My friend Heidi got these "Embrace Your Inner Bean" snacks on a shopping trip we recently went
on together to the Overland Park, KS Trader Joe’s. We were hungry, so when we jumped in the car
we opened them and dug in.
No bueno.

| They LOOK cute, don't they? |
The TEXTURE is the biggest problem with this little snack
stick. It is too Styrofoam-y. They feel like little sticks of Styrofoam dipped
in some spices. But not MANY spices,
because they really don’t taste much. They
just feel weird on your tongue.
What we figured out they ARE good for is to serve as
little (quasi) edible chopsticks to dip into tzatziki and lift it to your
mouth!! We just kept piling on the tzatziki
and shoveling it in with these “Delightfully Crunchy Baked Black Bean Snacks”
(the package’s words, not mine). The package
says a serving size is “about 22” little black bean snacks – I can’t imagine
eating that much Styrofoam.

Overall impression – skip the black bean snacks and just
get the tzatziki. J

ReplyDeleteI actually ate the rest of the bag on the highway home just to stay awake on the solo drive. they actually do have a black bean flavor but then again black beans are not overtly flavorful.
ReplyDeleteI had to return an unopened bag after I finished the first bag. I ate it but it was terrible. It tasted like tortilla chips-- not bad, but not what I wanted or expected.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Sylvie! One bag to try them is plenty. It's times like that I'm really thankful for Trader Joe's amazing return policy. :)
