The other week I was in New York visiting my girlfriend and her mother made me a Keto goodie bag. Inside was some hot sauce and different kinds of flavored almonds. I had never seen these before but I do like my occasional nuts for a late night snack or to have on the go. I had a small bag of Cheddar Bacon Almonds and a bag of Buffalo Blue Wing Almonds. This is also something you could probably make on your own. If you want to roast your own nuts, I highly recommend using an air-fryer!

Ingredients

Buffalo Blue 4oz Bag: Almonds, Salt, Contains Less Than 2% Of The Following: Garlic Powder, Buttermilk Powder, Non-GMO Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Palm Oil, Gum Arabic, Erythritol, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Paprika Oleres (Color), Spice, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia), Medium Chain Trigylcerides

Cheddar Bacon 4oz Bag: Almonds, Salt, Contains Less Than 2% Of The Following: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Buttermilk Powder, Non-GMO Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Palm Oil, Erythritol, NonFat Dry Milk, Anhydrous Milkfat, Cheddar Cheese, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Gum Arabic, Onion Juice Concentrate, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia), Medium Chain Trigylcerides, Smoke Flavoring, Torula Yeast, Garlic Juice, Annatto (Color)

Macronutrient Profile

A 4oz bag of either flavor comes in at 13g fat, 6g protein, and 1 net carb (4g carbs, – 2g fiber – 1g erythritol). It’s not bad. Obviously, if you’re doing pure 100% carnivore or 0 carb this won’t be an option but if you can have a little bit of nuts, this is a good option that has pretty good macro ratios for a ketogenic diet.

Taste Profile

These nuts are damn good….too good! I actually would probably not buy these simply because I’d probably over eat them. But hey! That’s me. Both the Buffalo Blue and Cheddar Bacon tasted like the flavored almonds that you’d find in a supermarket or pharmacy but these, you could tell, were of much higher quality. One big plus is there’s no nasty seed oils like soybean or canola oil which almost every brand of more mainstream flavored nuts has. The cheddar bacon tasted more cheddar-y and less bacon-y. The Buffalo Blue tasted like a Buffalo Wing dry rub you’d find at Buffalo Wild Wings but couldn’t really taste the blue cheese.

Overall

Overall I’d give these nuts a solid 8.5 out of 10. I would like to see the flavors a bit richer, however, overall this a good quality nut with good quality ingredients and would highly recommend you give them a try. Just be careful that you don’t overindulge!

Where To Buy

You can order these nuts here. You can also buy their flavored nut butters as well which look absolutely delicious and will try for a future post!
