It’s time to upgrade your summer with Walmart favorites, Sabra hummus, Blue Diamond Nut-Thins and Blue Diamond Gourmet Almonds!
When it comes to summertime snacking, there are a few key features that come to mind. For one, you want something that is shareable and easy to bring to BBQs, pool parties and the like. You also want a snack with high-quality, good-for-you ingredients that can be paired well with countless other things. With so many options on the market, sometimes it can be a little overwhelming when deciding what to get. Lucky for all of us, Walmart is a one-stop shop when it comes to summer snacking and entertaining. Sabra and Blue Diamond products can easily be found in-store — and really, are there any better snack items than crackers, hummus and flavored almonds? I think not.
I’m a hummus fiend. It’s always in my fridge, and it’s my go-to dip to bring to parties especially in the summertime when outdoor picnics and pool gatherings are prevalent. Whenever I want to switch it up from the classic original flavor, I tend to opt for something on the sweeter side — like roasted red pepper. Sabra is the brand I know and trust the most when it comes to hummus, especially their Roasted Red Pepper variety. There are tons of options when it comes to dippers for hummus — fresh veggies, crackers, pretzels, pita… I’ve even added it to salads and bowls with proteins like tofu or lentils. But today, we’re going nuts — literally — and using Blue Diamond Nut-Thins, made with real Real Blue Diamond® Almonds. These wheat- and gluten-free crackers are crispy and crunchy, have no artificial flavoring, and are the perfect pairing to Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
There’s no denying it — Blue Diamond Nut-Thins and Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus should make an appearance at every gathering you attend all summer long. I broke a golden rule during a Cinco de Mayo pool party, and instead of serving chips and guacamole, I brought out Nut-Thins and hummus. And guess what? No one missed the guac. #SorryNotSorry.
Having sustainable energy during those long summer days in the sun is crucial, and snacking on a handful of nuts is ideal for healthy protein and nutrition — even more so if they have great taste! Blue Diamond has released a new line of gourmet-flavored almonds that are out-of-this-world delicious. These shareable, handcrafted, chef-inspired Garlic, Herb and Olive Oil Almonds are made with only high-quality Nonpareil almonds, and can easily be incorporated into a spread of delicious snacks. Add them to a cheese and charcuterie board, sprinkle them into a salad or slaw, or simply pour them into a big bowl and enjoy them all on their own.
