Since we are a family of six, with two teenage boys and two tween girls, I bet you can believe that we go through a lot of snacks at our house. We keep lots of healthy snacks stocked in the kitchen. We have fresh fruit, cheese sticks and wheels, whole grain crackers, hummus, and fresh veggies on hand at all times. (We also keep some of the not so healthy options available just in case we need something sweet.) But sometimes we just get bored with the same old thing every single day. So when Oloves offered to send me a few samples of their flavored olives I was game.
Oloves
lovely little olives high in loveliness, low in calories, no stones, no fuss – just the best snack going!
Oloves comes in 4 distinct flavor combinations:
Basil & Garlic – Plump, succulent green olives lovingly marinated with a sprinkle of zingy Basil and Garlic.
Chilli & Garlic -Juicy plump olives bathing in spicy Harissa and fragrant Garlic.
Lemon & Rosemary - Fresh green olives infused with Lemon, Rosemary and Garlic.
Chilli & Oregano -Big Juicy olives seasoned with a little cheeky Chilli, Garlic and Oregano.
a whole lotta love gluten-free, low in fat, vegan-friendly and 100% kosher. what’s not to love?
So I have to say that my kids were skeptical at first. We decided to try the Basil & Garlic ones first. As soon as I opened them the delicious aroma of pizza filled the space. After that all of the kids were willing to give them a try. They bag was empty in less than a minute. I had no idea that olives could go over so well with kids! The pouches come with at least 10 olives in each, and with only 50 calories per pouch they are perfect for a 1 person snack or a smaller snack to share. Really, I would say a perfect snack for 2 to share. With 6 people, 2 of us only got 1 each.
Next I put the Lemon & Rosemary on a salad that I was having for lunch. It was a perfect accent to the basic salad that I usually have for lunch each day. The olives are marinated so it added just a little “sauce” to the salad that I found I didn’t need much, if any Italian dressing.
Oloves have been picked up and can now be had on several airlines including: Jetblue Airways, RyanAir, Monarch, Norwegian Air, Iceland Air, and many more.
You can find them here at OLOVES. You can look up local stores in your area that carry Oloves.
I am so happy that I can add another snack to our list. I love that these are versatile too. We don’t just have to eat them alone, we can add them to salads or have them with crackers and cheese. I will definitely be buying these soon!
