Being a food blog that primarily focuses on healthier baking, it’s only fitting that I be a part of Whole Grain Sampling Day. Whole Grain Sampling Day is a nationwide, annual initiative designed to introduce consumers to the health benefits and great taste of whole grains. There’s even going to be a Whole Grains Toast at noon today! So, post your toast on facebook, twitter or instagram with the hashtag #SampleWholeGrains.
So, when Oldways and the Whole Grains Council asked me to be a Whole Grains Ambassador it was love at first bite. As my first mission, I’m here to tell you to eat more whole grains! Woot!
I sought out to try these lovely goodies filled with whole grains:
Well, I can happily say that between my husband and myself we’ve tried most of them and have chosen our favorites!
It’s a no brainer, but my favorite has been Pamela’s Oatmeal Cookie Mix. I threw in a 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips and voila!
Cookies!
My runner ups were the all-time classic Wheat Thins:
and Home Free’s Mini Double Chocolate Chip Cookies:
My husband and I also agreed that these Way Better Snacks were awesome:
…As well as the Real McCoy’s Really Good Rice Chips!
Those were just some of our favorites and I’m sure my sweet tooth had a significant say in my favorites. 😉 Have you ever tried any of these whole grain products? Better yet, want to win these tasty whole grain treats?!?
I make blender pancakes with whole wheat berries. They’re my favorite.
My favorite way to get whole grains is in a brown rice or quinoa salad…but Wheat Thins or cookies would be great, too! 😉
Oh, yummy! I’ve always been the whole grain person in my family, and the only person who would ever try to find whole grain foods! I always snuck it in with pastas and bread.
