“Clean Eating with MAXIMUM YUM!” That’s the tagline that greets you when you on the Dena’s Fuel for Fitness homepage, and I’m inclined to agree! Dena’s makes a line of raw & vegan snacks that are just as delicious as they are nutritious, full of real whole food ingredients like blueberries, pumpkin seeds, apples and other fruits.
They make crackers, including
- Beet-apple with orange and dill
- Blueberry orange coconut (my favorite!!)
- Mango raspberry basil, and
- “Green”, made with edamame
They also make Vege Chips and Granola Grub, which both sound good, but I haven’t tried them.
My #1 flavor for certain was the Blueberry orange coconut (pictured above). The crackers themselves, because they’re raw, are soft but SO flavorful. You could literally taste each flavor, in each bite. I shared them with my friend Cindy who isn’t vegan (and doesn’t really eat raw other than salads and that sort of thing), and she loved them! All the fruit gives them a natural sweetness which makes them a more satisfying snack, at least emotionally, in my opinion.
They come in a super handy resealable bag, and are only 109 calories per serving (that’s 4 crackers). 4 crackers aren’t mean to be a meal replacement of course, but are absolutely enough to give you some pre-workout energy, or to curb those mid-afternoon cravings. They retail for $6.50 and they carry them at Whole Foods in a couple of states. You can also order them online.
And the company is from San Diego which you KNOW I love – (San Diegooooooooo State!)
Here are the Mango raspberry with basil. Yum…

I have a terrible habit of snacking at night. Not good for my weight loss plan!
(There’s no comment entry option on the Rafflecopter BTW)
Thanks for the heads up, it’s fixed now!
I snack at nighttime, when I like to read, too. I love healthy snacks, so I don’t feel too guilty about it!
carrot stick snacks all day!
I always snack at in the afternoon. It gives me that little boost I need to get through the rest of the day!
I always snack in the afternoon. It gives me that little boost I need to get through the rest of the day!
I never get hungry during the day, so I’m a huge evening snacker (terrible, I know). I try to keep healthy options on hand like raw veggies with hummus or whole grain crackers when I’m feeling snack-y. These crackers sound really delicious, hoping to win!
i am not a big snacker. or i try not to be. i keep stuff with me for blood sugar issues just in case.
I snack most at my job, and I use the term snack since I eat things that are very hands friendly. I work in framing so having apple pectin on my hands isn’t a good thing.
4 PM….holy crap….I have a snack. But then that snack turns into like ten different meals and I’m STILL starving for dinner two hours later! How am I underweight?!
3:30 pm is my danger zone time. I have to have a small snack then, or I’ll ruin my supper!
I snack all the time. I snack when I’m bored, happy, angry, before bed, because I worked out, because I plan on working out, while I’m cooking. So I try to snack on healthy stuff, like carrots or roasted soy nuts. That’s not always how it works out, but I’ve definitely gotten better about not eating complete junk!
I typically snack once around 10:30 or 11am, and then again in the afternoon, around 3:30 or 4pm, and then again while I’m preparing dinner. These snacks look perfect!
I snack late at night after my 3 year-old son has gone to bed and I’m catching up on the shows I like….prob not the best time, but I need ‘my time’!
I like to snack on fresh veggies and hummus or mixed nuts.
I try NOT to snack. But when I do, i like vegan raw crackers and Miyoko’s new cheeses!
I really need to start snacking healthier.
I am such a snacker – or as I like to call it, a “grazer”. I usually have a morning snack and an evening snack, with lots of small snack-like meals in between.
I have been eating clean for the last 6 months at only certain times of the day so it keeps me from mindless eating.
I’m a serial afternoon snacker–it’s not my best habit. And the snack must be savory: edamame, roast veggies, brothy soup.
I’m not much of a snacker, but when I backpack, I need to snack healthy to keep up my energy.
I tend to snack on cookies but am trying to find healthy alternatives.
I most like snacking after breakfast, before lunch.
I snack pretty much all day! I love snack foods.
I like to snack in the mid-afternoon and late evening.
They are bad! I snack on fruit and vegetables when available, but also snack on junk when it’s around.
I usually eat one meal a day and then snack the rest of the day. My snack choices aren’t the best, but I am working towards fixing that.
I’m a mid-afternoon snacker. It keeps me from overeating at dinner.
I snack on and off though the day.
