Healthy Happy Snacks- Don't leave home without them

As a foodie, I strictly abide by the rule "never leave home with out HEALTHY HAPPY SNACKS, oh and water of course."

 I can remember being about age 10 or so, in the car with my Brother and Mom, just passing the forest I adore to this day (which meant we were still really close to home) and feeling this horrible sensation of hunger in my stomach. I really don't remember where we were going or how soon after MY STARVATION we ate, but I do know that pretty well since then, I never leave home with out a snack. For me and my kids alike, hunger equals horrible moods, and irrationality. Some thing I can easily prevent! 

I used to always pack whole fruit like apples and nuts and such until one day while driving I popped a handful of almonds in my mouth and I suppose they went down the wrong way because I started choking! I drank all the water in the car, but was still choking. I looked down to see a Halls cough drop, (they are my slight addiction) quickly ate it and my throat was clear and I stopped choking. That is the true story of how halls saved my life and why I now rarely pack  whole, raw nuts for a car snack. So Granola bars and  muffins replaced the nuts until I  found this shasha raw buckwheat snack in one of my local grocery stores. The kids and I love the ShaSha heart shaped ginger snaps, and their spelt breadcrumbs, so I thought Id give it a whirl! They tested kid and mom approved. And they are peanut free. You can check out the ingredients bellow...

Look how cute and small. No choking and perfect for little fingers!

enjoy~!
