The Popular ‘Healthier For You’ Snacking Option Just Got More Delicious

As they continue to firmly plant their flag in the sand as the nation’s Ultimate Dip Destination, the team at ¡Yo Quiero!, has released the newest in their line of ‘better for you’ snacking options: ¡Yo Quiero!’s NEW Original Bean Dip and ¡Yo Quiero!’s NEW Spicy Bean Dip.  Both premium refrigerated dips are packed with the protein and nutrients found in humble beans, are full of flavorful spices and packaged in sizes created for convenience and any dip occasion.

As an impressive addition to the growing roster of products available nationwide, ¡Yo Quiero!’s Bean Dips are doing double-duty by counting as both protein and vegetable for the increasing health-conscious ‘better for you’ snacking population.

“Beans are not widely known as a Superfood, but they are, and they pack a serious nutritional punch,” says Tara Murray, VP of Marketing for ¡Yo Quiero!, the family-owned Texas-based company known for their commitment to help people ‘eat good to feel good’. She continues, “Beans are loaded with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that can help reduce inflammation, fend off chronic diseases, contribute to weight loss, improve gut health, and promote satiety.”

“Consumers are looking for snacks that are filling, delicious, and have a health benefit, and our new Bean Dips fit the bill perfectly,” she says.

“After a thorough research and development process, our team landed on the expertly blended mix of beans and spices that make up ¡Yo Quiero!’s NEW Original Bean Dip.  ¡Yo Quiero!’s NEW Spicy Bean Dip takes the Original and kicks it up a notch with the addition of peppers to the mouth-watering recipe,” says Jay Alley, Co-Owner and Vice President of ¡Yo Quiero!.

For the past few years, ¡Yo Quiero! has been paying close attention to the seismic shift in snacking trends, especially the higher consumer demand for fresh, convenient, healthier-for-you choices in the fridge and pantry. In 2022, they responded with the release of their wildly successful line of ¡Yo Quiero!’s avocado-forward cream cheese dips which includes the Avocado Spinach Artichoke, Avocado Spinach Bacon, Avocado Bacon, Ranch and Cheddar, and Avocado Jalapeno Popper Avocado Dips, all of which have fewer calories, less fat and less cholesterol than other traditional dips.

“At ¡Yo Quiero!, we are committed to the innovation, excitement, and challenges that come with bringing new dip choices to our customers. As we listen and respond to what snacking choices people are making, we will continue to develop products that support our ranking as the Ultimate Dip Destination,” says Alley.

¡Yo Quiero!’s dips, including their NEW Original Bean Dip and NEW Spicy Bean Dip, are available at select retailers across the U.S.  To learn more about ¡Yo Quiero! visit www.yoquierobrands.com and www.freshinnovationsllc.com.

The Warren Center, understands that there are many reasons why children with developmental delays and disabilities may have issues with food and eating. The Richardson-based nonprofit that provides therapy services for children with developmental delays and disabilities wants to help parents overcome these challenges by providing resources for introducing healthy and sensory-friendly snacks in honor of National Snack Food Month in February.

“For children with developmental delays and disabilities, their health may make it challenging or even uncomfortable to eat. For example, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder might be hypersensitive to loud crunchy foods, itchy textures or strong-smelling food. It is not unusual for children with autism to experience picky eating,” says Amy Spawn, executive director at The Warren Center. “They may request that food be arranged on their plate in a specific way or might have trouble trying new foods because they want everything to be the same. All children, including neurotypical ones, have favorite foods that are tried and true go-to meals, but with a little guidance from our team of experts it is possible to introduce nutritious snacks that are also sensory friendly.” 

The experts from The Warren Center share a few tips for introducing sensory-friendly foods:

  • Align new foods with your child's current tastes. Your child might be more inclined to try a new food that isn't too different from the flavors or textures they already love to eat. If they enjoy eating crunchy cheese puffs, consider adding carrots as a snack. 
  • Don't deceive your child into trying a new dish. If you trick your child into eating something new by hiding it in another food, chances are they will pick up on your deception and not like the new food. This can cause distrust and cause your child to be suspicious of new foods.
  • Offer a taste. Tell your child that the food is there if they want to try it, but they don't have to until they're ready. Be patient, this approach will take time.
  • Lead by example. Your child will be more inclined to try a new food if they see other members of their family eating and enjoying it too.
  • Share a story about the food. Use your imagination and share a story about the new food that focuses on how it can help your child grow big and strong. You can lean in on your child’s favorite book or TV character to share how much they also enjoy eating this dish.

If you are struggling with your child's picky eating, you may need professional help. Ask your child's healthcare provider if they can recommend a feeding specialist or feeding therapy program in your area. If your child is under three and is receiving Early Intervention Services, you may fold feeding therapy into their program.  

The experts at The Warren Center have identified sensory-friendly, healthy snacks, broken down by texture below.

 

  • Crunchy foods: Most people immediately think of "crunchy foods," like chips, crackers, or even candy — but there are healthy alternatives out there that can satisfy your child's taste buds, sensory needs, and nutrition, such as apples, carrots, kale chips, banana chips and crispy cauliflower tots.

 

  • Squishy Foods: Children with autism usually have a different texture fixation and love to eat foods that are squishy or creamy. These kinds of foods are often messy, but they can be very nutritious. Some healthy, squishy foods include mashed potatoes, mangos, peanut or almond butter, egg noodles, mashed bananas, avocadoes, and cottage cheese. 

 

  • Runny Foods: These foods are often more liquid than solid. Your child might enjoy the way ice cream feels going down, but it's doesn't provide any nutritional value. Instead, offer your child these healthy alternatives: yogurt, tomato soup, potato soup, smoothies, pureed fruits and protein shakes.

 

  • Soft Foods: There is a difference between soft foods and squishy foods. Soft foods are easy to chew but not slimy, like bread versus noodles. Consider introducing soft foods like shredded fish, soggy whole grain cereals, warm, cooked fruits, roasted vegetables, scrambled eggs, beans and tofu. 

The Warren Center’s team of highly skilled therapists is ready to help children with developmental delays and disabilities reach their full potential. For more information visit the nonprofit’s website or call 972-490-9055 to learn more.

The Magdalen House, a nonprofit organization helping women achieve sobriety and sustain recovery from alcoholism at no cost and based on 12-Step spiritual principles, is proud to announce the 2023 slate of board members.

“We are beyond grateful to welcome our 2023 slate of board members,” said Lisa Kroencke, executive director of The Magdalen House. “Each board member will provide our organization with a unique background and perspective, and we look forward to their expertise and guidance.”

  • Hector Patino, member at large
  • Roxanne Pero, member at large
  • Robin B. Seckel, member at large 

According to a recent study, women increased their drinking by 41% before the pandemic. Today, there are over 250,000 alcoholic women in D/FW alone. Less than 1 in 15 alcoholic women (only 6.9%) will seek formal help. Because women face more stigmatization, shame, family responsibilities, and socioeconomic barriers than men, they frequently have co-occurring disorders and are less likely to seek treatment. If you’re an alcoholic who can’t stop drinking or a concerned loved one of an alcoholic, the first step in recovery is education and access to resources. In North Texas, The Magdalen House provides residential recovery, social detox, group meetings, structured programs, family support groups, and tools designed to help grow and sustain recovery. Support and leadership from the board of directors will ensure that The Magdalen House can continue to provide no cost services to alcoholic women.

The Magdalen House is a nonprofit organization helping women achieve sobriety and sustain recovery from alcoholism at no cost and based on 12-Step spiritual principles. Founded in Dallas in 1987, The Magdalen House remains the only agency in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to offer comprehensive recovery services – without insurance or state funding – 100% free of charge. The Magdalen House is committed to helping alcoholic women achieve long-term, sustainable recovery through spiritually based, comprehensive programming.
