A filling and plant-based energy bar. The LivBar is the perfect “pick me up” snack, being that it is made with 100% organic products and has healthy fats, carbs, and protein in each bite. Enjoy an energy-filled, whole-made LivBar!

by Cricket Azima, 2023

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

This is my favorite snack to eat before soccer practice. It gives me all the energy I need, and I feel like a superhero out on the field!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

The LivBar is not only nutrient-dense for my kids, but personally, it is one of my favorite snacks. The convenience of the 100% baked bar is a plus, there is no need to worry about it melting in my purse. I stand by the burst of energy and delicious taste that comes in the LivBar.

 

The Icing on the Cake:

The LivBar is the best energy bar as it is USDA-certified organic, is allergen-free, and is
overwhelmingly nutritionally balanced. A game-changing energy bar as it is the most versatile
bar on the market.

 

Mix it Up!

Crunch it up. Grab some fresh berries, yogurt, and honey. Layer the ingredients and have the perfect yogurt parfait made with the blueberry, vanilla, kale LivBar. Making a satisfying snack even more satisfying, it’s a win-win situation!

Looking for a delicious and healthful grain to serve to your kids? Try sorghum! Here’s the breakdown: sorghum is an extremely versatile grain that can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. It can be cooked on the stove, rice cooker, or slow cooker. Similar to farro, it has a wonderful, slightly nutty taste, and can be a great substitute for traditional daily grains – it’s naturally gluten-free! Sorghum is also a great source of fiber, a tasty way to get natural energy, and helps you stay fuller for longer! Switch up your family’s favorite classic dishes by substituting sorghum for the traditionally used grain ingredient. It’s a nutrient-dense twist that the whole family is sure to enjoy!

 

The Creative Kitchen is excited to use sorghum in our Whole Foods Market Back to School Cooking Classes Learn more at www.thecreativekitchen.com/calendar

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Tastes like rice, YUM!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

My favorite thing about sorghum is how versatile it is to cook with! It can be served like rice or quinoa, but there are so many more options, such as popping it like popcorn, using it to make risotto or even pancakes, my kids’ favorite! My kids love the taste, which makes it super easy to feed them a food with so many health benefits in it. It’s a yummy, gluten-free carbohydrate with good sources of iron and zinc, and it’s also rich in B complex vitamins. It’s truly incredible how so much nutrition is inside of each teeny tiny grain!

 

The Icing on the Cake:

Sorghum is extremely nutritious, boasting benefits such as:

  • Protein: helps keep your bones, muscles, skin, and enzymes healthy
  • Iron: strengthens the immune system
  • Vitamin B6: enhances nerve function
  • Niacin: improves blood circulation
  • Magnesium: helps to regulate body temperature and calcium absorption
  • Phosphorus: which helps form healthy bones
  • Gluten-free

 

Time to Eat?!

Sorghum is awesome! It can be prepared in dishes that are eaten at any mealtime, from breakfast through dessert!
