A SMARTER WAY TO SATISFY YOUR SWEET TOOTH
Posted on February 3rd, 2010 under Granola bars.
Richmond, BC – Whether its weekend hikes, 3 p.m. workday slumps or traffic jams, there are plenty of times during the day when we need a convenient snack to tide us over and satisfy our taste buds. There are a number of options to choose from, but if they have the organic, whole grains we need, they usually don’t have the great taste we want. From Mmmaple Pecan to Lotta Apricotta to Chococonut, Nature’s Path granola bars are a flavorful organic snack option sure to satisfy any craving.
Featuring new flavors – as well as tasty upgrades to old favorites – the granola bars are a great snack, breakfast or on-the-go option. Like all Nature’s Path products, the granola bars are USDA certified organic, which means they don’t contain artificial preservatives, additives, genetically modified organism (GMOs) or synthetic pesticides, making every bite a delicious one.
The expanded bar line includes new two Flax Plus flavors which are excellent sources of Omega-3’s: Mmmaple Pecan – made with organic maple syrup, crunchy pecans and a drizzle of sweet, creamy icing and Berry Strawberry – a mix of organic strawberries and raspberries, topped off with just the right amount of real, creamy yogurt, along with Lotta Apricotta – chock full of dried apricots, roasted almonds and drizzled with real yogurt icing and Sunny Hemp – a blend of hempseed, flaxseed and sunflower seeds with juicy raisins. Other flavorful options include:
• Peanut Buddy – peanut butter and whole roasted peanuts for a chewy bar with crunch.
• Peanut Choco – two of our favorite flavors, crunchy peanuts drizzled with dark chocolate.
• Chococonut – the perfect combination of dark chocolate chips and a hint of sweet, buttery, nutty coconut.
• Pumpkin-n-Spice – mineral-rich roasted pumpkin seeds and Omega-3 rich flaxseeds with a dash of cinnamon.
Proving good things really do come in small packages; the new bars are packaged in a more sustainable box with 36% less cardboard, saving 472,000 gallons of water and 46 tons of waste yearly.
