A BREAKFAST HACK THAT WORKS
A top grocery hack is Malt-O-Meal cereal. Available in 36 different flavors like Fruity Dyno-Bites and Cinnamon Toasters, Malt-O-Meal has delicious cereal for the whole family, at a price that can not be beat! The resealable bag keeps flavors fresh and makes it easy for kids to pour their own bowl in the morning. Malt-O-Meal cereal is available at retailers nationwide, or maltomeal.com. It is is the perfect addition to keep in every pantry for snacking, or meals. For more information, visit www.maltomeal.com
A HEALTHY CHOICE
It is important to keep not just nutritious, but satisfying snacks on hand, which is why a staple in any pantry should be Blue Diamond Almonds. Almonds are a great heart healthy snack, as a strong source of daily fiber and healthy fats, which can improve cholesterol levels. With one serving packing 6 grams of protein and over 20 different flavors, Blue Diamond Almonds are a great go-to snack for satisfying both hunger and cravings. Some examples are the Smokehouse Almonds, full of smoky goodness and Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds, which have that wasabi kick with a salty and sweet finish! With so many flavor options, these will satisfy any game day craving! For more information, visit www.bluediamond.com
