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!

Product Review: Nocciolata https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-nocciolata-2/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-nocciolata-2/#respond Wed, 18 Mar 2015 17:19:02 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=9157 Parent Picked Kid Approved logo

Does your child have a sweet tooth? Do you find him or her constantly asking for chocolate or candy? Most likely, you are searching for a healthy alternative to fill your child’s dessert void. Look no further than Nocciolata—an organic hazelnut spread with cocoa and milk. This deliciously creamy treat is perfect on a crepe or a piece of toast topped with sliced bananas and strawberries, and can even be used as frosting for a cupcake! We promise Nocciolata is a treat that the whole family will enjoy! Festival-goers also enjoyed Nocciolata at the Kids Food Festival on February 28th + March 1st in Bryant Park.

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It’s smooth and chocolaty! I love the way it tastes AND I love that my mom lets me eat it!

From the Eyes of a Parent:   Nocciolata-supporting

I love Nocciolata because it is better for you than the average chocolate hazelnut spread and it tastes better, too! Nocciolata is also milder and thinner than the average chocolate hazelnut spread, plus it is organic!  My kids will eat anything when I spread Nocciolata on top! It serves as a great, versatile snack AND satisfies everyone’s sweet tooth.

The Icing on the Cake:    Nocciolata Jar

Nicciolata contains no artificial flavors or colors, hydrogenated fat, GMOs, or palm oil. It contains all-natural raw ingredients, is USDA certified organic, and is gluten free.

The spread is made in a special cooking process in which it is gently pressed for 60 hours.

It is made from the Rigoni family’s traditional, family recipe including ingredients such as:

  • Dark chocolate from the Antillean Islands
  • Italian Hazlenuts
  • Brown sugar
  • Skim milk
  • Bourbon vanilla extract

Time to Eat?!

Spread Nocciolata on toast, crepes, or your favorite fruit for breakfast or a mid-day snack. You can even eat Nocciolata with dessert as a frosting for your cupcakes or cakes.

Mix it Up!

Make a dessert pizza with the Nocciolata as the sauce and use apple slices and walnuts as the toppings.
