Last month I enjoyed Lesser Evil’s healthier version of chocolate chip cookies (check out our review here). With healthier ingredients, I felt good eating the cookies instead of feeling guilty. Lesser Evil boasts high-quality ingredients added together to produce healthier snacks for your family, so this week, my family tried their Lil’ Puffs veggie blend.

Our 2 1/2-ounce bag came from Thrive Market for $3.29. That’s very comparable to Gerber’s puffs, which you can find at Walmart for $2.47, but Lesser Evil gives you a whole ounce more of snacks per package.

Glancing at the nutrition label, I thought the ingredients listed were reasonable and simple, but there really wasn’t much nutritional value. Other than a little bit of carbs, sodium and fat, there’s not much to these puffs. I wondered how the nutrition compared to Gerber’s puffs, so I found Gerber’s nutritional facts on Walmart’s website. I noticed that Gerber adds several vitamins and minerals to their product. Otherwise, the list of ingredients for both puffs was similar. As a mom, I prefer the snack with more nutritional value.

Lesser Evil’s puffs really were quite tasty, though. My four-year-old likened the snack to popcorn and gobbled them up by the handful. There was a slight saltiness and good fluffy crunch.

However, my two-year-old did not approve for some reason. She ended up feeding her puffs to the dogs who were more than happy to snatch them up. IMBHO, maybe.

Lesser Evil hasn’t convinced me to choose their product over Gerber’s puffs just yet.
