These snacks appeal to us on many levels. The part of us that's focused on health loves that they're made with grains and veggies (corn, sorghum, tomato, beets, etc.) The part of us that's focused on chewing delicious things loves the crunch and mouthwatering flavors: Sweet & Salty, White Cheddar, and Sea Salt! These treats are brought to us by the folks at Snikiddy.

This time, she's forecasting that crickets and other bugs will take center stage in the future as an inexpensive protein source. What do you think of this trend? Would you eat cricket-infused protein bars?

Drink coffee now, prevent dementia later.
This is good info, especially if you're sipping a cup of java as you read this morning's news. A
recent study suggests that higher than average caffeine intake could prevent dementia and other age-related cognitive impairment. It's always nice to hear about something enjoyable we can do to maintain our health. Bottoms up!
Worth ordering online: FitVine Wine, with under 100 calories per glass!
Get this: According to the company,
FitVine wines have more antioxidants and fewer sulfites than traditional wine, plus they’re lower in carbs and contain no residual sugar. And a 5-oz. glass has just 90 - 95 calories! We tasted all three varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. They're a bit mild in flavor, but we like 'em! If you're a wine fan who's looking to save calories and sugar, you'll want to
place an order and check these out for yourself.
That’s all we’ve got. ’Til next time… Chew the right thing!
