The extra protein and rich taste is appealing to peo- ple all over the world. If you're reading this, you're probably familiar with our snack bars made of fruit, almonds, authentic Greek yogurt and granola. They were our first Greek yogurt dipped snacks − the products that launched our brand − and we're thrilled that so many consumers fell in love with their health- fulness, convenience, and, of course, deliciousness. But the story doesn't stop there, because at Rickland Orchards we're always innovating. It's what drove us to create the secret recipe for the Greek yogurt coating on our granola bars. And now, it has driven us to create a whole new class of snacks. The new product line is an extension to the original Greek Yogurt bar line, offering another easy way to enjoy the great taste of Greek yogurt. So say hello to our Greek yogurt bite-sized snacks. They're little balls of Greek yogurt-coated goodness that can be eaten any- where, anytime. These bite-sized snacks have iron, calcium, and good sources of fiber and protein too! We like to call them Greek on the Go™. We're currently offering a handful of granola bite flavors: Mango, Mixed Berry Acai, Strawberry, Super Fruit, Passion Fruit and more. But, we didn't stop at granola centers – we have pret- zels and almonds too – plus one deli- cious twist: a dark chocolate Greek yogurt coating. More fla- vors are soon to come, so stay tuned. Also watch for other new Greek yogurt dipped snacks. Our chefs have been working hard to perfect fresh recipes and other new product launch ideas. Until then, enjoy the bites and bars, and if you have an idea for a tasty Greek yogurt- coated snack, please share it! Check us out at www.facebook.com/ricklandor- chards or on Twitter @greekonthego. Happy snacking! For more information, visit booth 7446 or go online to www.ricklandorchards.com.
