Product Snapshot: One of the biggest issues parents have when it comes to kids snacks is finding something that their kids will love and they’ll also feel good about feeding them. Traditional cracker-style snacks and chips, although fan-favorites among kids are often jam-packed with artificial colors, flavors and ingredients we can’t pronounce…until now.

Leading Australian snack producer has recently launched Messy Monkeys in the US. These baked whole grain bites are jam packed with sorghum (a nutrient powerhouse) and quinoa (ancient grain), all while delivering 14 percent protein and seven percent fiber per serving. Plus, with natural flavors such as pizza, cheese and apple cinnamon, kids nationwide will be clamoring to get their hands on these snackable cracker and chip alternatives.

Messy Monkeys are an allergy-friendly, peanut-free and gluten-free baked snack that parents of varying income brackets can feel good about purchasing and feeding to their kids. Messy Monkeys will be available starting in September 2018 at regional BJ’s stores, and can currently be purchased on Amazon here.
