Snack of the Month: Best of Both Worlds

Send to a friend

When it comes to our favorite noshes, we're picking favorites.

If we had one wish, it would be world piece.

That is, we wish everyone could have a piece of our new go-to snack, World of Grains cookies.

True to their name, these crunchy biscuits contain a diverse "population" of grains such as wheat, oats, amaranth, quinoa, barley, millet, rye, buckwheat and more. Throw in some flaxseed and chicory and you've got a wholesome, all-natural snack (under 150 calories) that's also packed with omega-3s and fiber.

And they don't disappoint in the taste department either. Each of the mildly sweet flavors (like cranberry, oatmeal raisin and our favorite, blueberry) will satisfy a sugar or crunchy-carb craving. We especially like them with green tea to curb mid-afternoon hunger.

Stomach rumbling yet? Pick some up at a store near you and keep one of the single-serving packets in your handbag or drawer for the next time you need a filling, guilt-free snack.

It's a small meal, after all.
