Snack and Go! With Lindsay Olives

Lindsay Olives came out with a new and more convenient way of eating olives. Their new Snack and Go! Olives are totally awesome and just what we needed. Seriously. I got to try a whole pack of these from Mom's Meet and Lindsay Olives for free through the Mom's Meet Blogger Program. 



As a mom of 3, I have to say we buy so many olives and they are always Lindsay Olives. There is so much you can do with them. So much fun to be had. Kids are the greatest when it comes to eating olives. 

My kids love to put an olive on each finger and pretend they are creatures from another planet. It is funny because I grew up doing the same thing with my olives. 

Olives. An unexpectedly fun food. Olives can be the start of any great recipe, delicious snack and the reason for the most laughter during dinner. 

Last night, while I was cooking dinner and all through dinner, the kids were playing with their olives and eating them right off their fingers. They even tried to use their silverware with the olives on their fingers. It quickly became a fun, family challenge. 



I personally love the taste of the black olives the best. Lindsay olives has 2 kinds of black olives Snack and go cups. They have whole black olives and sliced. The sliced olives were so great and convenient for our last-minute taco dinner tonight. I just broke open the seal and put some on our taco. Easy Peasy! 

Lindsay Olives are the best. You will not find anything more fresh and full flavored. Even the Pimento Stuffed Spanish Manzanilla Olives, or green olives as I call them, and the Greek Kalamata Olives taste delicious. This is more than just a kids snack. I take these to work and snack at my desk and in my car. I can even take these to dinner with friends. 

The best part of these is the to-go cups. No mess, no fuss. Just literally grab and go! 

These can sit out on a shelf until you open them but I strongly advise you to place them in the fridge after opening for them to stay fresh.

An interesting fact for ya: The pimento olives or green olives are actually picked before they are ripe and are usually stuffed with things like garlic and peppers to increase the flavor. Usually these are the most moist of the olives because of their marinating which makes them more oily. Then they are soaked in a solution that makes them edible. 



Black olives are actual ripe olives that are also marinated but tend to often be a little softer than green olives and not as moist, but are probably the most commonly used olives, either in recipes or as a snack. 



Kalamata olives are a dark purple olive that is also super moist from being marinated usually in olive oil or a type of wine vinegar. They really do have this kind of wine-y, fruity taste to them. These would be great in any Mediterranean or Greek style recipe. They would be awesome on top of a pasta salad.


These would be great for when packing those lunches for school and work. Olives provide a good source of Vitamin E, healthy fats, fiber, iron and calcium. They also may contain a high amount of sodium due to the curing process. This is a snack you can be proud of and I love Lindsay Olives because they are always fresh and delicious and they really pride on their quality olives. 

I got a whole stack of $1 off coupons and even a FREE coupon with our sampling pack. I took them to work to share with my coworkers along with a couple Snack and Go! cups. Boy, did they go fast. I think everyone in my office is an olive lover. Even the ones on a Keto diet because olives are high in good healthy fats and low in carbs. 




This has been a blast for us to try, and the girls loved playing with their Bento Board that was included in the sampling pack. They applied healthy snacks to the board and even used it to hold their healthy snack of olives as they were eating. 

This is a great way to start the discussion of healthy foods versus unhealthy foods, and if you show them how they love olives, they may be more willing to try other healthy foods. It is also a great way to share a snack and a good, quality moment with your kids. Or yourself if you want. 

These are a must-try, must-buy item that you really will love, if not for the convenience, for the flavor.
