can we make for our bodies?
SMART SNACKS
Nuts and dried fruit combine to make a fabulous high energy snack, best eaten in the morning. You can also consider making your own homemade granola bars.
smartfood
Although not as high in protein as it could be, this sweet snack is one of Frito-Lay's smarter products. Each serving size pouch has only 120 calories. Ingredients include brown rice syrup, chicory root (contributing to the 5 grams of fiber), almonds, popcorn, sugar, and dried cranberries. One serving of smartfood contains 20% of the daily value for calcium.
The boxed packaging is rather excessive. A plain clear plastic bag would have been sufficient to keep the decorative packets together.
CLIF KID ZBAR
Organic ZBars, baked whole grain energy snacks are available at Trader Joe's. They come in a wide assortment of flavors, made from a wide variety of organic ingredients, vitamins and minerals. These snacks are sweetened with brown rice syrup and cane juice syrup rather than corn syrup.
