A New Snack to Try!

9/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Post-run snackage is a hot topic with runners. We have our dietary routines and tend to stick with them. I keep a favorite protein powder, a favorite flavor of chomps, and the one preferred electrolyte beverage all in stock. And I’m not a fan of running out of my favorites. Runners also love to try new things. There are always new options becoming available, so why not check them out?  

We were recently given the opportunity to try Anytime Crisps by Extend Nutrition. The company advertises these as “all natural” snacks to curb hunger, provide protein, and control blood sugar for up to 9 hours. All of these are ideal attributes for a runner’s go-to snack.
Picture
We tried the White Cheddar and the Cinnamon Crunch. The White Cheddar flavor resembles a cross between a rice cake and a baked cheese puff. It had a very powder-dry texture. Not my favorite, but tolerable, and warranted a glass of water. The Cinnamon Crunch, however, was quite a nice snack. Perfectly sweet, clean cinnamon flavor, and crispy (I’m a sucker for sweet and crunchy). I found the snack to be filling and satisfying (I used them post-run along with my usual chocolate milk and also used them as a between meal snack). Overall, these seem like a great option for post-run snacks. When that long-run hunger monster rises, you want to eat everything in sight, and you will if the hunger is not tamed. For me, the Extend Crisps can subdue the hunger monster when added to my usual routine. I also enjoyed having them on hand for a different option for the between meal snacks. It’s a good alternative to the usual junk food I would reach for.
