Sunkist Almond Accents - really good!

For anyone who misses croutons on their salads, try these. I've found them in Wegman's and the Shop Rite, though Shop Rite had a better selection. They're only 1 g of carb/Tablespoon. And they're crunchy! The only thing I don't recall is the sodium content...
Have a great day!

Hmmm, I've seen these and often wondered about them; I'll have to check them out again. I use sunflower seeds on my salads.

Lee Anne, Can you list the ingredients for us?

I guess I'm a little confused about not limiting carbs, I thought that was the point to the first phase, to avoid all those processed high carb foods.
Thanks! Lee Anne
Lee Anne the website didn't list ingredients.. I'm guessing the honey would NOT be SBD ok, except in later phases.

I agree, I couldn't find the ingredients either. I'll try to post from home, with the bag in front of me! I'm assuming that the ones I have don't have any added sugar in them based on the fact that there is only 1 g of carb. I guess that is what I was trying to say earlier.
Time for lunch!

I had learned some time ago that the order of ingredients is supposed to indicate how much of each was in it, so the first ingredient is the largest quantity and so on. So there is some sugar (corn syrup solids) in the ingredient label, but it can't be much because Sugars are listed as 0g under Total Carbs.
I think its a good option for someone who's on the go and wants something crunchy for their salad. But I suggest if you pack a salad for lunch, then pack these separately, because they get soggy!
I agree the honey ones are probably out unless they use an artificial sweetener.

Hi Lee Anne,
Why not just throw some nuts on top of your salad.
