Canadian Brands

We get quite a few guests at the Resort each week that are from Canada. They are a bit frustrated that I don't include brand recommendations for Canadians. This is understandable. I have never lived in or even visited Canada (although I would love to!) so I am very unfamiliar with Canadian brands. But I have conducted a bit of homework and thought I would compile a list. I hope this is helpful!

Grains: Look for whole grains in the ingredient list, 80-120 calories per serving, 3-5 grams fiber and less than 6 grams of sugar.

• Kashi
• Nature's Path
• Food For Life
• Ezekial
• La Tortilla Factory
• Annie's Homegrown
• Bob's Red Mill
• Hodgson's Mill
• Triscuits
• Barbara's Bakery
• Back to Nature
• Nature Valley
• Quaker

Dairy: Buying unsweetened dairy products is always preferred. If it is flavored, aim for less than 20 grams of sugar per serving.

• Eden Soy Milk
• Almond Breeze
• Silk Soy Milk
• Liberte
• Stonyfield Farms
• Oikos
• Horizon
• Chobani
• Siggi's
• Skotidakis
• Total (Like Fage greek yogurt in the US)

Meats: Referring to lunch meats (you can view a blog post about those here)

• Applegate Farms
• Maple Leaf Natural Selections

Fats:

• Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter
• Adam's Natural Peanut Butter
• Goodness Me Natural Peanut Butter
• Earth balance spreads

Others:

• Kind Bars
• Larabars
• Amy's brand (soups, frozen meals)
• Healthy Choice (soups, frozen meals)
• Eden brand canned beans, fruit, oils and vinegars, whole grains

And I know you have fresh fruits and vegetables :).

Did I miss any? If there are any Canadians that have questions on brands, you are more than welcome to post them in the comments and I can look into them. In fact, it will only add to the list!
