Amys Spinach Feta Snacks
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Sep 6, 2006
A box of Amys' Spinach Feta Snacks comes with about 15 snack pockets which is considered 2 servings. One serving is 170 calories, 6 grams of total fat which is 9% of the daily value, 3 grams (15%) of saturated fat, 18% of the RDA of cholesterol (430 mg), 7 grams of protein and 24 grams of carbohydrates which is 2 grams of fiber and 3 grams of sugars. There is also 50% vitamin A and 15% of the recommended daily amount of calcium and iron. One box was $2.50, which is quite reasonable. I could see using these as appetizers at a small - mostly because they are really cute. They actually look like envelopes. They do contain milk and cheese ingredients, so this might not be for you if you are vegan. Taste:

tanya [admin] said: The recall of Spinach is specific to the brands listed by the FDA. The latest updates and recalls can be found here. From what I understand, the recall refers to uncooked spinach - cooking tends to kill E.coli and Amy's spinach snacks are processed. |

Amy's Spinach and Feta Snacks mini sandwich pockets made from organic wheat and whole wheat flour with spinach inside. Best of all, they can be done within 10 minutes in a toaster oven - which, in this case, is a better method than using the microwave, because they come out with a nice crispy crust. The snacks while tasty are a bit bland and I did not taste the feta cheese at all. It was mostly spinach in a pocket and I wished there was something to add a bit of creaminess and to spice it up a bit. Maybe some salsa? That is my secret ingredient in everything!

This also looks good, although I should probably pass because of the cheese and milk. I wonder if 170 cal is worth the 7.5 or so pieces I can have...
