Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: This is a very flavourful product and does actually have that 'smokehouse' taste and has a sweet/salty flavour. It's super fresh and crunchy. The only hesitation lies in one of the ingredients: hydrolyzed corn/soy protein. Hydrolyzed vegetable proteins are potentially harmful, as they contain MSG, a known headache, nausea, chest pain, etc. trigger. I would not personally buy this flavour again, but I admit it is pretty darn tasty.
Where to buy: Freshco, Fortinos
Ingredients: almonds, vegetable oil (canola, safflower and/or sunflower), salt, corn maltodextrin, natural hickory smoke flavor, yeast, hydrolyzed corn and soy protein, natural flavors.

So, all ingredients are pretty harmless, save for potentially the hydrolyzed proteins, which contain MSG. The nutritional profile is great! For 170 calories, there's healthy fats, no cholesterol, and a nice dose of fiber and protein...not to mention vitamin E. A pretty wholesome snack relatively speaking. Enjoy!
