Adopting healthy lifestyle starts by eating right! We all know this but a bit difficult to follow for me at least. I munch on anything and everything…healthy and junk both!! Bad actually because the benefits of healthy food is taken away cruelly by the junk that I gobble down.
Garden Picks – The Dried Fruits and Nuts Company reminded me to be on track when they sent me this box of healthy goodies consisting of dried fruits, nuts and seeds. I tried them out, tasted them and liked them!!
Coming straight to the point, let me share more about the goodness that Garden Picks offer!
This is what I got for try-out:
Black Forest Granola
This pack I tried out first and liked the most! I loved it because this the Granola version of my favorite Black Forest Cake.
Consisting of Toasted oats mixed with chocolate buttons, coconut chips, tangy cranberries, honey and vanilla essence, it’s absolutely delicious when eaten by the mouthful. An energizing snack when you are busy or on-the-go!
The coconut chips that are added to this pack taste awesomely crunchy and yummy. I ate it just like that – from the pack to the mouth! Did you notice the zip lock the pack has? Good no? Easy to store, easy to open and easy to eat.
Superfood Granola (Chia)
Chia seeds we all know is called as “Superfood”. It makes you feel full for longer time and hence can be used when you are on diet. Chia seeds also have been known to increase energy level and are loaded with fiber, protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and various micro nutrients which support the immune system.
Superfood Granola (Chia) is one of the easiest ways to get your superfood fix is with tasty granola. You can try some recipes with it. Example: I added some portion of it to Banana Smoothie. Tastes great!! Kids will love it too…
Superfood Granola (Quinoa)
This version of Granola contains another superfood – Quinoa seeds!
It goes perfect with almost anything that shouts wholesome and delicious – yogurt, fruits, almond milk. This Superfood Granola (Quinoa) pack comes loaded with plant-based proteins, lovingly mixed with berries, currants and seeds, and lightly dusted with coconut, to fuel you up.
This dash of coconut that Garden Picks have added to its snack packs really make it drool-worthy…
Black Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to raise HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol that helps protect against heart attack and stroke). Chia seeds are also rich in antioxidants and full of fibre, magnesium, zinc, iron and calcium.
You can use this pack to make delish Chia seeds recipe. I am trying out some of these.

Organic Tri-Color Quinoa
This power food, though often referred to as a grain, quinoa is actually a seed from a vegetable related to Swiss chard, spinach and beets. High in protein with nine essential amino acids, this seed is not fattening and it is a smart carb, meaning complex carbohydrate with a low glycemic index, so it won’t spike your blood sugar.
Again, loads of recipes can be made from Quinoa seeds. Sprinkle them on your salads or use them in smoothies OR make patties for your healthy burgers. Options are way too many.
-
Garden Picks packs that I tried out were absolutely very fresh and crunchy. Refrigerate them to keep the freshness intact.
-
You can taste the high-quality ingredients lingering on your taste-buds.
-
I also found that they keep you full for longer time and you can actually use it as meal replacement. I am going to work on this point more to confirm.
-
The zip lock makes it very convenient to carry when you are on-the-go.
-
It would be great if Garden Picks mention more detailed nutritional info on the packs. Like fat contents, protein contents etc.

I always love Chia seed as it good for health. The dried fruits and nuts is good for health and I take it as snack.
The black foreat granola is definitely my fav. I actually mix up dried fruits with cereals and eat for breakfast!
I loves these kind of easy to go pack and they are perfect for kids school snack or for office.
Yum yum… I love all these especially the superfoods quinoa and chia seeds. It’s sad how all these food are really expensive to have daily.
They do have a lot of healthy pick up food here. This can really be a handy food for outdoor activities.
This looks like healthy to eat. The better part is that it can be mixed with other food or smoothie. It’s good that you shared their beneficial qualities.
This looks like the perfect healthy foods to have in the pantry! So awesome! 😀
Wooow. This is a perfect deal for lunch. I think this will be a healthy input. Thanks for sharing
I loved these products for my daily food intake because it gives healthy status for my system. Dried fruits and nuts are very delicious when you want it during night time. Healthy foods are for us to digest and consume by limitation.
Wow! That’s a lot of granola, perfect for various recipes! I really love packages like this, aside from your usual smoothies, you can add this in homemade ice cream for the summer!
like the zip lock packaging, it’s convenient! so many healthy choices now, consumer like me is spoilt!
What an amazing package to receive. These are expensive stuff. I have tasted Chia and liked it, I did not know you could buy a whole bag of it like this. Quinoa I have long heard of, but I never tasted it yet.
I would be excited too if this came in the mail for me. Granola is something that I really enjoy especially during the morning! It’s perfect for pretty much any smoothie recipe and simply adding a dollop of greek yogurt will make this more lovely!
wow such a healthy and hearty snack you have do for your family and kids! I never knew that we actually blend the nuts!
Such healthy snacks your got there. I’d be munching on them all day long as they are. Once I start, I can’t stop.
i love garden picks’ dried fruits and nuts for snacking! the chia seeds is great too! i use them to bake chia seed bread.
Oh, I don’t think I can find those products here in my city. I have always been interesting in trying chia and quinoa. Your lucky to receive those gifts!
Nice compact healthy snacks to put in the office! Which one did you prefer?
