Join me as I make my husband try out delicious and healthy vegan, gluten-free snacks with me! Find out his favorites in my latest taste-test adventure.
Exploring Delicious and Nutritious Options Together!
Today, we delved into the world of gluten-free and healthier snacks, mostly vegan, with some interesting results. Joined by my husband, who isn’t typically a fan of these types of snacks, we embarked on a taste test adventure. From veggie crisps to protein chips and grain-free cookies, we sampled a variety of snacks and gave our honest opinions. Some were quite unpleasant, while others pleasantly surprised us and may become new favorites.
We shared our hilarious reactions to some questionable snack choices, identified the standout hits that won us over, and provided honest reviews on whether these snacks are worth buying. This taste test session was filled with candid opinions, laughter, and a few snacks that you might want to try for yourself if you’re looking for healthier snack options.

Hubby’s Vegan Adventure: Taste-testing Healthy Snacks Together!
Holy cow that’s sweet wow I love it hi my name is Ashton welcome back to another video we are doing another taste testing video today and usually I do shorts for these but I want to do more than one okay there’s a lot of snacks here and there is quite an array we have desserts chippy type things you know all the good stuff and they’re all.
Gluten-free and I have a husband who does not like healthy snacks and I’m going to have him give his opinion on them I’m hungry and I’m ready to try these snacks so first off let’s try these off the beaten path they have rice peas and black beans and let’s just say my body does not like beans but um I’m hoping I can get away with these I’m.
Wondering if they taste like rice cakes I feel like they’re going to taste like rice cakes 15 is only 130 calories 5 G of fat 19 G of carbs 3 G of fiber and 3 g of protein they don’t really have a smell here’s what it looks like it’s very crisp like like a chip they taste like a combination between a rice cake and those Harvest snaps that’s.
What they are I taste the peas they have a very pea flavor if you don’t like Harvest snaps I don’t think you would like these I’m trying to imagine like what these would be good to dip them in but honestly I don’t feel like a good combination really comes to mind like I think I kind of like these just by.
Themselves wo this one’s a lot different than the other one this is the only one that I see in the bag like this but it’s super thin mixed Toco ferals which is apparently an antioxidant I really like the ingredients in these and they taste good I like these I’m going to rate these a I’m going to give these a 9 out.
Of 10 I might throw some extra salt in the bag and shake it up but that’s just me because I’m a salt addict okay I’m interested to see what my husband thinks about these what even is this don’t judge it before you eat it like four oh my God what next let’s stick to kind of the same category and move on to another.
Chip these legendary chips these I don’t believe these are gluten-free are they yeah they are these are gluten-free keto friendly they do have dairy in them though I’m not supposed to have dairy right now but we’re just going to we’re going to have one and not talk about it okay this entire bag is only 150 calories with 6 G of fat 5 G of carbs 1.
G of fiber and 20 g of protein the first ingredient is the protein blend the second ingredient is Sunflower Oil and this does have whey and buttermilk and cheese and these are nacho cheese flavor I wonder if these kind of taste like the quest chips smells like Taco Bell holy cow they’re very light and rice cish they don’t give me chip Vibes.
They give me rice puff Vibes those are so good oh I hate that I can’t actually eat these those taste so good they kind of taste like Doritos oh my gosh they taste like sorry that was really dramatic they taste like a rice puff Dorito I really like these I think I’m going to have to rate these in terms of flavor a 10 out of 10 I really like.
These Oh no I got a line up going over here I’m going to try to line them up from my favorite to least favorite just want your opinion on me now what you’re rating 1 through 10 6 and 1/2 6 and A2 yeah I rated these so high I’m craving something sweet now so I think I’m going to try these um I’ve been wanting to try these for so stinking long these are the.
Ciete grain-free Mexican wedding cookies I don’t know what a wedding tastes like but it looks like it’s just covered in powdered sugar it kind of looks like a donut and I love powdered sugar five cookies is only 150 calories with 9 G of fat 17 G of carbs 1 G of fiber and 1 g of protein they are glutenfree and vegan as well they smell like the Ed animal.
Cracker cookies I was expecting this to be more of a fine powder like dry powder but it’s almost more of like an icing texture it’s kind of like an iced oatmeal cookie yum here’s the inside I don’t know like what that chunk is right there I really like these it’s kind of like a teddy gram it’s so crazy like tasting.
All these snacks they remind me of foods that I haven’t had in so long I can’t tell you the last time I had a Teddy gram it tastes like a teddy gam coated in icing I think I’m going to rate these in 9 out of 10 these are just behind those legendary chips but it’s so hard to categorize should we separate sweet and.
Savory I think we should do that we’re going to have sweet versus Savory okay I just decided this is number one obviously in the sweet because that’s the only sweet that we’ve tried so far here this one was my favorite one okay I’ll be surprised if you don’t like this one but then again you don’t like sweets so.
I’m five and a half okay what it’s too sweet okay all right let’s try another sweet this is a drink this is Bloom superfood latte blend it’s a hot chocolate but with mushrooms the ingredients are so simple cacao powder coconut sugar cocoa powder Rishi mushroom powder cinnamon powder 1 teaspoon is 15 calories with 3 G of.
Carbs a half a gram of fat4 g of protein that is so specific and I ordered this off of Thrive Market let’s see how to make this mix 1 teaspoon with boiling water pour over 1 cup of hot or cold fro milk and there’s 30 servings in here um is there scoop in here that’s what I want to know no I don’t see a scoop I am using the silk unsweetened vanilla.
Almond milk okay it’s currently mixing with like a splash there was a splash of water and then I did the almond milk I just heated it up for a minute let’s see if it’s warm yep just tuck my finger into freaking hot water or hot milk totally fine this does smell really good I’m curious if it’s sweet salty will I want to add salt or sugar I don’t.
Know it seems to be blending really well I really want like whipped cream on the top that’s hot it just it tastes like mushroom water like um yeah I don’t I don’t think I like that it definitely needs something it needs more chocolate flavor and something sweet in it and maybe some sort of like.
Vanilla note in it too I don’t I don’t know I’m trying to like it there’s just not a lot of flavor there it tastes like mushroom water like dirty water like if I were camping and I were to like purify my own water I don’t know if any of youall do that but that’s what it tastes like to me kind of just like dirty natural water Earth stuff but I do think.
That it can be thicked I think I maybe would add this maybe a smoothie or my coffee or maybe put more cacao powder and something sweet and a little bit of salt in this and make it taste better but honestly I’m sorry for flavor I’m rating this of one it just it doesn’t have any sorry Bloom not a fan but you’re healthy she’s healthy okay.
We’ll give her that and that’s just my opinion that’s just my my opinion could be different from yours and I’m going to tell you right now my husband is not going to like that I’m not even going to make him dry that one okay I also have to prepare this one it is the King Arthur gluten-free chocolate chip cookie and the first ingredient is rice flour.
But it does contain soy keep that in mind this little container is 250 calories with 9 G of fat 240 Mig of sodium 42 G of carbs that’s a lot 2 G of fiber I’m so interested in this 27 G of total sugar and 2 g of protein I feel like it just needs a little bit more protein if we’re going to be that high on all the other macros and micros.
Remove and discard lid add 1 tblspoon of water only one tablespoon what stir until fully combined microwave for 30 seconds that’s not long at all if product is not set add 5 to 10 seconds cool for 2 minutes enjoy here’s what the batter looks like I just don’t imagine this mixing very well but we’ll see oh my gosh.
There’s just not a lot in here there’s so many calories and such a tiny amount I really do want to eat the raw batter I am that person I feel like there’s a lot of chocolate chips in here all right let’s taste this batter even though not supposed to but I’m a rule breaker holy cow that’s sweet wow I love it holy.
Sweet it rose up like a mug cake it says cool for 2 minutes so I guess I’ll let this cool for 2 minutes in the meantime I’m going to try another snack I’m going to try chocolate chip cookie mini chocolate chip cookies these are gluten-free vegan kosher non GMO first ingredient is brown rice flour that seems to be a common ingredient in this.
Kind of stuff and it’s top nine allergen free I really like when I see that I don’t know why because I’m not knowingly allergic to anything I could be allergic to something I don’t know but I’m going to an allergist so we’ll see five cookies that’s a lot of cookies it’s only 140 calories 7 G of fat 19 G of carbs and 1 g of protein there’s no.
Fiber in here though which is interesting oh look how cute the little bar coat is That’s So extra I love it but it’s the little things you know they don’t really have a very strong smell but they smell good here’s what it looks like it does look like a small chips of Hoy cookie which is comparable to a cookie that I previously tried I can’t.
Even remember what brand those were and it is heart so it’s going to be a crunchy cookie so we’re going to have to do a milk test I love my cookies and my milk that was harder than I expected it’s good I think I don’t know why I’m confused it’s a little bit grainy a little bit too hard but I’m being very.
Very particular I’m going to just dip this in my hot chocolate and see how it dissolves because this is milk dip in cookies and hot chocolate is that a bad idea M no it’s a good idea okay that was so good I like it better moist than I did hard which is like my preference I prefer to dip my my cookies so that would bump it up a point.
But without the milk I’m going to give it I’m going to give it a seven but with the milk think might get an 8 and 1/2 and I recommend you trying dipping your cookies in hot chocolate I’m not I’m not trying to like trigger anybody but it didn’t taste bad oh my gosh what is this chocolate chip cookie.
Yeah it like a sod seriously yeah okay I feel like it was a little too grainy now let’s try this cookie which is really more of a cake this looks pretty dang good I’m not going to lie that is a chunk of chocolate though what in the world that was an experience still experiencing wow I.
Think that is the stickiest thing I ever tried on this channel it was almost like taffy like a cookie Taffy like it tastes good it’s a little too sweet which is saying a lot for me cuz I love sweet but it was sticking on in my mouth that was very odd if I were going to eat this again I think I would add some quick oats or something to.
This it’s still weird what the heck I can’t compare it to anything it’s so sticky almost like eating peanut butter I’m going to rate this a 4 out of 10 maybe once it cools off some more the texture will change we’ll try it again at the end of this video to see if it’s any better because that was so freaking weird I need something salty so let’s.
Move on to these hippies chickpea Puffs I’ve been seeing these for a while and I just haven’t gotten around and trying them it’s probably because my stomach doesn’t really like chickpeas but we’re going to try them anyway these are vegan white cheddar flavored the first ingredient is chickpea flour 20 pieces is 130 calories.
4 and 1/2 G of fat 19 G of carbs 3 G of fiber 1 G of total sugar and 4 g of protein so glad that this plant-based protein no nuts they’re vegan they don’t smell good they smell like cardboard and they look like animal treats not quite dog treats but some sort of animal treats that’s good they have a really good white cheddar flavor and they kind.
Of like disintegrate in your mouth which is weird but they’re good they’re an easy chew I don’t know if that makes sense but like I said they kind of like disintegrate like it only takes a couple bites before it’s gone I’ll give these an eight eight and a half you need that looks so unappetizing that’s like a one in terms.
Of me want to eat that I was actually really surprised by these 4 and A2 4 and A2 it tastes like a old Cheeto so picky this is spaghetti squash I freaking love spaghetti squash and this whole thing is a whole squash which is kind of cool I don’t know it’s just so simple the only ingredient is spaghetti squash and I love that and.
This whole thing is 120 calories 23 g of carbs 9 G of fiber 15 g of sugar no added sugar though 6 g of protein that’s interesting looks like seos I just love the Simplicity of this I could do this myself I have a dehydrator I feel like I could dehydrate my squash and do the same thing anyway you didn’t ask let me try.
This oh oh no I thought it would be crunchy what am I supposed to do with that this is so odd where’s the expiration date they expire next year I thought this would be crunchy I was so excited very leathery it’s hard to pull apart it’s not crunchy I thought it would be more chip-like I’m disappointed.
With that I’m not going to lie and I do have to put this in some sort of different container to store these now I’m going to rate these a solid one look at this ew like rotten seaweed that’s what set I am super excited about this next one so if I am disappointed with it I’m going to be very very sad th bellies I don’t know how you pronounce this and.
They soft baked confetti cookies this packaging is just so beautiful and intriguing this just looks so appetizing it’s like great American cookie type of cookie you know top nine allergen free gluten-free and vegan I just realized this is the same company as these chocolate chip cookies there are a lot of ingredients in here though two.
Cookies is 120 calories with 6 G of fat 18 G of carbs and0 g of protein 8 G of added sugar says they have a red velvet flavor I’m interested they don’t look as appetizing as as hoping they don’t look much like the picture I don’t know why I’m so conf confused about how I feel about these I have kind of a weird plasticky.
Aftertaste in my mouth and I definitely taste the salt and it tastes like a sugar cookie but like I said like I taste like plastic in my mouth right now it’s pretty crumbly for a soft cookie I think the sprinkles are like overly sugary I’m dipping in my hot chocolate right now let’s see if that makes me like it anymore so far I am a little bit.
Disappointed I’m not going to lie just makes you appreciate gluten containing and butter and milk containing baked goods so much more like just just give me the real stuff I’ll suffer cuz I have tried a lot of cookies at this point and just none of them are great except for those fud striped cookies that I tried they have dairy in them of course they.
Do they are so freaking good okay I do like it better dipped in the hot chocolate maybe it’s the hot chocolate I think I’m going to write these in eight what that gets a zero out of appearances I I know I didn’t look at like the packaging at all okay I like five five I almost almost.
Spit it out that’s gross I’m so surprised here take us up the water okay I’m going to try this again and see if it’s any better now that it’s cooled off even more nope I feel like I’m eating Play-Doh okay seriously please go buy it and tell me your experience eating this because I need to know okay it’s so.
Weird you don’t have to try this one it doesn’t taste bad it’s the texture is so weird I need somebody else to experience it fine send it yeah I mean sure what is that it’s chocolate chip cookie but it’s like in mug cake form oh my gosh it’s so sweet that’s like a warm that’s gross but it’s the texture more than the taste.
Right tastes like gross I don’t like that so when I first ate it it tasted like Play-Doh like it was like a Play-Doh it tastes like Play-Doh yeah it it wasn’t raed very well by either but anyway thanks for playing you’re welcome you’re a trooper I didn’t even give you the bad stuff let’s review for the Savory snacks my.
Number my number zero was the squash just make your own spaghetti squash okay and eat it freshh and warm next up these were so good number two is the hippies oh I guess if the other one was zero this is number one or wait if we’re ranking we’re going backwards so out of four the squash is four this is number three but very high up there.
Still just saying like honestly all of them were I would buy again except for the squash number two I need a bite of one of these just to clear the Play-Doh out of my mouth that’s not a good combo I’m killing myself a number one that I unfortunately cannot eat because they contain dairy I had to try them.
Anyway okay sh we had five sweets number five is the mushroom hot chocolate not good which I’m a little bummed about number four we have this thing number three these cookies I’m going to try these crumbled up in a ninja creamy hopefully that’ll be good I love everything crumbled up in my ninja creamy number two same brand different.
Cookie these chocolate chip cookies these are okay these are pretty good and then these were the best the ciete Mexican wedding brain free cookies these are really good I could eat these regularly I would buy these again $100 % all the other sweets I’m not sure I would buy again thank you guys so much for watching this video I hope you.
