One simple tip to make your back to school mornings easier: meal prepping snacks! And these are a winner that the entire family will adore.
Shoutout to Natures Path Organics for always standing behind Organic + Non GMO ingredients in all their products. I searched long and far for Rice Puffs that wasn’t packed with added sugar, and stayed crispy these are now a staple in our pantry!
And their superfood qi’a topper is great for adding a nutrient dense boost to treats like this; but also to oatmeal, salads, yogurt bowls and more.
You can order these online or find them at your local grocery store! I shop for them at Save-On-Foods, Blush Lane, Superstore, and more!
