Our favourite day every month is when our Snackbox arrives – I don’t open it until after school, and kiddo and I did through and try out some fun snacks! It’s something we both look forward to, and I love to see her so excited to try all kinds of healthy foods that she’s never had before. There was a great variety in this month’s box, here’s what we got:
– Back to Earth Weeds and Seeds cereal – this is a neat one. Free of all the bad stuff, it’s a cool mix of buckwheat, hemp seeds, dandelion leaf, plantain leaf and lots more super healthy stuff. Great to add into yogourt, shakes – even in pancakes! Good way to add an extra punch of nutrition!
– Vega One Bar – I am the biggest fan of the Vega smoothie add ins, and had no idea they made bars! Every bar has a full serving of greens, 1 billion dairy free probiotics, 5 grams of complete protein and much, much more! Best part, it was super yummy!!! Kiddo and I shared this one, it was really filling and tasted like a really good chocolate bar.
– Skeet & Ikes roasted almonds. Kiddo has been eating these as an after school snack and loving them. Great snack for on the go, and I love that it’s full of healthy fats. Good for a growing kid!
– Runa clean energy drink – this is another really neat one. It has 50% more caffeine than the well known energy drinks, but is from a natural source, the Guayusa. It contains the same stimulant as is found in dark chocolate, so you get some energy without a big crash after.
– TCHO chocolate – this one I never even got to try. The kiddo had one bite and claimed it as her own. It’s super dark chocolate, and I love that they source the cacao beans directly from the growers and control every step of the process til it reaches you!
– Veggiego – for everyone who has a picky eater, this is a great solution. It’s like a fruit leather, but made from organic fruits and veggies. All natural snack to bring to school or on the go. We got the Sweet Potato Pie one, only 6 ingredients, all healthy and things we all know.
– Quinn Popcorn – I am completely in love with this! It’s fancy microwave popcorn! Comes in a regular bag (no chemicals or coatings) and you pop it. Then you add sunflower oil, shake it up. Then add in the maple and sea salt topping and shake again. The best popcorn that’s ever come out of my microwave! This is an awesome idea for people who don’t eat microwave popcorn for health concerns etc. Or for people who want a higher quality one. It was amazing!!
– Organic Lives – We got raspberry macaroon, which made me happy because they were all mine since the other 2 don’t like coconut. This is the perfect afternoon treat to have with your coffee break. And it’s healthy, so you can eat 2 😉
– Terra Chips – Ok, I claimed this one as all mine too! These chips are some of my faves, so I was happy to eat them all up quickly! If you haven’t these, give them a try. Fun for kids too – and since it’s made with taro, sweet potato, yucca, batata and parsnip you can be a sneaky parent! Great way to get kids to trying different vegetables too.
– Taste of Nature – I turned around for a second after we opened the box, and Kiddo had devoured the bar! These are a family fave, I often buy them at the grocery store. Full on nuts and really filling – I like bringing a few along for when outings and errands run long and we all get hungry.
