Aussie Bites are made by Costco—they are basically loaded oatmeal cookies full of seeds and dried fruits, but shaped like tiny dense muffins.
If you buy them in-store or via same-day delivery (powered by instacart) they come without extra packaging. If you order them with Costco 2-day, they’ll be individually wrapped. The flavor is better on the former, but not as convenient for taking on the go. Both have >3 month shelf-life, so you can stock up.
Sturdy enough that you could make a pyramid of them at an event, but if you throw a pre-packaged one in your backpack, there’s a fair chance that it will become crumbly.
Heating them for ~15 seconds in the microwave — which I recommend — also causes some sort of structural integrity issue, so you’ll want a small plate to be sure you get all the crumbs. I usually eat them with a milky black tea (Vanilla Chai Tea) for breakfast.
They have rolled oats, so they’re not Perfect Health Diet compliant, but they are organic. For years I had them in the “savory snack” section of the website, but my most recent batch were unwrapped and the oatmeal cookie comparison was truly undeniable, so I made the switch. They’re still not quite candy or cookies and they feel considerably healthier than the also delicious Costco brownie bites. 🤷♀️
Note: I had a friend who complained about the chia or flax seeds he’d find in his teeth afterward, but I don’t think that was actually a deterrent. 🙃
You can also get them at Walmart or Amazon, but with a considerable markup (maybe $12 at Costco vs. $20+ elsewhere). If you have the login for a membership account, Costco offers free shipping if you hit $75 in their two-day delivery section; see my Costco shopping list for other recommendations.)
