Whenever we’re planning a long trip, we like to take snacks to keep us fueled during the journey. We need easy food to satisfy hunger and something that can double as a quick breakfast so we don’t have to compromise nutrition for convenience; plus, eco-friendly packaging is always a bonus. Well ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you that we’ve finally found a product that encompasses all those attributes, and more. Our new go-to travel food is Lesley Stowe’s Raincoast Cookies…
Available in three complementary flavour combinations (Dark Chocolate, Dark Cherry & Pecan/ Apricot, Ginger & Slivered Almond/ Dried Cranberry & Toasted Hazelnut), each cookie is packed with whole grains, high fibre chicory root, flax seed and protein rich chia to keep us full and deliciously nourished throughout the day. Additionally, rice-paper packaging makes these all natural cookies eco-conscious.
Where can you purchase these tasty treats? Urban Fare Shangri-La in downtown Vancouver, BC presently has a good selection of Raincoast Cookies, and they’re also sold at Whole Foods Markets (currently only available in Canada). Taste them for yourselves!
