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!

New From Kellogg's Canada! (and Giveaway!)
Recently we received samples of the new products that Kellogg's has introduced:
Special K Popcorn Chips
These new popcorn chips are lightly seasoned and will satisfy any movie-theatre popcorn cravings you may have. With only 80 calories for 20 chips, the chips will help you stay on track. The chips come in two flavours, Butter and Sweet & Salty.
All-Bran Blueberry Brown Sugar Flavour Cereal Bars
These 30g / 130 calorie bars contain blueberry-infused cranberries and brown sugar. They are a high source of fibre, contain natural wheat bran fibre, are trans fat free and low in saturated fat!
Vector Protein Chewy Bars
The new Vector Protein Chewy Bars are a tasty combination of nuts and chocolate. They are available in two flavours - Peanut and Mixed Nut - and have 11g of protein and 5g if fibre per bar!
VERDICT:
The Vector bars have already made their way into my secret snack stash at work. I like these bars better than most that I have tried - and they make a perfect 3 pm snack for me. The popcorn chips disappeared into the "man cave"...I may never get to taste them! I'm looking forward to the cereal bars - but am saving them for one of those sure-to-happen hectic mornings when Mama doesn't get a bite to eat before getting the kids out the door to school and daycare on time.
Guess what?! You have a chance to WIN free product coupons (FPC's) for full-sized boxes of EACH of the new products! Enter via the Rafflecopter below!
