Did you know that February is the time when people either continue to stay committed to their New Year’s Resolutions or throw in the towel?

One of the most common resolutions is to get healthier, either through food choices, exercise or both. And it is HARD! One of my resolutions has been feeding my family healthier options, but in the past, I have encountered a couple of problems: either the food options are too expensive to fit in my budget, or they didn’t like the taste of the healthier choices.

Not anymore! Van’s Natural Foods sent me some great products to try, and I have to tell you that the whole family enjoyed them!

For a great lunchbox or after school snack, you will love the Gluten-Free PB&J Sandwich Bars! One side has real peanut butter and the other side has a natural fruit filling; your choice of blueberry or strawberry. We couldn’t decide which was our favorite! Every serving has 10g of whole grain oats, so they’re filling and satisfying! And really, who doesn’t love PB&J?

The other snack which we loved were the Gluten-Free Multigrain Chips. You know how when you’re trying to watch what you eat (or dare I say…diet!) that you just crave chips at some point? Either potato chips, or nacho cheese tortilla chips or something similar? But you know that you can’t indulge, because they’re just not good for you? Van’s Multigrain Chips will satisfy that craving. You can choose ‘Mighty Good BBQ’ (and they are!) or Nacho, Nacho Man! They are crunchy and flavorful, and with 18g of whole grains and made with brown rice, oats, millet, quinoa and amaranth, you can enjoy these chips everyday without guilt!

And finally, we were thrilled to discover how easy and delicious the waffles are! These new ‘Love Your Heart Waffles’ feature 1g of soluble fiber (good for your heart!), 34g of whole grains including whole wheat, barley, oats and more. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that at least half of all the grains you eat are whole grains. If you’re like most, you’re not getting enough whole grains in your diet, but a serving of Van’s ‘Love Your Heart’ Waffles can help you start your day in a really healthy way. Eating a variety of whole grains not only ensures that you get more health-promoting nutrients but also helps make your meals and snacks more interesting.
