Mindful Choices
We listen and learn from people around the world to understand what they want and need. These insights help us create snacks to support every taste, lifestyle and moment - from morning nourishment and exercise fuel to afternoon pick-me-ups and small moments of joyful delight.
Mindful Recipes
We believe snacks can taste great while moving toward ingredient and nutrition enhancements. Guided by nutrition science and consumers’ feedback, we’re enhancing our recipes by adding more wholesome ingredients to our snacks like whole grains and fiber, and reducing sugar, sodium, and saturated fat, while still maintaining deliciousness.
Mindful Portions
We’re here to help you make informed choices and enjoy your snacks with balance. Many of our snacks come in individually wrapped portions of up to 200 calories, with clear, simple labeling that makes it easy to enjoy what you love and choose the portion that is right for you.
Mindful Eating
We’re helping make mindfulness part of every snacking moment, by inviting you to be present, enjoy food with all your senses, and find satisfaction in every bite. Our packaging, pairing ideas, and online resources help make mindful eating simple and accessible.
The Perfect Pairing
Turn your snack break into a mindful pairing activity! Pick a favorite snack and find its perfect match – like chocolate with fruit, crackers with hummus, or cookies with milk. Before enjoying them together, notice how each combination changes the flavor, texture, and enhances your enjoyment. Which pairing feels right for the moment?
The Snack Match
Before your first bite, find the serving size or check the portion label depicted on your snack pack. Check-in and guess what your portion size might look like for that moment. Once you’re satisfied, notice what you’ve actually eaten and compare it with the labelled portion size – did they match? If not this time, that’s okay. The goal is to become more aware of your needs.
Tune-In Challenge
Workday done and heading straight for the fridge? Tune in to what your body and mind are saying. Snack on a few bites, then check in again. Are you still hungry for more, or starting to feel satisfied and more relaxed? Be fully present and let your snack break match your moment!
TAKE A SNACK BREAK
Mindful eating is about being fully present and connecting with your food – and it can be fun! It's an opportunity to step away from autopilot and approach your snack with curiosity. You can engage with all your senses and tune in to your hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues as you eat. The following simple activities might offer ways to help you stay present, be engaged, and fully enjoy your snack.
