School is back in session, and if your family is anything like mine, they want a snack the minute they get home!

Having nutritionally dense snacks on hand that are as visually appealing as they are delicious is key to my kids gravitating towards a healthier snack option.

Trail Mix Bites

I have spent years creating different energy bites for my family and this new Trail Mix Energy Bite is incredible!

Trail Mix Bites

These little bites are loaded with good-for-you ingredients including ground flaxseed, chia seeds and oats, which help keep your belly full all while providing a nutritional boost. 

The best part is that they can be stored in your fridge for up to three weeks.

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
