Nutritionally Balanced Snacks

The New Balanced Breaks Snacks are Made for Nutritious Snacking

Sargento Foods recently rolled out a new line of nutrition-focused snacks called Balanced Breaks. With a growing number of consumers snacking on the go, there is a growing demand for food products that are made for maximum portability. These new snack kits differ from comparable products in that they are not only handy, but they are also nutritionally complete.

The new Balanced Breaks snacks feature different combinations of nuts, cheese and dried fruit. The inclusion of multiple different ingredients not only creates delicious flavor combinations, but also provides consumers with a nutritional boost that keeps hunger at bay. In fact, each snack kit packs up to eight grams of protein while still clocking in at less than 200 calories per serving.

For consumers looking for an all-on-one snack that does not compromise on flavor, the Balanced Breaks kits from Sargento Foods are the perfect option.
