I am a mom that tries to promote healthy snacking with my family. By no means do we only eat fruits and veggies but I do try and buy better-for-us foods. Van’s is one of those brands that has healthier
breakfast and snack options that are actually tasty and stuff my kids will eat. Van’s has recently rolled out some delicious new additions
to its expanding product line and they get a big thumbs up from me and both my girls.
We are really big granola fans and I always love how they fill me up. Van’s Soft-Baked Whole Grain Granola Clusters
in Blueberry Walnut and Cranberry Almond are made from wholesome,
gluten-free, whole grain oats and are a tasty complement to yogurt
or ice cream, or on their own right out of the bag as a midday snack.
What I really like is these are very moist. They are easy to pack into my oldest daughter’s lunch box and she eats it straight up. When I am home my youngest I like to mix some of this granola right into our vanilla yogurt. The perfect afternoon snack to combat those 3pm munchies.
They now have Whole Grain Pastas that are a deliciously simple, wholesome, quick and easy lunch or dinner option. Made with whole-grain, gluten-free pasta, each variety offers its own unique blend of seasonings and other simple ingredients.
Available in three flavors:
- Creamy Herb & Garlic – 11 grams of protein and 28 grams of whole grains per serving
- Ultimate Cheddar & Penne- 6 grams of protein and 28 grams of whole grains per serving
- Rotini & Red Sauce – 12 grams of protein and 34 grams of whole grains
These are SUPER SIMPLE to make. Everything you need is in the box and it makes a great dish. It is not enough as a meal for a family but you can easily make this a side or mix in chicken and broccoli to make it a bigger meal. My girls are great eaters and they literally ate this right up and asked for more.
Van’s new tagline really does describe their food…Simply Delicious. I am a big fan of their products but these new granola clusters and pastas are the best yet! It can be so hard to come up with healthy snacks which is why the gronola is so great and the pasta makes dinner time so easy yet healthy and tasty too. They are available at grocery stores, mass merchandise stores and natural food retailers nationwide.
