Traveling Down the Organic Path With Nature's Path Organic

In my household I do the grocery shopping. I also do all the cooking and for a couple of years now we've started consuming a lot more organic food than we used to. Products like cereal, oatmeal, snacks, granola, dried fruits, waffles and baking mixes are almost always organic in my house and I'm always trying new brands to see if we like their variety better than other companies on the market. It's taken some time to get used to foods like lentils, whole wheat flour and agave nectar instead of refined sugar but sometimes it's hard to make the switch to organic not only because of the cost but because some of the foods can taste a little different- especially when their texture is different because of different ingredients than you're used to. Nature's Path Organics provides consumers with a really great line of organic products that are super affordable and taste delicious. Your family won't be able to tell the difference in taste but they'll be eating better.

My absolute favorite product from the Nature's Path Organic line is the buttermilk pancake dry mix. I used to make my own pancake mix from scratch but after trying this mix for convenience I don't make anything else. It's simple to scoop out 1 cup of the mix, add some water and pour into the pan, but because it's so easy I always add an egg, substitute milk instead of water and I add bananas, blueberries or plain oats to the mix for healthier pancakes. It's a great base for a pancake and you can enjoy them alone or with additions. The bag is about $5 and it makes about 5 breakfasts worth.

Our second family favorite is the instant oatmeal mixes. A variety of flavors are included such as Flax Plus, Hemp Plus, Apple Cinnamon, Maple Nut and more. Many of the mixes are fortified with Omega's and these mixes are so good for you, you'll be eating them everyday. Between my husband and I we go through 2 boxes each week. Even my 3 year old son loves the oatmeal.

The frozen waffle varieties from Nature's Path Organics are great and it's really convenient to keep a couple boxes on hand at all times for quick yet nutritious breakfasts. You can buy plain, gluten free waffles that taste just like regular non-organic waffles (But so much healthier!) or you can try one of the other varieties such as Buckwheat, Flax Plus Red Berry, Maple Cinnamon or Mesa Sunrise. You can also treat your kids (or spouses!) to their toaster pastries which are fantastic because they're made with whole grains, real fruit and no refined sugar. You won't feel bad about serving these up as a breakfast or snack.
