Did you here that?

Yup, for most of you, back to school time is starting to rear it's ugly head, right?

For those of you who had to school at home, you probably quickly learned what us veteran homeschoolers already know- kids will eat and snack ALL day, if home!

Now, many of you still don't know which direction your kids will be going- back to school, or school at home, but either way, you're gonna need snacks! And after the pandemic eat-a-thon, you're probably looking for healthy snacks that the kids will actually EAT!

I've got the solution for you:

Just the Cheese snacks are made from 100% Wisconsin cheese (and just cheese, no filler here!), that is baked into bars and mini bites. They are naturally low in carbs, gluten-free, contain no msg or wheat, and are low in calories! You might have seen their debut on Shark Tank, on TV too!

While most “cheese crisps” are air-dried,  Just the Cheese snacks are oven baked, caramelizing the cheese, which results in a cheesier flavor, and crunchier texture. The snacks come in 2 sizes:  bars and mini bites.

Miss Grace really likes both product types, but she was a bit more partial to the bite size mini bites, for 'more fun' while snacking! They come in five flavors: Grilled Cheese (blue), Garlic and Chive (dark green), Wisconsin Cheddar (purple), Jalapeno Cheese (light green) and White Cheddar (yellow). Each bag contains about 12 bites, and comes in at ONLY 95 calories! Because cheese is a protein, they also help to FILL you up and satisfy that craving you were having! Miss Grace preferred the Grilled Cheese and White Cheddar, whereas I liked the Wisconsin and Garlic and Chive flavors. Neither one of us where too big a fan of the jalapeno flavor, but we did find when crushed up, they made a great topping for King Ranch casserole!

The bars are also one serving each, and have ONLY  75 calories per bar.! That makes them VERY diet friendly! They come in 4 flavors: Aged Cheddar (red), Grilled Cheese (blue), Jalapeno Cheese (yellow) and Mild Cheddar (yellow). I really liked the Aged Cheddar and Grilled Cheese, whereas Miss Grace again gravitated to the Grilled Cheese and Mild Cheese flavors. Jalapeno lost out again, but we're just no big fans of that spice flavor. The only critique I have for them is that when you bite down, they tend to break apart very easily, so you might want to break them IN the bag before opening to avoid them going everywhere. Otherwise, they are the perfect snack to pull out at work!

We LOVE these snack packs and will definitely be purchasing them all year long! 

And they are super easy to purchase, as you can get them on Amazon , AND they are available with Subscribe and Save options, for more savings. Plus right now, some of the flavors have coupon savings! You gotta love that! You can also purchase online through Just the Cheese (they even have t-shirts!). Either way, you can check out  all the flavors in one of their four bar or five mini bite flavor sampler boxes. Or you can get everyone their favorite flavor, with their 12 bar one flavor packs, and 16 pack mini bite oneflavor packs! 

Which ever option you choose, their yummy, and your family will love them too!
