Kid-Tested, Mother Nature-Approved

Contributed By: Heidi Atwal

Let’s face it: health food gets a bad rap. Anything labeled “gluten free,” “vegan,” and, horror of horrors, “raw,” is often assumed to be bland and flavorless. After sampling a smorgasbord of snacks by Two Moms in the Raw, however, we beg to differ.

On-the-go energy boosters like the Cacao Chia Bar are chock-full of mom-approved ingredients, from organic sunflower seeds to quinoa to dates, with a dash of pure cacao powder and agave swirled in for palate pleasing sweetness. If you’ve ever struggled to get your children to down cereal that isn’t drenched in sugar and partially-hydrogenated rubbish, try serving up a bowl of cinnamon-spiked organic cereal instead—an instant crowd pleaser.

Meanwhile, adults can partake of guilt-free indulgence by keeping a few Almond Butter Cacao Truffles around as a post-meal treat. Gluten-free and laced with a touch of sea salt to balance out their flavor, the truffles are hardly a lesser alternative to more calorific versions; they’re rich and decadent in their own right.

What snacks by Two Moms in the Raw lack in added oils and refined sugar they more than compensate for in pure—and we do mean pure, raw, handmade—tastiness. We’ll take seconds, please.
