Flakes? We've met our fair share. We're not into naming names (our mamma taught us better than that), but those we’ve run into have always left us with a bad taste in our mouth.
Which is why we were so pleasantly surprised after taste-driving Equinox Organic Maple Flakes ($4.49). Not only are they chock full of flavour, but they add a satisfying sweet crunch to our lattes and yogurt (and on our more ambitious evenings, gourmet dishes like tuna tartare). With two different flavours to choose from—straight up Maple and tangy Cranberry Maple—we’re giving all our regular recipes a unique, sophisticated twist.
Unlike those other flakes of the culinary world (calorie dense and nutrient deficient sugar, and calorie deficient and nutrient deficient aspartame) these flakes are full of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Made with pure dehydrated organic Maple Syrup, they have the same nutrition as the liquid stuff we love, but with only 10 calories for two teaspoons.
Which means we can get dash happy without having to spend extra time with flakes of the Richard Simmons variety.
