Taste Test Tuesday: Amy's Cheese Pizza Snacks
For the kids or for the parents?
It was time to try these little pizza rolls. I had bought them a few weeks back during a trip to Whole Foods and thought it would make a nice finger food for kids. But as I stood there over the toaster oven, eagerly awaiting these toasty little pizza rolls "made with organic tomatoes and flour" I had to wonder, were they for the kids or were they really for the parents?
This brand's version (Amy's) seemed a lot more wholesome than another brand of pizza rolls that is more commonly available in most supermarkets. 6 of these cheese pizza snacks (rolls), which is half of the little box, is:
* 190 calories (a good amount for a "snack")
* 9 grams protein (it's good for snacks to have some protein, the snacks are more satisfying and long-lasting)
* 22 grams carbohydrate
* 7 grams fat (3.5 grams saturated fat, 0 grams trans)
* 10 mg cholesterol
* 2 grams fiber (I'm glad it has some fiber at least)
* 390 mg sodium
* 15% Daily Value for Calcium
The first five ingredients are:
Organic wheat and whole-wheat flour
part-skim mozzarella cheese
organic tomato puree
organic lowfat milk
grade AA butter.
How do they taste?
You could tell the pastry part was made with some whole-wheat flour but I liked that about it. I also liked that there wasn't anything "greasy" about these - true finger foods! Good flavor. I recommend microwaving them for a minute then popping them in the toaster oven to finish the cooking (350-degrees for a few minutes).
