I’m always looking for the best new thing in protein and protein supplements- I add cricket powder to my smoothie every morning, it adds a bit of a nutty flavor to my shake, and gives me the blast of power that I need for my morning workout.

I’ve been adding cricket powder to my home-baked cookies and banana bread for months now. My kids are such picky eaters, and I was so worried that they never got any protein, calcium or iron in their diets. Now they are getting all the nutrients they need, and they have no clue because the cookies taste like cookies, and the banana bread tastes like banana bread. Add chocolate chips to anything, I always say!

I’m an adventurous eater- nothing really scares me. I had my first tacos with crickets when I was in Mexico a few years back, and I was so excited to see that my local Mexican restaurant started adding crickets to the menu. I love how the crickets give the taco an extra punch because they’re seasoned with some awesome spices, an extra crunch, and extra protein.

I went to my friend’s house to play, and they had some roasted crickets to try. I loved them! They were crunchy and kind of tasted like nuts. I want them in my lunch bag for school so that I can freak people out while I eat them!

I had my first experience eating roasted crickets a few years ago at a party I was at. I was really intrigued by the whole ecological story around insect farming. I love the fact that not only are insects healthy for humans to eat, but they’re also so good for the planet- in terms of water conservation, and preserving arable land. I have always cared about doing what’s best for the environment, and eating insects is an easy way for me to do my part to help. They’re delicious- I throw some into my oatmeal every morning.

I hike. It’s not what I do, it’s who I am. I’m always looking for the best stuff to add to my trail mix to keep me energized and feeling good on my daily hikes. I throw some whole roasted crickets in with my cranberries, toasted coconut, white chocolate and cashews. A perfect combination!
