Often, the simple things are the best.

A bouquet of daisies. A diamond solitaire. And, now, Simple Squares, a yummy, nutritious snack made from raw ingredients: a blend of cashews and almonds, sweetened with honey, plus flax, vanilla, sea salt and such seasonings as rosemary, sage, cinnamon, cloves and coconut.

No gluten, no dairy, no refined sugars. The bars are both sweet and savory; and because they are not baked the nutritional value is not compromised.

Because I am committed to NOT skipping breakfast, I have found Simple Squares to be a great grab-and-go. Why settle for a donut when you can have a treat that is filling and good for you?

You can find Simple Squares at such health-conscious purveyors as Talula’s Table in Kennett Square or buy them direct from the company website. They are a tad pricey, at $29.99 for 12 1.6-ounce bars.
