken Premium Potato Chips 90 g
RRD
chips are one of my favourite chips brands, and this Honey Soy Chicken
flavour is just spot-on re flavour and yummy for the rest. I love all
RRD flavoured chips, but this variety is one of the few that I buy time
and time again. Like all RRD chips/fries, these chips have the right
thickness and crunchiness. This brand is always more expensive than
others, but to me that's justified as they are one of the best chips out
there and this variety one of my favourite flavours ever.

Sprite Zero Sugar Lemonade Mini Can Multipack 6 x 250 ml
I hadn't tried Sprite zero ever and Sprite for years. These cans are perfect for lunch boxes, to carry in my bag on hot days, or use them with snacks at home. They fill in 3/4 or 4/5 of a tall glass, depending on the glass. However, the flavour is kinda meh, it tastes of water with sugar, no lemony or lemonade flavour anywhere. So, I won't buy them again.

Smith’s Fun Mix Variety Multipack Potato Chips 20 Pack
I love this mix of mini snack bags. I love all the flavours in the pack. These are great for school/work lunches, or to have at home when I fancy trying different snacks without having to purchase a large bag of each variety. I also love that there is an equal amount of bags for each variety, unlike other multi-packs out there. The only thing I really dislike is the amount of chemicals some of the varieties have.
Once I have finished the snacks I reuse the cardboard, which is good quality and flexible, for painting on it. I add a bit of gesso fist, though. It makes a great painting substrate for my artistic experimentation.

Smith's Toobs 75g MP5
I had never tried this before. The pricing caught me in. The mini bags in the parcel make a great snack on its own or as an add-on in any lunchbox, and they contain a generous amount of product. I love the Toobs crunchiness and lightness, but the plain paprika underflavour is not my cup of tea. Perhaps the unflavoured version is what I expected to find and what I would have loved, but I failed to see the product page list of ingredients, which clearly mentions the paprika, and also the many chemical products is made of, which are are a total turnoff.

Red Rock Deli Potato Chips Variety Multipack x 10 28g
This selection of small chips is one of my favorite multi-packs out there. This brand is my fav chips brand due to the quality of the flavors as well as the the thickness and crunch of the chips. I love this multi-pack, firstly, because it has 4 flavors that I really-really like (the honey-soy and the sea-salt my favs). Secondly, because I can easily pack these small bags in my work bag to have a treat at work myself, or to offer it to some of my colleagues, which also love them. Besides, sometimes I feel like having a snack, and having this small portion bags is great to control how much I eat. They're a bit more expensive that an equivalent large bag, but I like the variety and versatility of this pack.
