Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola

It was Friday night, around 6pm and I was starving. We were going to go out for dinner in an hour but I needed a light snack… quick! After scouring my fiance’s kitchen, I managed to find this unopened box of Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola. And, yes, it filled that void, the void of my hunger pangs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was this Flax Plus pumpkin flavored granola delicious as a handheld snack, without milk, but that it wasn’t too sweet. I have this thing about not being able to eat too much sugar now, now that I am over 30. (sigh!) My body doesn’t like too much sugar although my taste buds still do. Anyway, as I read the back of the box, I learned that this pumpkin granola was full of healthy omega-3, zinc, and iron from flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds. Who knew? Although I did read online that it’s better to get omega-3 from fish oil rather than flaxseeds because it’s easier for your body to digest the fish oil. But if you don’t eat fish, then you can eat flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and pine nuts to get your omega-3. This special 2 pack of Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola, pictured above, is available at Costco. The one pack is available at Whole Foods or other health food stores.
