That's It: First Brief Look
Boy, it's a cloudy, rainy day again in southern Ontario. During the earlier part of the day yesterday, there was a lot of loud thunderings in the sky. Not the case today. Anyways! For this entry, I'm here to take a look at a website called "That's it". I know, that's quite a generic name, and it's funny considering that it doesn't specialize in generic products at all. Quite the opposite actually. I'll take their official blurb from their About Us page and quote it below:
We only use natural, non-GMO fruit and veggies sourced from organic-practicing farms. Our goal is to make eating healthy snacks easy and stress-free. No washing, cutting or peeling required. Plus, we don’t add any preservatives, colors, or try and trick you by adding sugars and renaming them high-fructose syrup. Our products have 5 or fewer ingredients that you can pronounce.
Whether you are headed to the gym or in between work meetings we have a snack for you that you can feel good about.
That's it.® products are non-GMO, vegan, kosher, and gluten-free. We are Paleo certified and Whole30 compliant."
So know you may have a better understanding of why they call themselves That's it: because when you read their simple ingredients, you'll probably be like, "Wow, that's it?" So the name is pretty clever if you ask me. It's refreshing to see a health and diet website that does revolve around all those junky powders, chemical-filled bars and "magical" weight less pills. Those types of products will never be discussed or looked at on my blog. I'm not into pill this, pill that, at all. Now time to take a look at 5 of their products and then comment on them. Oh, before I do that, let me be honest with you by telling you three things:
1. I have not used, or in this case, eaten any of their products up to this date
2. This post is not sponsored. Probably very obvious, as nothing has been sponsored on this blog to date, just in case you may have been under that impression when you see the "Contains affiliate links" at the bottom of each blog post that has been monetized with such links.
3. All images belong to That's it.® and are being used fairly for the purpose of discussion and commentary.
Apples, apricots and dark unsweentened chocolate? 😛 Yes! I don't know about you, but apricots taste great in jam, great on their own, so I can just imagine how good they'd taste with apples and chocolate. At 52g, it does look like these packages are probably quite small. As disclosed above, I've never ordered them before, so I might dead wrong on that. They could be larger than what 52 grams may seem.
Between the Apple+Cherry versus the Apple+Strawberry combination, I just had to pick this one for my list. Why? Well, duh! It's because it sounds much tastier to me! 😆 Strawberries are sweet and all, but cherries are even punchier.
So as you can see on the package itself, this is one of their Zest offerings, for self-explanatory reasons. Why eat a zesty bar? Because it can spice up your mood a little, and wake up your taste buds. "No duh! Everybody knows that, GuuzakaTube" And if you literally just said that after reading that sentence, then LOL! 🤣 This combination sounds really good, without being over the top with zestiness. Can you imagine if they used cayenne pepper alongside the ginger? 🔥🤯🤪🔥 Yeah, I think my use of emojis there sums it up.
Have you noticed something yet? 🍎 Every product they have, save for the not-so-tasting-looking-vegetable bars, all have apple combined with something else. For those that don't know, it's probably to keep costs down. If this entire 35g package were to be made entirely of organic mangoes, it would probably cause it to cost a lot more, as opposed to mixing it partially with a cheaper fruit like an red iPhone 8 plus apple. A lot of companies do this, so That's It certainly isn't the only one that does this. In fact, almost every company does this. That said, pure offering of course exist, but as such, they command a higher price. Detail diving aside, apples and mangoes sound wonderfully good together. They taste great on their own, so why not mash them together and see how you like it?
Another Cherries+Apple recommendation? Why not? Surely, there are other products, but because I'm writing this, I'm only focusing on the things that would interest me, and potentially you, the most. Now unlike the other products I mentioned earlier, this one obviously does not have chocolate in it. So if, for whatever, you don't like dark unsweetned chocolate, then you'll naturally choose something like this over the chocolate-laden version.
Wrap up
So! This has been it for my entry on this healthy snacks website. It does not look like these guys have a YouTube channel, so I couldn't make any notes on that. If you found this entry helpful or have tried any of these products before, comment below and let me know. 😎🍎🍐
