Like many people, the last quarter of the year is my favourite time of the year. The festivities actually start right from October for me when I am getting ready for Diwali and probably end after I have finished wishing everyone a Happy New Year. In between there is a lot of cooking, eating, gifting and a whole lot of activity in my kitchen. Irrespective of the cuisine or mode of cooking, one thing that compulsorily finds its way into my pantry are nuts. Nuts are handy because they can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. From an Indian Badami Murgh (Almond Chicken) to my favourite pesto-s and all the nut-meal enriched cakes in between, I am constantly snacking on nuts while working on a recipe. So I was delighted when I got an opportunity to review Lucky Smart Snax and discovered their fabulous range of snacking nuts and seeds.
Lucky is a well known brand in Australia and I have been using their products in cooking/baking since the time I have stepped foot in Sydney. You cannot miss their products when you are walking past the Nut and Dried Fruit aisle in the supermarkets. The Lucky Smart Snax range has now been extended to include 6 new products. Each of these products have been specifically formulated to meet individual needs. These delicious mixes are a smart way to snack when hunger strikes. The resealable bags make it perfect to store it in your home, car or office which means you can enjoy the healthy nutritional benefits of nuts anywhere!
Dont’ forget to checkout the Lucky Nuts website for more information.
Here are the 6 Lucky Smart Snax Range products that I have sampled. Each of them are consistent in quality, packaging and taste.
Lucky Smart Snax Digestive – Oven Roasted Almonds, Peanuts, Hazelnuts, Cranberries, Sunflower Kernels and Pepitas. This pack s a source of dietary fibre to help maintain a healthy digestive system.
Lucky Smart Snax Recovery – Oven Roasted Almonds, Peanuts, Cashews and Pepitas. A good source of protein, a vital nutrient that is important for body systems, growth, muscle development and recovery from exercise.
Lucky Smart Snax Women- Cashews, Almonds, Brazil Nuts and Walnuts. This product has been formulated keeping in mind the busy lives that Women lead today and the nutrients that we need in our bodies to deal with our day to day demands. It is a source of Vitamin E, iron and good monounsaturated fat, as well as calcium folate and selenium. This is such a great idea!
Lucky Smart Snax Cardio – Almonds, Sultanas, Cranberries and Blueberries. This is a delicious mix of natural almonds and berries – to keep you pumping through each day.
Lucky Smart Snax Power – Oven Roasted Peanuts, Almonds, Walnuts, Hazelnuts and Dark Chocolate. Gives a boost of natural energy. The mix of oven roasted peanuts, almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts combined with dark chocolate make this a perfect snack to help you power through each day. Now, if you know me, I am slightly biased towards this one. Nuts and Chocolate…you know where I get all the energy from-)
Lucky Smart Snax Low Carb – Brazil Nuts, Peanuts, Pepitas, Almonds and Walnuts. This one is a tasty mix of nuts and seeds that is perfect for people watching their intake of carbohydrates. Nuts and seeds are one of nature’s super snacks and fit perfectly in a balanced diet.

Cardio because I love the combination of the crunch of the nuts, the sweetness of sultanas and blueberries and the tang of the cranberries.

“Oven Roasted” sounds honey in my ear. I love roasted nuts. But ( there is always a but when it comes to healthy side) nut get categorise under fat but (again) good fat. My problem always is how to stop when I started it. Any advice please ( except asking me to stop before I go through the whole packet please)
