Create great snacks and meals with WASA Crispbreads (Giveaway – ends 3/3/2012)

I am always on the look out for healthier snack and food options for my family. I take pride in the fact that my kids don’t inhale a bag of chips the moment they get home from school. Instead they usually grab better-for-you snack options like unsalted pretzels, raw baby carrots or an orange. I’m not saying that my kids are not allowed to have chips. They are. They just know that they have to keep it to a minimum.

My kids like to eat crackers. Sometimes they spread them with peanut butter and other times with cream cheese. While crackers are yummy I don’t necessarily consider them filling. You could easily down a half a package of crackers if you are not watching what you are eating.

Have you ever tried WASA Crispbreads before? They are like flatbreads. I’m sure you have seen them on the store shelves. Wasa is the world’s largest producer of flatbreads.

Did you know that Swedes eat more flatbread than any other people in the world? They eat almost 4 kilograms per capita. Wow! Flatbreads are actually available in most countries especially in other Scandinavian countries and Germany.

WASA Crispbreads are a yummy and wholesome alternative to crackers, or even bread. They are packed with whole grains. They are a healthier alternative but they don’t taste like “health food”. 

WASA Crispbreads are available in a variety of flavors and can be enjoyed morning, noon and night. You can can use them as a snack, a meal or they can accompany a meal. They are very versatile.

I find WASA Crispbreads to be very filling and satisfying. Where as I could easily down a half a package of saltines or other crackers, with the WASA I can have 1-2 crispbreads and feel full and satisfied.

Each WASA Crispbread has only 35-60 calories per slice. They are also all natural and fat free, except for two of the flavors (one has .05 grams of fat, the other 1.5 grams per serving). They are made with natural ingredients such as whole grain wheat, yellow corn, whole grain barley and whole grain quinoa.

You can top WASA Crispbreads with just about anything. Personally I like them with the low calori Laugh Cow Cheese (those small triangle shaped spreads). One triangle of cheese is enough to cover 2 slices of WASA.

My kids like WASA with Nutella. They like everything with Nutella.

WASA goes great with tuna fish. Use the WASA Crispbreads in place of regular bread for your sandwich. I’m just as filling as bread.

You can top WASA Crispbreads with cream cheese and fresh fruit or jam. You can also top them with hummus, refried beans, butter, peanut butter, banana, avocado or guacamole. The possibilities are endless!

WASA Crispbreads are great to dunk into soup too and go great as a side dish for stews and chili.

If you visit the WASA website you’ll find some recipes for WASA Crispbreads that I would never think to try and they sound SO GOOD too.  They have recipes for Feta and Tomato Bruschetta on WASA, WASA Garlic (I’m going to try this recipe!), Ham and Swiss Muffuletta on Wasa and Wasa with Scrambled Eggs, Tricolor Peppers and Leeks. There are dozens of recipes found on the WASA website.

WASA Crispbreads are available in a variety of flavors so you can mix and match the breads with the various recipes and toppings. Some of the varities include Multigrain, Sourdough, Sesame (my favorite!), Light Rye and Hearty, to name a few.
