The new year is all about trying to improve so why not step up your meals and snacks for 2024? Recipe developer and chef Julie Hartigan is sharing her healthier meals and snacks that we can all try. We’re all busy and on the go so we need food that is quick while still adding flavor and nutrition. Julie recommends Chicken of the Sea Wild Caught Tuna and Salmon packets. She loves these because they are convenient, flavorful, and nutritious. You can check out all the delicious flavors from Chicken of the Sea by heading to their website chickenofthesea.com. Next, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and one of Julie’s top breakfast hacks is Malt-O-Meal cereal. Malt-O-Meal cereal is available in 36 different flavors so there is something for the whole family! Julie loves the resealable bags which makes it easier for kids to pour their own bowls while keeping the cereal fresh longer. Check out more from Malt-O-Meal by heading to maltomeal.com. Finally, when it comes to a yummy and quick snack Julie’s go-to is Blue Diamond Almonds. These almonds are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and 6 grams of protein in each serving. They also come in so many flavor options such as wasabi and soy sauce. You can see all the flavors from Blue Diamond at bluediamond.com.
