Don’t you just love snacks? Small, sweet, and the perfect pick-me-up during any stressful situation, snacks are meant to give you a boost in your day and make things just a little bit better. If you’re anything like me, you get more excited about snack time than meal time!

But with snacks almost always comes something we don’t love — Guilt. Yes, as soon as that tasty-treat is finished, we begin to feel remorse, doubt, and even anger over our sweet sensation. “Why did I give in so quickly” we ask ourselves, only to spend the rest of the day upset about the simple choice we made to have a few minutes of happiness.
Why does guilt have to always accompany snack time? Why can’t we have a guilt-free, snacking experience that makes us happy and leaves us satisfied? I’m hear to tell you that now you can, and this is how. Using our versatile powdered peanut butter, heart-healthy rolled oats, and delicious freeze dried mangos, we’ve created a delicious, mouth-watering snack that won’t leave you feeling guilty afterwards. And isn’t that what real happiness is all about? Grab a spoon, it’s time to mix up some Chocolate Mango Oatmeal Bites!
