KIND Healthy Snacks Charity Initiative

October 25, 2013 by Emilee Evans


Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. All opinions are my own.
KIND Snacks
I had a chance to review 3 different types of Kind Bars: Blueberry Vanilla & Cashew, Blueberry Pecan + Fiber, and Fruit & Nut Delight.
Although I had tried a KIND bar in the past that was given to me, I was definitely eager to try more varieties of KIND bars! I love that they are made with real ingredients and not anything that leaves you scratching your head wondering what exactly that is! All of the bars were full of flavor! In fact, the kids asked for some, too, and loved them as well! Because I felt good about the ingredients, I wasn’t worried about letting them have some! There wasn’t a type we didn’t like! Many of the KIND bars also pack quite a few benefits when it comes to vitamins as well, from which we can all benefit!
My personal favorite was the Blueberry Vanilla & Cashew, though! I just loved the taste combination! I found that the little bit of sweet also helped curb my craving for the not so healthy sweets, which is a huge advantage! I found the KIND bars made a great snack and pick-me-up. I eat every 2-3 hours to keep my metabolism going, and the KIND bars were the perfect quick snack in between the “regular” meals.
KIND Bars
But besides great tasting bars with healthy ingredients, do you know what else is great about KIND? Their name “KIND” is definitely fitting because they celebrate and inspire kindness! Their latest initiative is helping victims of Hurricane Sandy. Many know that Hurricane Sandy was devastating. It destroyed thousands of homes and changed millions of lives. What people may not know, though, is that many people are STILL being affected today.

Knowing this, KIND Healthy Snacks has teamed up with clean water organization, Waves for Water to gut and rebuild a NJ-based volunteer firefighter’s home, which had been completely destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. Through its ‘Do the KIND Thing Mission”, KIND was able to donate their time and $10,000 to the restoration.

Though $10,000 will help, KIND is looking to us, the community, to get more involved by sharing this video. It both highlights the work of Waves for Water and helps shed some light on the impact Hurricane Sandy is still having today. I know it was an eye-opener for me! Do you know what else? For every view, $1 will be donated toward this firefighter’s home! How amazing is that?

YumEarth Organics Fruit Snacks Review

August 13, 2013 by Emilee Evans

Disclosure: I received the products mentioned in order to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are 100% mine.
organic fruit snacks
Although our family isn’t “going back to school” I know many are, and it’s time to start thinking about a lot of choices that can be overwhelming – like snacks. More and more parents are looking for healthier snack options to send to school with their children as we become more aware of the dangers of harmful, synthetic ingredients. If you are packing their lunch with wholesome foods and snacks you will feel good knowing they have had a healthy lunch and snacks!
YumEarth was born out of commitment to offer healthy foods free of harmful ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, artificial dyes and other artificial ingredients. YumEarth is the number one organic candy company in the US. They really are a company that cares about health and our environment. Their ingredients are grown on sustainable family farms! YumEarth also has no gluten, peanuts, or tree-nuts! I had the pleasure of reviewing their organic gummy bears in the past.
Now, just in time for back to school YumEarth has introduce their new organic fruit snacks! Of course they are made with organic fruit juice and other planet friendly ingredients. They are 100% vegan with NO artificial colors or flavors, no high fructose corn syrup and no dairy, nuts or gluten!
organic fruit snacks
We received 2 bags of YumEarth organic fruit snacks for our review and as regular YumEarth consumers we were more than excited to try the new fruit snacks! We were definitely NOT disappointed. Fruit snacks have been one of the hardest things for our family to “let go,” but it is really hard to find any with wholesome ingredients! Most are filled with food dyes, which are an absolute “NO NO” in this house! You can imagine how thrilled we were to thrilled to discover YumEarth not only offers fruit snacks with no artificial colors but also the other great ingredients as well!
So how is the taste? Fantastic! In fact, we like them so much I had to remind the kids we can’t eat them all at once! They have a great taste and fun fruit shapes! The consistency is appealing in that they are not hard to chew or too “gummy.” I really like that! Not to mention the colorful illustration on the bags makes it even more appealing to kids! Our kids were most attracted to the fun fruit shapes, though! They had a great time naming the fruits and showing them to each other!
As always, YumEarth delivered, and now is a great time to stock up on these organic fruit snacks to be sure you are ready for the school year with snacks you know you can feel good about sending to school with your kids!

YumEarth Organic Gummy Bears Review

January 30, 2013 by Emilee Evans

 photo GummyBears_zps57901fbe.jpeg
Valentine’s Day will be here soon, which means our kids will be surrounded and tempted by sweets and treats! We probably will be, too! So, why not offer a healthier alternative like YumEarth Organics? YumEarth offers candy that contain healthy ingredients and taste good. YumEarth was born out of their commitment to feed families a diet rich in delicious healthful foods free of high fructose corn syrup and artificial dyes. YumEarth tastes better because they choose real fruit extracts and planet friendly ingredients grown on sustainable family farms. YumEarth is also gluten-free and nut-free.

My review:

For my review I received a bag of YumEarth Organic Gummy Bears. Boy were the kids excited! We don’t often have colorful treats due to the food dyes, so I am really glad we found a healthier alternative! They are really glad, too! I couldn’t it out of the bag soon enough! We happened to receive the package when it was snack time! I never thought I’d give them Gummy Bears for snack time! After reading the ingredients and already knowing what I’ve learned about YumEarth, I felt good giving them such a treat for snack time! I had some myself, of course! In the large bag there are 10 smaller, individual bags with the perfect serving size. They’re great for on-the-go as well!
I think they’re not only a great alternative to gummy sweets but also to fruit snacks that contain food dyes! They are definitely a great alternative to the sugary sweets that are all over for Valentine’s Day! They taste great, and we all enjoyed them. I love that they also have 100% Daily Vitamin C! It’s that time of year where germs are everywhere, and Vitamin C helps boost your immunity! So if you’re looking for sweets for your little sweets I definitely recommend checking out all YumEarth Organics has to offer!
