It all began with Michelle Francis and her beloved husband Corey Winer that shared a passion to provide the world with healthy foods. Michelle and Corey changed their eating ways before ZenSweet was created when she was diagnosed with numerous food sensitivities like wheat, eggs, milk and sugar. They weren't feeling as strong and healthy and changed their lifestyle which lead them to eliminating foods that were processed , refined and ones that could cause allergies and began searching for products to satisfy those needs. When the markets failed to provide them with healthy snacks they created their very own recipes where they eliminated foods that caused inflammation or blood sugar spikes . The snacks on the market didn't taste good and didn't meet their needs when coming to a low-glycemic and allergy free Lifestyle . It took them years to create the perfect sugar-free and allergy-free snacks  which they combined family recipes together when ZenSweet was bor...

It all began with Founder Will Nitze where he majored in Psychology and Neuroscience at Harvard and became then fascinated by how the human brain works.  When he entered the work environment he discovered he was having difficulty with his own brain where brain fog and fatigue were a daily occurrence, for a quick fix he turned to caffeinated beverages and sugary snacks just to focus only making the problem worse to his growing list of cognitive issues. On a quest to get to the root of the problem he tried and tested all sorts of ways from getting more exercise and sleep as well. When amphetamines showed a desire to be dependent with negative side effects he then went grain-free and ate a high in fat healthy diet which was developed by Brain Nutrition expert Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. Mark Hyman. Not long after Will traded in his beloved diet of pasta and bread for healthy swaps such as nuts and avocados he reached new heights with his cognitive performance. Will'...

It all began in 2013 when founders of Rxbar called BS on those other protein bars looking for a more healthier bar that was made up of real ingredients which most of them lack and fell short in finding them so two best friends created their very own in the kitchen. Take it from their ingredients 3 egg whites, 2 dates, and 6 almonds with no B.S. It's how nutritious food should be made using little ingredients that are not only healthy but taste great as well. RxBar knows good food it took them over 250 formulations to perfect their coconut chocolate bar (favorite of mine) and am so glad they did because it literally tastes like an almond joy only in protein bar form and made with dates to sweeten. Rx Bar flavors include Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Sea Salt Peanut Butter Chocolate Apple Cinnamon Blueberry Mixed Berry Coffee Chocolate  Maple Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Chocolate Mint Peanut Butter Rx Bars kid bars Chocolate Chip Apple Cinnamon R...

During the summer months Jamie  spent her days in the garden where she created ways to add fruits and vegetables into meals and to enjoy them on the go  and that's how Watermelon Road fruit jerky began by not only fre...
