Review: Signature Market Healthy Snacks Malaysia

Eating healthy in Malaysia has always been an expensive affair. Needless to say, healthy snacking is also something not many people in Malaysia are willing to do due to its high price point as well. But thanks to Signature Market, we don't have to worry about shelling out a lot of money for healthy snacks anymore.


So who is Signature Market? They are an online company that offers a great option of healthy snacks at affordable prices. They have snacks like nuts, dried fruits, and also organic products. Why are they so cheap? Because they purchase the products direct from the manufacturer and the savings are all passed on to their customers. They do not go through any brand owners, and there are no retail markups.
One other thing I like about them is their promise behind their products. They will only sell products that they are 100% confident on, and all products are of high-quality.


On top of being healthy, it's also very convenient as everything is done online, and you only need to go to their website to purchase their products. Shipping fees are a flat rate of RM10 per order, but if you purchase RM100 and above, you get free delivery. And judging from what they have on offer, I daresay the chances of you getting more than RM100 is quite high.

But enough of all these, why don't I show you a sample of what products they have.


Black Truffle Salted Egg Potato Chips, 100g, RM20.00
The Black Truffle range is one of their more popular ranges, and these chips are seasoned with Extra Virgin Olive Oil Infused with Black Truffle from France. The unique aroma and flavour of the black truffle is evident with every bite on the thick-cut U.S. Russet potato chips covered with salted egg! 

Finest Crunchy Almond Biscotti, 100g, RM16.00
For all biscotti lover, this is their all-new biscotti series. It is thin and crunchy, and full of almond aroma in every single bite. I have this as a snack with my morning coffee, and the taste of the biscotti perfectly complements my beverage.


Organic Chia Seed, 200g, RM14.00
Chia Seed doesn't need much introduction, and Signature Market's Organic Chia Seed comes from South America. 

A lot of health enthusiasts highly recommend Chia Seed as it helps in weight loss and has a high amount of antioxidants. But unfortunately out there, the price of Chia Seeds are always very expensive, with a small 200g packet reaching up to RM20-RM25 per pack. When I saw the listing on Signature Market, I was pleasantly surprised as it is only RM14.00 for a 200g pack.

Superior Pure Matcha Powder, 200g, RM15.00
Superior Pure Matcha Powder is natural tea with a bright emerald-green color. Matcha is made from high-quality young leaves of the tencha tree and kept away from light and oxygen to preserve its color and health benefits. Matcha beverage has survived this long because of the many health benefits it has to offer. Given that it is loaded with vitamin A, E, C and B-complex amongst many other crucial nutrients, it is a very popular product, which is why it is almost always sold-out on Signature Market's website.

This matcha powder is very versatile as it can be used a multitude of ways. You can use it to prepare the matcha spread for bread, matcha latte, bakery products or drink it as a tea. For making tea, you can put 3-5g of matcha powder and mix with water for consumption.


Cranberry Blackcurrant Mix, 300g, RM14 .00
This snack is perfect for adding a bit of sweetness into oats, cereal, salad, bread & cakes. A handful of this every day provides lots of phytonutrients for good health. Surprise your taste buds with the sweet, delicious taste of Dried Cranberries. Made with real fruit and good as a snack or in a recipe, they’re naturally cholesterol-free. Plus, they’re a good source of fiber and one serving of dried cranberries meets 25% of your daily recommended fruit needs.

One of the dried fruits I love to snack on is cranberries. The fact that these cranberries are organic is even better. 

Natural Peppermint Leaves, 50g, RM15.00
Signature Market Natural Peppermint Leaves is usually used to make beverages for health reasons. A pleasant warm, fresh, aromatic, sweet flavor with a cool aftertaste to wrap up your busy day or week.
For a perfect cup of Signature Market Natural Peppermint Leaves tea, rinse 2 or 3 leaves of Signature Market Natural Peppermint Leaves briefly with hot water and then added into a cup of freshly boiled water. Stir gently, infuse for 5 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Peppermint, while great as tea, is also a great source of keeping you awake. When I was younger, I love inhaling the cooling scent of peppermints and it keeps me alert and awake when I was studying. Now, all I have to do is just enjoy this soothing cup when I have a long day and it calms my senses.


Antioxidant Boost, 200g, RM16.00
This product contains a mixture of four anti-oxidant berries. Antioxidants are important for skin health which prevents aging of the skin. Antioxidants are beneficial in boosting immunity. Boosting your antioxidant intake can help provide added protection for the body against Heart problems, Eye problems, Memory problems, Mood disorders and Immune system problems.

I add these into my morning yogurt and they have enough nutrients to last me through the day.

Energy Booster Trail Mix, 170g, RM16.00
Need an energy boost during the day? Then, this trail mix is for you. It's got a great blend of dried fruits and nuts to keep you going. This snack is low in carb, high in protein snacks that satisfy your hunger between meals and improves your diet results. I always love to snack in between meals, but I always felt guilty for opening up bags of chips, so this Trail Mix was a welcome addition to my diet. Because they are low in carb, I don't have to worry about messing up my diet.

This Trail Mix contains Almond, Peanut, Cranberry, Apricot, Wolfberry, and Yellow Raisins.
 

Salted Vanilla Cashew Crumble (Expiry on October 2019), 120g, RM16.00
Part cookie, part cashews. Why not call it cashew crumbles? Signature Market will be launching a series of yummy cashew crumbles and Salted Vanilla Cashew Crumble is their introductory original flavour. After trying it out, I must say, they are delicious and not too salty that it dries your palette out. 

Also, they're really generous on the cashews, so having a packet like this for only RM16.00 is a steal as we all know cashew nuts are very pricey.

Roasted Pistachio in Shell Salted, 115g, RM14.00
Pistachios are one of my favourite Chinese New Year snacks. Their distinct taste always leaves me wanting more, which is a good thing, considering they are an excellent source of protein, antioxidants, and fiber. Not many know this, but they reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases by preventing damage to the body's cells. 

The antioxidants Lutein and Zeaxanthin are essential for eye health. Pistachios are a rich source of both of these substances. Eating a healthful diet, including pistachios, is a promising way to help prevent these eye diseases from developing.


 

Walnut Trail Mix, 110g, RM16.00
This snack is a premium snacks collection where only premium ingredients are used. They contain Walnut, Almond, and Cashew Nut, all premium nuts, for just a fraction of the price. This snack is low carb, high protein snacks that satisfy your hunger between meals and improves your diet results. They are all roasted without any seasoning, allowing you to taste the natural aroma within each nut.
No added sugar. Gluten, dairy and preservative free.

Healthy Nut Mix, 140g, RM16.00
Low in carb, high in protein, this is one of Signature Market's more popular snacks. They contain Almond, Lightly Salted Peanut (Himalayan Salt), Cashew Nut, Pecan, and Hazelnut. This one drew my attention immediately because I am a sucker for hazelnuts. When I popped open the packet, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that there is a very healthy serving of hazelnuts in there, and I believe they do not skimp on the quality of the products. 

Low Carb Mix, 140g, RM16.00
This snack is a premium snacks collection where only premium ingredients are used. As is the case with all other mixes, this snack is low in carb, and high in protein. They contain Walnut, Almond, Cashew Nut, Lightly Salted Pumpkin Seed (Himalayan Rock Salt), Lightly Salted Sun Flower Seed (Himalayan Rock Salt). Because there is such an abundance of all sorts of nuts, I add this into my granola breakfast with milk, and it gives me a well-rounded, wholesome meal.


As you can see, they offer a wide variety of products for you to choose from, and the range of items such as nut mix's to cookies, seeds, dried fruits, are endless. You will be spoilt for choice the moment you click into their website, and I can tell you, you will be at a loss for what to purchase. Snacking healthy starts right here at Signature Market.

One thing I like about their website is that they list out the Nutritional Information so any health conscious person out there has all the info they need on whether they would want to purchase the products or not. After all, if you're someone who cares about your diet, the first thing you would do would be to skim through the Nutritional Information, and more often than not, items you buy online doesn't give you that, which is why I really applaud Signature Market, because they're putting everything up front, and it's very transparent.


When you purchase their fragile products like the biscotti or the chips, don't worry about only receiving crushed pieces, as they are delivered in a box.

Interested in trying these out for yourself and getting a box? just drop them a message on Facebook, email or live chat them on their website. Their customer service will assist you further by providing you the link and steps to get started!

Their snack team are available to chat between Monday - Friday from 10.00am till 6pm (Excluding weekends and public holidays*)
