I’ve overseen our annual Taste Test Awards now for many years. That means I’ve tasted hundreds and hundreds of tasty (and some not-so-tasty) snacks. Our goal with this annual series is to point you toward delicious foods that are also nutritious and a smart part of a healthful diet. All winners must clock in at 200 calories or less and fall within our sodium and saturated fat levels with no artificial trans fats. Among the many standouts over the years, I’ve highlighted a few of my favorite winners that provide a dose of healthy whole grains:
Michele’s Apple Quinoa Granola: Low in sugar and high in flavor, with quinoa and toasty oats. Buy some for yourself..
Harvest Stone Brown Rice, Sesame, and Flax Crackers in Original: You’ll get 20 grams of whole grains per serving via brown rice. Buy some for yourself.
Angie’s Boom Chicka Puff White Cheddar: These cheesy puffs are highly addictive, but they pack in whole grains like quinoa, sorghum flour, and cornmeal. Buy some for yourself.
Whole Foods 365 Frozen Brown Rice: Brown rice is an excellent way to amp up your whole grain levels at mealtime, but it can take a while to prep from scratch. That’s why this frozen version caught our eye. It’s quick, easy, and delicious. Buy some for yourself.
Van’s 8 Whole Grains Multigrain Waffles: Start your day with a dose of whole grains. These pack in the flavor and stay sturdy after heating and splashing with a bit of maple syrup. Buy some for yourself.
Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar-Flavored Multi-Grain Snacks: I’m a chip-aholic, and it doesn’t get any tastier than Sun Chips, at least in my opinion. It’s just an added bonus that these snacks contain corn, whole wheat, brown rice flour, and whole oat flour. Buy some for yourself.
