Last week, we told you about the specific health benefits of almonds, and this week, we’ll stay on the topic and introduce our newest snack—almonds with a whole new twist. These aren’t the boring raw almonds filling the racks at Hudson News. Instead, these sensational seeds (almonds aren’t nuts, remember?) pack a punch, and they do it with a healthy flair.

See, our primary job at airfare HQ is deciding on our first principles. We came up with a science-based definition of what it means to be #actuallyhealthy, deciding on Day One to present only snacks that a) pass the strictest health scrutiny and b) taste really good.

No matter how healthy something is, if it tastes like cardboard, we’ll pass. Similarly, no matter how delicious a snack may be, only unsweetened, unoiled, gluten-free plant ingredients are inside, or we’re out. The Snickers Ice Cream Bar may be one of the great-tasting innovations of the twentieth century, but it isn’t airfare material.

That’s why we get so excited when we find our way to a snack that achieves both health and taste with flying colors. And a big shoutout out to airfare friend and partner Dre Gohlke for pointing us to our newest snack partner.

Introducing RECIPE 33: Flavor-infused, dry-roasted almonds

Dan Smith created the concept for RECIPE 33 in 2016 while going back to school. During late-night study sessions, classmates would always bring snacks, and his team loved flavored almonds. The problem they encountered was the messy seasoning that would remain on their hands, as well as the artificial ingredients often included.

Dan had the same thought behind countless other successful businesses: there has to be a better way.

He and his cofounders developed a small-batch process to take real ingredients and infuse flavor into each almond without any artificial additives or ingredients.

“The best part? None of the sticky, salty mess that comes with all the other seasoned nuts available on the market,” Dan said.

Just like many of our other snacks, from Earthy Krunchy Snacks to Sun & Swell to Healthy Truth, RECPIE 33 came from a desire for a quick, tasty option that maintains excellent health. And like his fellow snack-trepreneurs, Dan’s decision to find a better solution led to something unique.

One of our favorite aspects of RECIPE 33 almonds is that they contain actual bits of the outside-the-box flavors in each package. Think lemon rind and rosemary needles, dry-roasted bits of garlic, or pieces of serrano pepper.

Check out the options below and add one to your next order.

Lemon Rosemary

We love these in the early morning, when we want a subtle, uplifting flavor. Surprisingly refreshing.

Smoky Serrano

Wow—these have a kick. Make sure you have some liquid within reach.

Garlic Dill

Beyond the typical garlic flavor, the dill adds another level. Dill person or not, these are worth a try.

Black Truffle

We assumed this unique flavor might be overpowering—like many other foods with truffles—but these are very subtle. Subtle enough to eat multiple packs and not think twice.
