Be a snack-time hero

For a snack that’s as ideal for a camp lunch box as it is for a beach bag, I am grateful to New Jersey-based My Super Foods.

My mini dining critic and I recently discovered their Super Cookies, and they’re as addictive for kids bearing cups of milk as moms clutching coffee. Our favorite flavors — chocolate and honey — are akin to crispy, richly flavorful animal cookies — except these are shaped like kid super heroes! My Super Cookies are also a terrific topping crumbled over a bowl of yogurt or ice cream.

My Super Foods Company’s adorable packaging boasts illustrations of caped good-nutrition-crusaders which caught my son’s attention. The interesting list of nourishing ingredients caught mine: acerola (a vitamin C-rich fruit), baobab (nutrient-rich Tree of Life fruit), chia seeds, quinoa, and more are in each little cookie.

Super Cookies are also special for what they don’t contain: artificial colors, preservatives, trans fats, or nuts.
