Smart Snacks: Bagel-fuls & Brother’s All Natural Crisps (Giveaway)

I know some of you are like OMG she’s forever talking about food. Well, Sheena likes to eat and when she finds something that tastes yummy, she’ll mention it. Food makes her happy, *cheese*.

Since becoming a mommy, I don’t have much time to prepare breakfast, so I just grab what I can. When we shop for groceries, I make sure to grab items that are easy to prepare. If I do get breakfast, typically I’ll eat oatmeal, a breakfast roll, or fruit. I just recently added Kraft Bagel-fuls to the shopping list. Bagel-fuls are bagel sticks conveniently stuffed with cream cheese. They come in plain, whole grain, strawberry, cinnamon, and chive flavors. You can toss them in the toaster, microwave, or eat them straight out the fridge!

bagelfuls Smart Snacks: Bagel-fuls & Brothers All Natural Crisps (Giveaway) I was sent samples of Strawberry and Whole Grain Bagel-fuls. I tried the strawberry first and instantly fell in love. I then tried the Whole Grain Bagel-fuls. At first I didn’t like them because I had gotten used to the sweet taste of the strawberry flavor. I prefer sweet tasting cream cheese. After I gobbled up both boxes of Bagel-fuls, Greg and I searched for them at the grocery store. We couldn’t find them. I was crushed, lol. We ended up getting a bag of bagels and a cup of strawberry cream cheese, since I had become addicted to the strawberry Bagel-fuls. A few nights ago, Greg was able to find Bagel-fuls and brought home the Cinnamon flavor. I love them just as much as the Strawberry. The Strawberry and Cinnamon flavors remind me of Aunt Annie’s Pretzels. If you love Aunt Annie’s, you’ll probably enjoy Bagel-fuls. I now have to refrain from eating Bagel-fuls around the clock or else I won’t have any for breakfast! By the way, I eat them cold! I’ve never been a bagel-warmer-upper. Calories In Bagel-fuls: 200 or less depending on flavor.

Brother's All Natural The next snack I’d like to introduce are Fruit and Potato crisps by Brother’s All Natural. Potato Crisps are free of every type of oil, fat, and grease found in traditional and baked potato chips. Brother’s All natural freeze dries fresh sliced potatoes to lock the healthy nutrition naturally found in potatoes. The same process is used to create fruit Crisps. I happily snacked on the Szechuan Pepper and Fresh Chives and Fresh Onion and Garlic Potato Crisps along with the Fuji Apple and White & Yellow Peach Fruit Crisps samples that I received. I just wish there were more in each bag!

I think these are great snacks to introduce to children as they are healthy and fun to eat. I’d definitely want Jayden eating these over traditional chips, not saying there’s anything wrong with traditional chips! Nothing wrong with a splurge here and there. Calories In Potato and Fruit Crisps: 45 or less depending on flavor.

Win some snacks! 2 lucky winners will receive all four flavors of Brother’s All Natural Crisps mentioned and a coupon good for one box of Bagel-fuls! Just leave a RELEVANT comment on this post. Great/Nice Giveaway. or Ooo pick me. comments are not acceptable, sorry! Winners will be chosen on June 26th at 7PM CST. I can only ship to residents in the US!

Thank you for the chance to win.
Katie on June 19th, 2008 11:39 am

I have only tried the plain bagafuls and they need some flavor so next time I am going to try the cinnoman or strawberry. I haven’t tried the chips but would like to. Thanks.
tanyetta on June 19th, 2008 1:02 pm

I’m always on the go. I’m looking forward to trying these snacks out.
Sheliza on June 19th, 2008 2:05 pm

Yum, both products sound so good. The bagel product sounds like a good idea for busy moms (and that I am!) Those fruity chips sound so yummy! I like apple chips so I would definitely want to give them a try.

I really like the sounds of these snacks. I’m constantly on the lookout for new snacks because I’ve given up my old naughty favorites like cheese puffs, etc. The Brothers chips sound flavorful and satisfying while still being guilt-free. As for the Bagel-fulls you completely sold those with your review. If you liked them that much, I believe you! Thanks for the giveaway!
Carly on June 19th, 2008 7:51 pm

I love bagels but stay clear of them because they are loaded with calories. NOT ANYMORE:) Bagelfuls are 200 calories or less and come in so many great flavors. The cinnamon and strawberry sound delicious. I cant wait to try them:)

I have heard about both of these products. I have a great-niece who is overweight and I would love to win the “Crisps Snacks” for her!
My family would enjoy trying the Bagel-fuls. My two sons are always in a hurry for breakfast. Please enter me in your drawing.
Many thanks, Cindi

The bagel-ful sounds great. I’m needing to try them and the snacks with 45 calories! Wow.
tangie c on June 22nd, 2008 12:09 pm

I’ve seen the Bagel-fuls on TV and thought about buying them, but wasn’t sure if they’d be all that good. I’m glad I read your review, I’m going to snag a box to try out!!! I have to be out of the house, ready for work, and get 3 kids ready for school! We HAVE to have things like that around or we wouldn’t get to eat breakfast!!!! And I like that they are a bit healthier than other breakfast on the go foods. We just tried Eggo stuffed french toast, I thought they were gross, but my kids loved them!
BARBARA JONES on June 22nd, 2008 2:53 pm

GREAT FOR A QUICK BREAKFAST AND SNACK FOR WORK WHEN THERE’S NOTHING TO HAVE THERE
Melissa on June 22nd, 2008 4:42 pm

They sound great!
Vikki C. on June 22nd, 2008 5:26 pm

I think the bagel-fuls sound wonderful for those days when you need to grab something and dash out the door. So much more portable than a traditional bagel. I would love to try these, and the Brother’s chips, I have not tasted either, and they both sound great!
judy brittle on June 22nd, 2008 6:07 pm

the bagel-fuls sound really good. if you say they taste like aunt annies pretzels you sold me. then it has to be a good snack thats good.
Kathy Conley on June 22nd, 2008 7:34 pm

I, too, am looking for healthy snacks for my kids and would love to try these!
Teresa Hoyt on June 22nd, 2008 7:55 pm

My kids love these kinds of snacks and I don’t have to feel guilty for giving them something so healthy!
amanda h. on June 22nd, 2008 9:15 pm

The bagel-fuls sound good, I’ve seen the strawberry ones in the store but I perfer more plain tastes I didnt know they came in Whole Grain, now thats more my style! I will have to try to find them. Never heard of the All Natural Crisps, the fruit ones sound the best!
Erica on June 22nd, 2008 9:36 pm

My kids love the strawberry bagel-fuls! They make a great quicky breakfast or snack.
bridget b on June 23rd, 2008 11:53 am

Susan on June 23rd, 2008 5:52 pm

#1 - I love Auntie Anne’s pretzels - anything that tastes like them has to be amazing!

#2 - I usually just grab a couple of pieces of toast on my way out the door for breakfast. BagelFuls would take about the same amount of time and yet it would give me much-needed variety!

#3 - I am always looking for tasty and healthy work snacks. These chips sound wonderful!

Thanks for the great contest, and encouraging me to work my commenting skills!

I would really like to try these health snacks.
Brooke on June 25th, 2008 6:44 am

After reading this, I am CRAVING something crispy. Please pick me!
Anne G on June 25th, 2008 8:44 am

I’m not so sure about the bagel-fuls, they look a little odd! However, I just love healthy snacks - the easier the better (I’m not called “lazy” for nothing), so I’m sure the Crisps will be delicious!
Quiskaeya on June 25th, 2008 8:48 am

I could have one of those bagels right now. I am so hungry.With the baby being sick from teething I was luck to get a gulp of water down. Both snacks are great recommendations. Love the natural factor on these snacks.

These sound delicious, can’t wait to try them
tidemon on June 25th, 2008 12:58 pm

Hello,
Personally, i can’t wait to get these delicious snacks as i am always on the go with two children under 9 yrs-old. It is becoming difficult for me to manage getting up at 5am to get myself ready for school (im a FT student) or for work (FT work) while getting the children ready for summer camps!! Just talking about it makes me thirsty!!

Thank you in advance for the offer!!!!! =)
philip halter on June 25th, 2008 4:14 pm

chips are so good
Bobbye F on June 25th, 2008 4:21 pm

I saw these on the shelf the other day at the grocery store and almost picked them up, but we are trying to stay within our grocery list items for budget reasons. My kids and I love bagels and want to try these very soon!Now the Fruit and Potato crisps I am not too sure about, but I will try anything once! LOL
Jennifer R on June 25th, 2008 4:54 pm

These sound so good - I would love to try them!
Pamela White on June 25th, 2008 8:51 pm

Kristie Noguera on June 25th, 2008 9:58 pm

I am all for potato based snacks and the bagels look delicious too. Thanks.
Samantha Pruitt on June 26th, 2008 4:26 am

ooo, both these products sound really good, i’m always trying to find a healthy snack, or at least a healthier snack that tastes great, since that’s what i usually eat when i’m at school all day. These sound like they would be great!
Heather C on June 26th, 2008 5:14 am

I’ve been searching for some cool new snacks for my daughter. I’ve learned that the more things you try, the more brain power you gain…so we’re trying new things left and right. These sound like delicious things to try.
israel y on June 26th, 2008 8:42 am

Sylvia Porter on June 26th, 2008 9:03 am
