And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Great New(tritious) Snack

March 22nd, 2010 • Related • Filed Under

I love snacking on nuts, but don’t love the amount of fat and calories that come with that snack. Don’t get me wrong — nuts in moderation are certainly a nutritious snacking option, but sometimes 20 almonds is just not enough!

Enter KooLoos- an original new snack that packs lots of taste by combining roasted soybeans and organic ground flaxseed — without the fat! KooLos are:

  • Rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acid
  • A good source of soy protein (7 grams of protein in a 1-ounce serving)
  • Heart-healthy
  • Cholesterol-free
  • Trans Fat-free
  • Contain 20 ms of isoflavones from soybeans and 3 grams of dietary fiber per 1-ounce serving

KooLoos come in three flavors: Honey B.B.Q., Salsa (my favorite) and Original. They are a baked snack and they contain 60 percent less fat than peanuts.

KooLoos are available at health and mainstream food store nationwide for an SRP of $1.99 to $2.29. You can find more information about them here or join their Facebook page, would may have coupons down the road, here.

    Thanks again for the great review of KooLoos! Seapoint Farms put together a video to inspire kids to snack healthier which involved the KooLoos. We thought you might like it. Take a look when you have a chance :)
