Sound familiar? Kids like snacks and while we work hard to ensure their meals are balanced and nutritious, if we aren’t vigilant about making sure their snacks are too, all of that hard work can go right down the hydrogenated, corn syrup drain. The bonus of having the pantry stocked with the right items? We’ll make smarter choices when we reach for a snack ourselves.
Having a variety of convenient and healthy choices that are also versatile is key. When those options are nutritious, delicious and offer boosts of vitality, energy and strength, everyone is satisfied. And when they come from the company that spearheaded the chia renaissance with a line of high quality, organic foods and beverages powered by chia that are Non-GMO, gluten free, Kosher and USDA Certified Organic, then you’ll be experiencing the Magic of Chia® from the one and only Mamma Chia.
Loaded with Omega-3s, protein and fiber, you’ll be thrilled with these yummy options for healthy snacking from Mamma Chia:
This isn’t your ordinary squeeze pouch! Mamma Chia Organic Chia Squeeze is loaded with nutrition far beyond mere applesauce. And parents, you will like these just as much (if not more!) than the kids. Organic chia seeds are lovingly combined with organic fruits and vegetables for a delicious, 70 calorie, no-sugar-added snack in an on-the-go squeeze pouch. The lightweight packaging does not need refrigeration and is perfect for busy moms, active adults and children. With six delicious flavors, like Strawberry Banana, Blackberry Bliss and new Cherry Beet, the entire family will be saying “Yum”!
Each lightly sweetened bar is a tasty anytime snack that delivers the powerful nutrients of chia in four delicious flavor combinations with only four grams of sugar. These yummy bars are great for an on-the-go breakfast, packed in a healthy lunch, tucked in a gym bag for a pre- or post-workout snack, or anytime you need a light, but seemingly indulgent treat. With flavors like Caramel & Sea Salt; Vanilla Bean & Almond; Peanut Butter & Sea Salt; and Maple & Pecan, we can see a few battles for the last bars brewing here!
Chia Granola Clusters are bursting with nutrient-rich chia seeds, whole-rolled oats, fruit and toasted nuts, and are naturally sweetened with a touch of golden honey and rich molasses. Enjoyed by the bowlful or the handful, with milk or yogurt, at the table or on the go, these granola clusters deliver 10 grams of protein (soy and dairy free) per serving!
Looking for versatility in your snacks? While each item is wonderful on its own, when combined into a yogurt parfait, both taste buds and nutrition indexes delight! Perfect as an after-school snack, just combine your favorite Greek yogurt with a Mamma Chia Organic Chia Squeeze, a handful of Mamma Chia Organic Granola Clusters, and fresh berries. This yogurt parfait feels like an indulgent treat, but it’s really a satisfying snack that offers a healthy nutrition boost full of Omega-3s, protein, fiber, antioxidants, probiotics, potassium, and calcium.
Happy and healthy snacking to your family in 2016!
