When we find a new snack that we know both parents and kids will love, we can’t wait to spread the word! Nurturme’s Organic Ancient Grain Cookies boast wonderful nutritional qualities that parents will love and fun flavors and shapes that will keep the kids coming back for more! These cracker-sized cookies not only taste delicious, but they are packed full of protein and immune-boosting antioxidants. Each serving also delivers a daily dose of probiotics, which help balance your good and bad bacteria – this keeps your body working the way it should and can help ease the symptoms of certain digestive problems. Nurturme’s cookies were also specifically designed with sensitive stomachs in mind, which is why they are both gluten and dairy free.

From the Mouth of a Kid:

I like these cookies because they have cool pictures on them!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Nurturme cookies are a lunchbox staple in our household. Not only do they taste great, but I feel comfortable giving them to my kids, especially because I know they’re getting their daily dose of probiotics! The kids love them because they taste delicious and each cookie has a fun ancient design, which I like to use as a chance for a mini history lesson when they let me! You can’t go wrong with these cookies – we especially love the cocoa ones!

Flavorful Features:

Nurturme’s Organic Ancient Grain Cookies come in two delicious flavors: Cocoa and Lemon + Honey.

The Icing on the Cake:

These individually packed snacks act as the perfect lunchbox treat. They’re certified organic, non-GMO, and kosher. The four ancient grains in each cookie are also great for growth and development.

With summer winding down, there are less opportunities to get out and grill. This Honey-Brined Grilled Shrimp from our friends at Cooking Light is a fast and easy way to celebrate the last days of summer.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Devein shrimp, and remove legs from shells, if desired. (Do not remove shells from shrimp.) Combine 1 cup boiling water, salt, and 2 1/2 tablespoons honey in a large bowl; stir until the salt dissolves. Add ice cubes; stir until mixture cools. Add shrimp, and refrigerate 20 minutes. Remove shrimp from bowl, discarding liquid. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels; toss shrimp with 1 1/2 teaspoons honey.

2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

3. Place red wine vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a large bowl; stir with a whisk to combine. Gradually add olive oil, stirring constantly with a whisk until well blended. Stir in parsley, onion, oregano, and garlic.

4. Arrange unpeeled shrimp on grill grates coated with cooking spray; grill shrimp, uncovered, 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and cooked through. Add shrimp to bowl with vinegar mixture; toss well to coat. Arrange shrimp mixture on a platter; top with sliced Fresno chile.

 Tips & Trick:

• Ask your fish monger to devein your shrimp ahead of time.
• If Fresno chiles are too spicy for your little ones, replace them with sweet bell peppers.
