Supermarket RD’s Pick: Pressed by KIND

Can another bar makes it’s mark on the grocery store shelves? I think so! That’s why I picked Pressed by KIND as this week’s Supermarket RD’s Pick.
Supermarket RD's Pick: Pressed by KIND via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenIt’s no secret I love KIND bars, so I was super excited when I saw this new line – Pressed by KIND.
Not only do they taste delicious; each bar is made with five simple ingredients or less – only fruit, vegetables or chia (with no sugar added!).
If you haven’t heard, KIND created the Nutrition Collective, a group of registered dietitians to work collectively with KIND to help people be kinder to their bodies. As a member, you get wide range of resources like nutrition information, product samples, coupons, early access to KIND’s health and wellness initiatives.

According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, one component of a healthy diet includes a variety of whole fruits and vegetables. From fresh to dried to frozen – vegetables and fruits are nutritious in all forms! Though daily recommendations vary based on age and activity level, adults who are somewhat physically active should consume 1 ½-2 cups of fruit and 2-3 cups of vegetables per day.

When you are “pressed” for time these Pressed by KIND bars come in handy. Each Pressed by KIND™ bar counts as 1 cup of fruit or 50% of the recommended daily fruit intake according to the USDA MyPlate guidelines. Plus, they are:

  • gluten free
  • good source of fiber
  • non-GMO
  • no preservatives
  • dairy free
  • vegan

If you haven’t noticed, KIND came out with these new breakfast bars. These new bars (the raspberry chia flavor in particular) contain 5 whole grains including: oats, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa along with a filling 6 grams of fiber.

It will help with portion control because portion sizes will naturally start to shrink in order to include various other food groups on your plate. Plus, it will help reach the minimum recommendation of aiming to consume at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day. More matter!

It feels like eating dessert for breakfast!

  • Total Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

Scale

  2. Open up KIND breakfast bars packages. Scoop about 1/3 cup onto one side of the breakfast bar and spread evenly. Top with the other breakfast bar (not too tight, so filling doesn’t spill out!)
