The Hain Celestial Group is offering a giveaway filled with healthy snacks and free coupons to help spread the word about the “Take a Healthy Bite out of Reading” back to school promotion. Hain Celestial has teamed up with Barnes & Noble again (they do this often on their Earth’s Best Baby campaigns) to help inspire reading through healthy eating. I love to write about companies supporting reading. I’ve been spending the summer with different companies like the Hain Celestial group that support reading.
Reading is important to instill in your children at an early age. The “Take a Healthy Bite” promotion is a receipt redemption program, where you can send your receipts for any products from Garden of Eatin’, MaraNatha, West Soy, Earth’s Best and Health Valley in exchange for gift cards from Barnes & Noble – $5.00 card for $15 worth of product and $10 for $25 worth of product. There is also a sweepstakes element and one lucky parent will win $500 worth of free books from Barnes & Noble for their local school library.
It pays to save receipts and bar codes/upc’s for things like this that come up. I’m always saving diaper packages in hopes of finding rebates for diapers.
This giveaway will include an assortment of natural and organic products from Hain Celestial Group, including Garden of Eatin’ blue corn chips, Health Valley granola bars, Earth’s Best Tots juice boxes and coupons for free jar of MaraNatha nut butter, free 32 ounce West Soymilk and free Earth’s Best Sesame Street frozen pizza. (Total Value $25)
Visit www.takeahealthybite.com for healthy snack tips and kid friendly recipes from Keri Glassman, R.D. and sign up for the “Healthy Way of Life” newsletter to receive valuable coupons. The Sweepstakes from Take a Healthy Bite out of Reading can be found at:

Mediterranean Plate sounds wonderful. We’ve been eating a lot of hummus with chips and this rounds by adding other foods the kids like.

I would enjoy the “Fast food” Breakfast Sandwich
[Top 1 whole wheat English muffin with 1 scrambled egg, 1 slice of low fat cheese and 1 slice of Yves…If You Please® Meatless Canadian Bacon.] However, my 2 1/2 year old son would like the Berry Smoothie [Blend ¾ c frozen berries, 1 c WestSoy® Low Fat Soymilk, and ½ c ice until smooth.], especially in the summer time. It’s listed for breakfast but could go with any meal OR a perfect fruity snack.
