review – I don’t snack very often, but when I do, I like to choose snacks that are low in carbs, healthy in fat, and taste good.Last year, I reviewed Blake’s Seed-Based Crispy Rice, a few weeks ago, Blake’s Seed Based sent me samples of their new Snacking Seeds. Let’s take a look at these delicious snacks.
What is it?
Blake’s Seed Snacking Seeds are snack-sized bags of roasted sunflower seeds that are vegan, hypoallergenic and free of artificial ingredients.
Flavor, Ingredients and Taste
Blake’s currently sells snack seeds in three flavors. Available in Mala, Himalayan Salt and Honey Roast. They sent me spicy and Himalayan salt. Since they didn’t send me the honey roasted flavor, I’ll just talk about the flavors of the other two snack seeds.
Blake’s Seed Himalayan Salt Snack Seeds
The Himalayan Salt flavor at Blake’s Snacking Seeds is just plain sunflower seed kernels and salt… Himalayan Pink Salt. Check out the ingredients below.
Each bag provides a generous amount of seeds with 200 calories per bag/serving. As far as taste goes, they almost taste like butter. Ok!
I like that they are only 4g net carbs per serving, which makes them Keto friendlyand they also have 6g of protein.
Blake’s Seed Himalayan Salt Snack Seeds
I don’t like the spiciness of eating seeds. I wish they would taste like BBQ, nachos or taco seasoning, but to my taste buds they have an oddly smoky flavor and noticeable heat.
Maybe it’s the mustard powder that turns me off because I don’t like the taste of mustard. Note that snack seeds in this flavor contain the same calories per serving (200), but they are 5 grams of net carbs instead of 4 grams like the Himalayan Salt flavor. If you’re not familiar with the term net carbs, you can subtract fiber from total carbs.
what do I like
- cleaning ingredients
- Manufactured in an allergy-free facility
- low carb/keto friendly
what would i change
final thoughts
You might be wondering why you should consider buying these sunflower seeds instead of other mainstream brands of sunflower seeds you can find at your local grocery store. I think the biggest reason is that Blake’s emphasizes that their snacks are allergy-free and made in a certified nut- and gluten-free facility:
Blake’s unleashes the power of seeds in each of their treats.Seed-based nutrition helps create a
A safer environment for people with and without food allergies.Seed-based means Black is free
From the “top 9” allergens that most people with food allergies are affected by, including
Peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, eggs, dairy, fish, shellfish and soy.All Black’s Seed Treats

Aside from people with allergies, people like me who eat low carb or keto like to keep daily carbs very low to keep blood sugar levels in the normal range. These snacks from Blake’s Seed Based help do just that, while offering clean ingredients and portion control service.
price: $14.99 for a box of 12/bag
