😋 @simplemills makes our favorite crackers! I was so excited to see some new flavors on my last trip to Costco.
🍋 They have a new sweet cracker in lemon flavor that is so delicious!
🍯 My kids love the sweet cracker in honey cinnamon to dunk in milk for an after school snack.
🧀 The Farmhouse Cheddar is amazing I accidentally ate almost an entire bag the other day 🫣 when I was hungry before dinner. These are the perfect snack to keep in your car for when your kids say they’re hungry but you forgot to bring a snack!
🤌🏻 I always buy the plain crackers for my kids’ lunches because they love homemade lunchables but I want to make them a little healthier. I use Simple Mills crackers because the ingredients are much cleaner (almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds) along with some deli meat and cheese.
👀 Look for these on your next trip to Costco in the cracker aisle! #austinhummingbirds #simplemills #partnership
