Kashi TLC Pumpkin Spice Flax bars

I tried these delicious new bars and they are really nutty, crunchy and tasty as a quick breakfast addition or a snack
these bars contain 300 mg Omega-3's from whole flax seeds
Fiber is 4 grams per serving
there are 7 types of whole grains, canola oil, pumpkin seeds and wheat germ and 2 bars equals one serving

Food item of the week-a perfect match for a meal idea
Here is a perfect combination from once again our good old friend"Trader Joes"Trader Joes brand Valencia Peanut Butter with Roasted Flaxseeds-crunchy and salty, it contains 320 mg ALA Omega 3 Fatty Acids per serving (approx 2 tsps) and the ingredients are merely peanuts, roasted golden flaxseeds and saltplus…Trader Joe's Organic Superfruit Spread (a blend of morello cherrys, red grapes, blueberries and pomegranates) which is mostly from juices but only 8 grams of sugar per tsp and contains 60% DV of Vit C per servingThis combination is an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and pro-nutrient dense match and might I add, on some whole grain full of seeds bread, it is a yummy sandwich!!!!!!!! you can enjoy as a meal or snack!
