Happy Summer Everyone!
I sure hope that summer is treating you and your loved ones as good as it is treating us.
We've been enjoying amazing weather (though a few too many forest fires) - and I have been so lucky to be home with our kids all summer. We've been camping, hiking, biking, golfing, beaching, road-tripping, wine tasting...it's been wonderful. And - we still have just under 5 more weeks until school starts. Super-duper awesomeness!
So, how do you fuel up in the summer? When we are outdoors, in addition to the mandatory water, we are always carrying extra snacks for our family. Our go-to snacks are granola bars - especially ones with protein. We love the convenience on the bars. We've also got our favourite post-activity snacks - such as yogurt with fruit and granola - our kids just eat that up (I'm also a big yogurt and granola fan for breakfast).
Speaking of granola, did you know that Kellogg's has recently launched new Vector Granola Honey Almond Flavour? They have, and it's good. With 20g of protein per serving, 5g of fibre and 10 vitamins and minerals. We were fortunate to have been given a sample to try - and while my almond-allergic hubby couldn't have any, the kids and I really enjoyed it with our yogurt and fresh strawberries from our garden!
Now for the best part...YOU have the chance to WIN a Kellogg's Vector Prize pack ($50 value!) - just like the one in the picture in this post. Lucky you! Enter below via the Rafflecopter. Thanks so much...and watch for new recipe posts coming to Addicted to Recipes soon! Despite our busy summer, we still need to eat, and I have been testing new recipes that will get posted soon!
