Free Friday: KIND Snack Bars

freefriday0205.jpg

Come with empty pockets, because cash is not required. There's no better time than the present to take healthy snacking to heart. February is American Heart Awareness Month and what better way to kick it off than to start making some simple food swaps that can have huge heart benefits! Here to tell us about "Heart-Smart Swaps" is Nutritionist Samina Riaz.

Riaz suggested these heart-healthy tips:
1. Replace sugar-coated cereals for a bowl of oatmeal.
2. Replace high calorie, high fat candy bars for a KIND bar, it's a healthy snack made up of whole nuts and fruit that taste delicious.

All Starbucks will be sampling KIND bars today. There are different flavors so something for everyone and they offer a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats which have been scientifically proven to help lower LDL 'bad' cholesterol, great for Heart Month.

For more details, visit www.starbucks.com or www.kindsnacks.com.

KIND bars have an excellent taste quality as an added bonus to their nutritional benefits. I recommend them to everyone.
