Health Nut Food Faves of the Month – August
Here are two favorites that I’ve been downing this month!
Van’s Waffles
Who doesn’t like a warm, slightly crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside waffle? If you’re an Eggo fan, keep reading! I recently discovered Van’s and might not go back. These frozen waffles are ready in less than 5 minutes (in the toaster) and super quick and easy to consume, even when on the go.
What I love: These waffles (I buy the “Lite” version) are fairly small, but big on taste! They also 97% fat free, made with whole grains, contain no artificial ingredients, and at 70 calories per waffle, you can easily eat 3 for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.
What I don’t like: They can be addicting! Especially when you eat them with some peanut butter and jelly on top. Keep in mind that these are a little pricier than regular waffles, but well worth the chemical-free ingredients that they’re made of.
The Verdict: Try them for breakfast with some fruit or maple syrup on top. Then, let me know if you’re still missing your Eggos J.
Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt
This new line of Greek yogurt by StonyField Farms is definitely one of my new favorite foods! Yogurt really makes for a fantastic snack anytime of the day, and girls, if you don’t like drinking milk, yogurt is a great alternative to get your daily dose of Calcium in.
What I love: This Greek yogurt is much creamier and richer than regular yogurt. It also has 0% fat, less carbs, and about twice the protein of regular yogurt. It tastes great, is quite filling and because it’s organic, there’s no worry about hormones or chemicals in your yogurt either!
What I don’t like: It’s quite pricey, up to $1 more compared to regular Stonyfield Farms yogurt. I wouldn’t mind paying a little less J.
The Verdict: Definitely give this a try and compare it to regular yogurt to see which one you like better. My favorite flavor is the regular Greek yogurt with honey on the bottom – simply divine!
