vans natural foods PBandJ

 

Continuing with my healthy snacking for 2014, I wanted to introduce you guys to some fabulous and tasty new snacks. These are from Van’s Natural Foods. Chewy, crispy, whole grain, gluten-free goodness…baked and full of flavor. And the multigrain chips have 18g of whole grains and are made with brown rice, oats, millet, quinoa and amaranth. .  they are light, crispy and delicious!

Me and the girls gobbled up this entire bag in one sitting. No joke.

 

 

Nacho Nacho Chips

 

Van’s has been cooking up tasty, good-for-you waffles for almost a half century. It all started back in the 1970s at the original Van’s restaurant. It was there, inspired by their California beachside roots, that they first dished up whole grain and gluten free hot ’n toasty waffles. By the late 1980s, Van’s decided it was time to bring their tasty waffles to a whole new group of customers – right in their local grocery stores.

 

That same passion for seriously healthy, seriously tasty foods lives on at Van’s today. They value artisanal quality and cook their products in small, minimally processed batches with always-fresh ingredients. And since Van’s wants everyone to be able to enjoy their waffles, they offer gluten-free waffles along with organic, mini and their signature 8 Whole Grain varieties. Van’s also added a new fiber and whole grain rich waffle, the Non-GMO Project- certified Love Your Heart Waffles.  The new waffle features 1 gram of heart-healthy soluble fiber, 34 grams of whole grains and is made from a mix of whole grains including whole wheat, barley, oats and more.

 

 

THE GIVEAWAY

(open to residents within the United States only)

 

Van’s also offers: cereals, crackers, french toast sticks, multi-grain chips, snack bars and pancakes.  Van’s snack line has won multiple recent healthy food awards, and is all about health food going mainstream, protein power, better-for-you snacking and heart-healthy eating. I’ve partnered with Van’s Natural Foods today to offer ONE reader a foodie prize pack including the following:

 

  1.   ONE box PB & J Blueberry and Peanut Butter Sandwich Bars- great for the kids and taste just like a PB&J sandwich!
  2.   ONE box PB & J Strawberry and Peanut Butter Sandwich Bars

    My family of seven loves Vans products, specifically their gluten-free foods. I was diagnosed with celiac several years ago and my gluten-loving oldest child, who has Aspergers, had an easier time transitioning to a gluten-free household with Vans waffles and other gf items.

    Oh, this would be so great to win. I live in a very small town and discovered a year ago I have a zero tolerance to gluten. And have a hard time finding “snack” foods for me in my local grocery stores. Almost all my shopping is done on line for things like this. Thanks for the opportunity to actually have a chance to win these awesome goodies. Love my van waffles…sure these have to be just as good as those. Cheers! ~ M
