Just the Cheese White Cheddar Cheese Snack

By: Liza | Oct 17, 2008

If you are in a low carb diet then Just the Cheese White Cheddar Cheese Snack is the perfect snack for you. And even if you are not - you can still get your crunchy fix from it. From their website "To make them we simply crumble our natural cheese into cookie cutters, oven bake and season to crisp, delicious perfection. Nothing else added." Basically it's crispy cheese, and let's face it, nothing beats cheese.

Have you ever fried cheese and left it a little bit too long that the edges were crisp and not as soft as the rest of the cheese? Well that's exactly what these snacks taste like. They are crunchy with a strong flavor but minus the oil of course because they are baked. If you love how cheese taste, you'll love these snacks as well. It's like you were eating a piece of cheese only crunchier and seasoned. There are a few reviews at Amazon.com and LowCarbFriends.com, and it seems that you either love these or hate 'em - but I am for the former - love, love, love 'em!

It's well known that cheese is not exactly low calorie, and a look at the nutrition facts revealed that there each 1/2 ounce serving (14 grams) has 75 calories, 6.5 grams of total fat (10% of the daily value), 17% of the daily value for saturated fat (3.5 grams), 12% of the RDA for sodium (275 mg), 5 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbohydrates.

Honestly, those are nutrition facts that only low carbers could love! They are available online at HeavenlyLowCarb.com for $3.19 a bag (1 ounce), which is quite expensive. Although I really liked this snack, the price and the amount of saturated fat are major deterrents to future purchases. But I know that there will be occasions that this will sneak it's way into my household.
