Okay, product reviews for food items don’t last long around my house and this one was no exception! Mario Snack Olives are definitely going to be added to my future shopping list. Here is a bit about them:
Product Description:
New Mario Snack olives are a healthy alternative or cookies, chips, or other snacks. The olives are without brine, but lightly coated in olive oil to stay juicy and delicious. Available in 3 mildly seasoned flavors, garlic, chilli, and kalamata with thyme. They come packed in convenient 100 calories pouches.
The Review:
I was surprised and in a good way. These snack packets of olives are moist and tasty! They are packed loose without any juice and still have a juicy rich taste without the mess. The olives are pitted so there is another worry you don’t have to attend too. They come in three flavors and I tried all of them and so did my 8 and 6 year old sons. By the way I think I found a new healthy lunch box snack, I’ll tell you more in a moment. Here is the play by play with the flavors:
Kalamata Olives seasoned with Thyme: I’m a big fan of these Greek olives although I could do with the thyme. My 8 year old loved them, but my 6 year old was also not loving the thyme.
Garlic Olives seasoned with Thyme: Loved these even though they had thyme. If you like a more traditional olive then I suggest this one. Both of my boys enjoyed this one.
Mild Chili Flavored Olives: Yes, They are mild with a little bit of spice and by far my favorite! My youngest didn’t try these, but my husband and 8 year old tried them. My husband liked the interesting taste and pulled out some cheese and wine to enjoy these as a snack. He was right- they were so good! My 8 year old missed the wine and cheese, but ate an entire package by himself and said he loved them! At 100 calories a package I think he’ll be finding these in his lunch box! No problem.
My Suggestions: The husband and I like to picnic and these are going to be a new addition to my picnic basket! Without a jar and without the juicy mess and all of the taste these are nice change. Also as I have said before this will be a great addition to the lunchbox for my boys as well as, my husband. Since my husband commutes theses are an easy snack that you can place in your pocket and go. When you are done you just toss the wrapper, no need to worry about containers!
