Ending Summer on a High Note With Blue Diamond Almonds

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds.

Since becoming a Blue Diamond Tastemaker, I have come to the realization that Blue Diamond has truly outdone themselves with the fun and innovative ways they have changed the face of almonds. Don't get me wrong, I will eat plain almonds all day long. I just like the way they taste naturally, but the different flavor varieties that they offer are simply irresistible! I'll take my almonds any way.... sweet, savory, plain, flavorful. I recently had the opportunity to try 2 varieties of Blue Diamond Almonds: Oven Roasted Blueberry Almonds and Salted Caramel Almonds.

As you can see, my family could not contain themselves and busted into the Blueberry ones before I even had a chance to snag a picture of them perfectly sealed. Oh well, life happens. Needless to say, the kids like them, and I'm super OK with that because not only do they have 5 grams of protein per serving and taste delicious, but it also provides a healthy dose of some very important vitamins and minerals. For example, they provide 30% daily value of vitamin E, 3 grams of Fiber, and a measly 25 milligrams of sodium. I'm happy when the kids choose these over sugar filled, unhealthy alternatives. I find the blueberry taste to be sweet and refreshing, and the perfect pair for a Summer day. Plus, they're PURPLE! 

The Salted Caramel Almonds are absolutely a sweet treat. When I first tasted them, I knew they would be the perfect pair with ice cream. They are perfectly crunchy, yet sweet like caramel with a touch of salt. It really feels like you are indulging in something fattening/unhealthy, so you feel guilty until you read the label. There are only 3 grams of sugar per serving! AND... they provide 20% of your daily value of Magnesium. I have no idea how true this is, and I am not a medical professional, but I have read a lot lately about the importance of Magnesium, and how almost everyone is very low in it. What a great and tasty way to boost those levels! Plus, as I mentioned before, it goes undeniably perfect with vanilla ice cream, if you have a sweet tooth like me. I suppose you could put it in yogurt if you are feeling a little healthier than myself, and Greek yogurt if you are feeling uber-healthy.

My goal is to eventually try every almond variety that Blue Diamond has to offer. Next up on my list is the Wasabi and Soy Almonds. I have heard all good things, so I need to try them for myself. My favorite to date are the Sriracha Almonds. Do you have a favorite Blue Diamond Almond flavor? If so, let me know in the comments!

These Oven Roasted Blueberry and Salted Caramel Blue Diamonds Almonds wrapped up our Summer deliciously, therefore, I give them 10 stars:
