đź©ş HEART Exam Review: Gluten Free Palace Deluxe Snacks
👑 Today’s “patient” arrived straight from Amazon Prime—The Gluten Free Palace Deluxe Snacks Care Package. Think of it like a goodie bag that just got admitted to clinic for a full workup. I’m not charting every single snack’s vitals today, but instead looking at the big picture: variety, value, and whether I’d prescribe it as a care package for someone I love.
❤️ H = Health
âś… Gluten free + dairy free âś…
Mostly portion-controlled snack packs (so you’re less likely to “overdose”).
Contains nuts, popcorn, chips, granola, and fruit snacks = hitting some food groups.
👩‍⚕️ Mini nutrition pearl: According to MyPlate.gov, snacks can play a big role in balancing your daily food groups. Look for variety—fruits, proteins, and whole grains—when reaching for something quick!
🍴 E = Eating
Here’s what came in my snack “EKG strip”:
Chips: Samai Plantain Chips (x2), Sensible Portions Veggie Wavy Chips (x3), Uglies BBQ (x1), Uglies Sea Salt (x1).
Nuts: Daily Gourmet Nut Mix (x3), Wonderful Pistachios (x2), Seapoint Farms Edamame (x2).
Sweet bites: MadeGood bars & bites (x5 total), Bobo’s Stuff’d Oat Bar (x1), Simple Mills Crackers (x1).
Fruit-forward: SunMaid Fruity Raisins (x1), GoGo Squeeze (x1), Black Forest Fruit Strips (x3), That’s It Crunchables (x1).
Popcorn lovers: Lesser Evil Himalayan Salt (x2), SkinnyPop (x2).
Love, Corn (x1).
👩‍⚕️ Translation: A healthy mix of “steady snacks” (protein & nuts) and “fun arrhythmias” (chips & sweets).
đź›’ A = Accessibility
Ordered from Amazon for $48.49.
Pricey, but easy to send to family or friends as a thoughtful “just thinking of you” package.
Variety âś…, though several duplicates (aka repeat heartbeats).
đź“Š R = Rating
🔎 HEART Exam Result: Sinus Rhythm ❤️
Variety = ✔️
Taste appeal = ✔️ (especially for my husband, who kept trying to sneak bites)
Price = âť“ (a little steep, but worth it for the convenience + surprise factor)
đź“Ł T = Tell Others
Would I prescribe this box? Yes—especially for someone gluten & dairy free who could use some cheer.
đź’Ś Mom? âś…
đź’Ś Sister? âś…
💌 My husband? ✅ (though I had to hide it in the pantry because he kept trying to “self-medicate” with snacks).
🏥 Final Diagnosis:
The Gluten Free Palace Deluxe Snack Box = a solid Sinus Rhythm âś…. Not perfect, but steady, safe, and snack-worthy.
✨
As always, this is just my opinion as your friendly neighborhood NP (but not your NP). For entertainment & snack-education purposes only. Stay safe/happy/healthy, friends! đź’–
