I’m not sure how I stumbled onto this Foodie PenPal hook up. I’ve told you my brain is a sieve, right? Well, it TRULY is! I can’t remember what I did THIS WEEk let alone something that happened like a month ago. *shrugs* It’s just the way I roll!
In any event, Lindsey at the Lean Green Bean had a Foodie Penpal program that she started and blossomed into lots of bloggers and blog readers alike sending packages of food to each other. I mean, who could pass that up? Getting food in the mail? Something new and different to use and try? I know right? Who could say no to THAT! I sure couldn’t!
Well, it’s reveal day today and I FINALLY get to show you most of what I received in the mail. Yes, there was a very hungry Saturday where I nibbled on some noshes from the box. I couldn’t help it. They were SCREAMING EAAAAAAAAAAAAT MEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Mariell from HealthyPantz sent me an awesome box of goodies!! She strolled through my blog and latched on to the portable food ideas from our hiking travels and sent me a bunch of healthy snackies to take on our trips!

Immediately I was excited to see the Kind bars. NOMZ! Love those! Especially the cranberry one, which has mysteriously disappeared from the box. 😉 I love Seapoint Farms dry roasted edamame, too! They’re a yummy source of protein in a nut.

Curry flavored pretzels? I DID NOT know such a thing existed. I will have to look for these Mary’s Gone Crackers pretzels. Sometimes I put curry powder on my popcorn at work.

I will be taking these Mighty Leaf Organic Breakfast tea bags to work. That’s where I drink my tea. And yes, the cranberry Kind bar is missing. These are delicious and if you haven’t tried them, DO!

Okay, failed at making my own roasted chick peas but have since made some delicious pizza chickpeas. I’m interested in trying these out from The Good Bean. And who doesn’t love pistachios?

Um…there were two of these That’s It bars. They are FANTASTIC! I don’t think I’ve seen these here, but I will be looking for them. Just fruit Sweet, yummy, fiber-licious fruit.
This Oh Yeah bar is going on the next hike…which at this rate will be May. We have to pack to move.

I think 479 Degree Popcorn this is the item I’m most interested in trying. I’ve never in my life had ANYTHING truffle. Seriously! I’m not kidding. Not even truffle oil flavored stuff. But since I love popcorn so much, I can’t imagine not liking this 479 Degrees Popcorn.
Mmmmm mangoooooo! I think I’m going to mix these Trader’s Jos mango with the freeze dried bananas I have to make some granola. Mango, banana, pistachio almond? S doesn’t do coconut, so nix that idea. Pineapple?

And a gorgeous card with a nice note. The painting is Bridge at Villenueve-la-Garenne by Alfred Sisley.
Thank you Mariell from HealthyPantz for this tasty box of treats. I can’t wait to try them all and have LOVED the two I have tried. Some of these will probably go with me as a mid morning snack at work.
AND a HUGE thank you to Lindsey at the Lean Green Bean and the Foodie Penpal program. I can’t wait to see what I get in the mail next time!!
