Snacking can sometimes get out of hand, especially when it’s a special occasion. But not to worry – there’s a medal-worthy smorgasbord of better-for-you snack choices thanks to President’s Choice® Blue Menu™ that has everything you need to watch history-in-the-making. Don’t have time to hit the gym, sharpen your skates or wax your skis? With nutrition pillars dedicated to good stuff like omega-3s, soy protein, more fibre and less fat, this year’s Healthy Insider’s Report® – featuring more than 50 new PC® Blue Menu products among its 400-plus skus – will have the whole family ready to perform like athletes…or just watch them! New Must Try PC Blue Menu Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, for example, may be good for you, but they also have every bit of that scrumptious cookie flavour you crave. They’re a high source of fibre, plus they’re loaded with omega-3s thanks to the black chia seeds, which give them a delectable nutty flavour. Try the new PC Blue Menu Tortilla Chips with PC Blue Menu White Bean & Roasted Garlic Dip! These new tasty tortilla chips are extra-crunchy and flavourful without the extra sodium. Try every flavour (Sweet Potato, Vegetable & Flaxseed and Hemp & Sesame) topped off with the PC Blue Menu Dip in delicious White Bean & Roasted Garlic. If the sound of the dip isn’t tempting enough, it only has 40 calories and 1.5g of fat per serving! The dip is also a great low-fat alternative to mayonnaise on a sandwich. PC Blue Menu is trusted by the President’s Choice-sponsored Canadian Alpine Ski Team and Para-Alpine Ski team. Several products, like the PC Blue Menu Chili, were tested by the team. Alpine skier Victoria Whitney says that “the vegetarian chili was my favourite! I don’t get to have chili often when I’m on the road and this one tastes like it’s homemade.” With microwave-friendly choices like this, you’ll never miss the action and have to catch the replay.
