Farm Rich Time Outs are microwaveable snacks that were created to reflect the changing eating habits of adults, who are busier than ever and show a preference for eating convenient "snack meals" throughout the day rather than regular breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The Time Outs are bite-sized handheld snacks that may be small but come packed with protein—in fact, the snacks are contain up to 21 grams of protein per serving.
The Farm Rich Time Outs take the form of microwavable single-serve snacks with custom dipping sauces, which come in nostalgic varieties like Pepperoni Pizza Roll-ups + Marinara Sauce, Boneless Chicken Bites + Sweet BBQ Sauce and Mozzarella Bites + Marinara Sauce, which feature ingredients like real cheese and meat.
