2018 Father’s Day Gift Guide: Great goodies for outdoorsy dads

CRICKSTART

Does Dad have a passion for protein, a yen for snacking and a taste for the exotic? Why not stock him up with snacks from Crickstart—a Canadian company that makes protein bars, gourmet crackers and smoothie mixes with certified-organic cricket powder. Yep, that’s Canadian-farmed, Canadian-made cricket snacks. The protein bars are great to pack on hunting or fishing trips for a healthy snack or low glycemic energy boost. We’ve tried the chilli- and olive-flavoured crackers, and the lemon lime bars here in the Outdoor Canadaoffice, and we can say that they taste like… well, crackers and protein bars, and not at all cricket-y. Though it’s sure fun to watch the faces of more delicate diners as you munch them.
