Just got back from the grocery store and I have multigrain on my mind! Such an important part of our daily food diary, and yet there's still some of you out there "avoiding carbs!" Yes, white carbs like, rice, bread, crackers, etc do send your body on a glycemic index* rollercoaster ride. BUT all those things (rice, bread and crackers) and can be found in delightful multi and whole grain varieties that keep you satisfied longer between meals, because they fill you with fiber and are full of nutrients. (unlike its "white" carb counterparts that have been overprocessed to the point of no return) So don't avoid the "carbs"! Choose whole grain varieties of your favorites and munch on! Your body needs that energy!
One of my favorite treats is the multigrain crackers WASA. Found in a bunch of flavor varieties you can eat them as they are or use them in place of bread in your sandwiches. But the fun doesn't stop there, check out all the "snack-ablities" at:
