New Delicious Treats from @otis_spunkmeyer!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One of my favorite things to watch happen in the food industry is when a company realizes that some of their ingredients are harmful, icky and not needed in their foods and they MAKE A CHANGE!

I have loved watching Otis Spunkmeyer, one of my absolutely favorite treats brands, make this change and it has made me and my body SO HAPPY! Their baked goods are still absolutely DELICIOUS but they have the “No Funky Stuff” promise, meaning no artificial flavors, colors or high-fructose corn syrup.

Otis Spunkmeyer is also turning 40 this year and they are celebrating with some new foods in April and others continuing throughout the year. From Mini Brownie Bites and Frozen Cookie Dough, to new Loaf Cakes and seasonal foods, Otis Spunkmeyer is excited to expand their popular retail line that launched in 2016. All the new foods will have this same “No Funky Stuff”promise!

The first two new foods, Super Cookies and Strawberry Crème Cakes will be launching in early April and I can tell you from experience - THEY ARE DELICIOUS!

My husband loves two things - strawberry and cake so the Strawberry Creme Cakes quickly became his favorite. And for me, the Super Cookie was a dream come true! This soft chocolate chip cookie is big enough to share with friends and family..but you won't want to!

Otis Spunkmeyer once again surprises me with more NEW delicious treats and I am once again so thankful they have their No Funky Stuff promise!

Snack on the Go with New #atkinsharvest Trail Bars!

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network.

If you are like me, you need a snack that you can grab on the go or stick in your purse, pocket or stroller to eat on the go. If I don't have a healthy snack that I can grab and go, I usually start to crave something that isn't healthy or won't sustain me as I go through my day.

Well, lately I have been grabbing the newest product from Atkins Nutritionals — the Harvest Trail Bar and it not only tastes great but it keeps me going and is easy to eat on the go!

The bars come in four flavors — all offering a simpler, low-carb snack with less sugar and lower carbohydrates than traditional nutritional bars– including Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel, Dark Chocolate Cherry & Nuts, and Vanilla Fruit and Nut.

The bars are full of good ingredients, including nuts as the first ingredient, and my favorite part: NO artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sugar alcohols. 

With the demand for simpler ingredient bars on the rise, Atkins responded to consumers’ needs by creating the Harvest Trail Bar line that is a perfect option for anyone who wants a snack that is low in sugar, and a great source of protein and fiber.

Atkins Harvest Trail Bars offers consumers the goodness of protein and fiber while keeping net carbs and sugars in check. Each snack bar contains less than seven grams of net carbs and less than four grams of sugar!

These bars really taste as GOOD as they look and I love the simple ingredients but tasty flavors. There really is a bar for everyone whether you like chocolate, fruit or nuts! Plus, I love how much protein each bar has so it keeps me feeling fuller longer!

Mamma Chia's NEW Granola Clusters‏ & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I am sure by now you have had heard of Chia! It is one of the foods that are becoming increasingly popular because of how nutrient dense it is and how versatile it is!

Why choose chia? 

Chia seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3s on the planet. An excellent source of dietary fiber, complete protein and antioxidants, both the Maya and Aztecs held this ancient seed in high esteem for increasing vitality, strength, and overall good health.

One of the ways I incorporate Chia seeds into my family's diet is through the great organic products from Mamma Chia, the leader of the chia revolution! They have introduced a delicious new way to embrace your crunchy side with the introduction of their soul-satisfying, organic Chia Vitality Granola Clusters.

Each crunchy granola cluster is bursting with nutrient-rich chia seeds, whole rolled oats, wild blueberries or toasted nuts, and is naturally sweetened with a touch of golden honey and rich molasses. The clusters make for a nourishing breakfast or anytime snack that’s sure to set your day on a course for true enlightenment. Enjoyed by the bowlful or the handful, with milk or yogurt, at the table or on the go; these granola clusters bring their chi-balancing prowess and body-fueling brilliance to wherever your path takes you. Chia Vitality Granola Clusters are perfect for kids of all ages; athletes and weekend warriors; corporate climbers and mountain climbers; as well as anyone who seeks to seed their soul.

My children LOVE to enjoy these Granola Clusters for breakfast and literally beg for it everyday!! I love to oblige because it is organic and filled with so much goodness including a lot of protein which makes for a great start to their day!!!

Baked into every magical serving is:

· 1500 mg of Omega-3s

· Gluten-free whole grains

· 10 grams of protein (soy-free and dairy-free)

· 5 grams of fiber (20% of the recommended daily value)

· 220 calories

I definitely trust Mamma Chia products because all Mamma Chia products are Non-GMO, gluten-free, Kosher, USDA Certified Organic, and honestly good for you!

We have also been enjoying their Chia Squeezes in oatmeal, as a snack and on the go this summer! They are packed with so much goodness and all in a great throw-in-the-bag packaging! Perfect for all summer traveling, beach trips and vacations!

I am always on the search for great organic food companies to not only feed my family healthy, nutritious and tasty food but to share with others! Mamma Chia is definitely a new one on the top of my list and one that will be regularly on my grocery list from now on!

NEW Dog Treats from Minties and Betsy Farms!

This post is brought to you by VetIQ. All opinions are 100% mine. 

If you have a pet dog, then you are going to want to hear about some great new pet products from VetIQ and Betsy Farms! Charlie, the lucky dog who got to snack on Minties and Betsy Farms Turkey Jerky snacks was in love and never wanted to stop being fed these items!

 Check out more info below on these two great pet products:

Minties

There are a lot of dental treats to choose from for dogs, but when it comes to finding a complete oral health solution your dog will love, there’s nothing like Minties. Minties have a vet recommended, triple action formula that helps clean teeth, promote fresh breath, and helps control plaque and tartar. And because it’s from VetIQ, you’ll know that it’s a vet recommended quality product at savings to you.

Minties are made in the USA and free of many ingredients that may be of concern to you and your dog: wheat, gluten, soy, corn, artificial flavors and animal by-products. Minties have unique hardness, shape and texture to keep your dog’s teeth clean and healthy as he chews while helping reduce plaque and tartar.

Each Minties Dental Treat contains five natural ingredients that work in your dog’s mouth and stomach to promote fresh breath and reduce unpleasant odors:

• Mint promotes minty fresh breath.
• Parsley contains enzymes that help break down odor-causing particles in the stomach.
• Dill helps inhibit bacterial growth and helps prevent early stages of gingivitis.
• Fennel helps control bacteria and is a natural breath freshener.
• Chlorophyll from alfalfa balances acid levels in the stomach and helps deodorize your dog’s body.

Independent taste tests found that dogs love Minties and are easy to digest, so supporting your dog’s complete oral health can be a treat for your dog, not a chore. That’s smart!

I also love how Minties Dental Treats come in sizes for tiny, small, medium and large dogs. Charlie received the tiny size according to his weight! They are the perfect size for him, his teeth and his mouth!

Minties are exclusively sold at Walmart and Sam’s Club retailers nationwide.

Try Minties from VetIQ today!

Betsy Farms Turkey Jerky

When you want to give your dog a tasty and healthy treat, give him a mouth-watering snack he’ll love from Betsy Farms!

Betsy Farms offers jerky recipe treats in four varieties: Chicken, Duck, Turkey and now new Natural Chicken Jerky Recipe Infusions that have a chewy outside with a unique, creamy inside. Each is made with natural ingredients and real meat for protein that all dogs need. They’re also free of artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. Betsy Farms makes high quality treats made right here in the USA.

Charlie got to try the Betsy Farms Turkey Jerky Recipe made from American Raised Turkey and No Artificial Flavors! Charlie LOVED this delicious dog treat and begged for more and more!

I absolutely LOVE that it is made with natural ingredients and real meat - no dog deserves less...especially YOURS! They’re also free of artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors and that is really important too!

So give your dog a treat he’ll love and you’ll feel good about from Betsy Farms!
