Smart Snaking with Skinny Chews

A month ago I was contacted by Skinny Chews, a new product developed by Canadian Nutritionist and author Dr. Joey Shulman.

Created by best-selling author and health expert Dr. Joey Shulman, Dr. Joey’s Skinnychews are made from all-natural ingredients and offer top quality nutritional benefits. The product is naturally sweetened with brown rice syrup and evaporated cane juice, and free of artificial colours. The chews also contain inulin, a natural soluble fiber made from chicory roots that has been shown to help satiate, stabilize blood sugars and help with digestive health. Inulin also adds nutritional value to different types of food while improving taste and texture.

According to Dr. Joey, Skinny Chews are the perfect chocolate option for cravings and nighttime eating.

What makes them such a great option?

• They are less than 20 calories per chew (18 calories/chew)
• 4 grams of inulin fibre per serving
• No artificial sweeteners or colours
• Gluten Free
• Individually wrapped for the perfect “on the go” treat to pop in your purse

But as with anything, what it really comes down to for me is taste.  Something can be super healthy but if it tastes super icky then I’m not going to eat it – but I like Skinny Chews!  They remind me of tootsie rolls, and Suzi likes tootsie rolls!

Canadians might be interested to know that the brand took off after Dr. Joey’s appearance on CBC’s Dragons’ Den, after which she formed a partnership deal with Arlene Dickinson.  I love it when you see brands/companies on shows like that and then see them in real life.  It makes reality TV just a little bit more real!

Where to purchase: Available at retail stores across Canada, find Dr. Joey’s Skinnychews at GNC, Whole Foods, select Loblaws, Longos, McEwan, Pusateri’s, Shulman Weight Loss Clinic, and a number of local health food stores.
