    Starting off the Year With Nature’s Path

    By 102 Comments

    I partnered with this brand in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

    With a new year upon us, many of us like to start fresh. From healthy eating to exercising or just wanting to be healthy in general, it can be hard to know where to start. For me, I am focusing on getting my 10,000 steps in everyday and yes even in the rain and snow so far, I have walked a few miles outside. This is the first winter, I am putting in an effort to stay moving. I am not a fan of exercising, but I don’t mind walking outside around my neighborhood.

    I have been saying every year I am going to get healthy and loose the baby-weight I gained, but my youngest daughter is now 5 years old! Healthy eating is something I am also working on, slowly but surely. Nature’s Path is a line that has some great products to kick off a new year of healthy eating. The products are perfect to start off the day or snack on to refuel.

    Love Crunch® – Dark Chocolate & Red Berries

    This premium organic granola is the perfect combination of two things – fruit and chocolate. It is packed with 14g of whole grains per 30g serving and an excellent source of ALA Omega-3s. Oh and its low sodium, 0g trans fat and cholesterol free! The main flavors are cocoa, flax and coconut. I like granola on my vanilla yogurt in the morning and this is a great way to start the morning.

    Nature’s Path has a great recipe called “Love Crunch Family-Style Pancake” that uses Nature’s Path Love Crunch:

    For Oatmeal fans, Nature’s Path has some great oatmeal flavors available including Pumpkin Spice with Chia. An oatmeal packed with 29g whole grains, 5g of protein and 4g of fiber sounds like a perfect way to start the day! I am not a big pumpkin fan but in oatmeal it is not bad! I love that Nature’s Path uses seasonal flavors to spice up their oatmeal.

    If you really like granola, Nature’s Path has tons of great granola flavors that are perfect with milk or topped on yogurt. There is Flax Plus Pumpkin Granola and Chia Coconut Granola, both excellent sources of ALA Omega-3, Fiber, Protein and whole grains. I honestly don’t think I have ever had Flax or Chia so I can’t explain too much about them but they do taste good. I will say the boxes are small, but I read on the box that since Nature’s Path is committed to being as sustainable as possible they shrunk down the box without loosing any of the cereal. I love that it suggests using these granolas as a cereal as I never would have thought of that – such a great idea!

     

    Whatever you are in the mood for, Nature’s Path has the fuel to start your day. As a passionate, family-run company that believes in organic food and farming, they definitely know what they are doing. Nature’s Path has been around for the last 30 years and has grown to North America’s largest certified organic breakfast and snack food company with a product line of over 150 cold cereals, granolas, hot oatmeal, waffles, bars and cookies.

      I try to be healthy when I start my day. I like to have water. Heated up. And poured over coffee grounds. … Coffee. I drink coffee.

      In the morning, I have toast and hot tea. On Fridays, my special treat is coffee. It is my coffee day, and it is the best day of the week!

      Starting the day off right for me is a cup of coffee & a yogurt toped with granola. Then a long walk with my fur baby

      I work overnights, so I don’t usually eat “breakfast” foods when I wake up. I eat them on my first break at work (~12:30-1 AM), especially granola.

      It really depends on what I’m doing for the day. If I’m going somewhere early, I get dressed and eat some cottage cheese. If I’m not, I usually forget to eat and read my Bible or something.

      I start my day with so much coffee!! I don’t necessarily like to start my day with it but I pretty much have to start my day with it since my toddler is an early riser!

      i start my day with a hug from my older daughter and she tells me about her dreams. then we decide what to have for breakfast. some mornings we cook together and some mornings i cook for her. then we usually sit together and chat or read our magazines – she has highlights and i read whatever gossip mag i have on hand. we usually have a pretty busy morning once the baby wakes up and we’re homeschooling, so a good breakfast is important for us.

      I like to start my day with a cup of hot chocolate since I don’t like coffee and sit with my kids while they have breakfast since I’m not a breakfast person.

      My day normally starts with a bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit, nuts, raisins and some sort of sweetener like honey or maple syrup.

      I’m not alone when I start my day with good strong coffee. Good and strong! With real cream and sugar in it. It’s one of life’s biggest pleasures. After a few hours, I like to have something to eat. Yogurt and granola and fruit is a frequent choice!

      I love to start my day with a good breakfast and a cup of coffee and juice. Sometimes time will not allow that.

      I usually start the day with a cup of coffee but I love to have a hot bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon and apples and walnuts especially in the cold winter months.
