What’s the one thing that most health conscious moms are in dire need of, but can’t seem to find enough of? I’ll give you a hint: It’s delicious, healthy, nutritious snacks that their kids will love to eat.
This is what two moms came together to do by starting a healthy, nutritious and tasty kids’ snack company called My SuperFoods Company.
The aim of the company is to produce healthy great snacks that the children can take on the go without worrying about excess sugar consumption, damage to their teeth and even diabetes –a goal that they are now consistently and comfortably meeting.
As at 2012, about 18 percent of all American children were diagnosed as obese. That’s 7 percent more compared to the 1980s. One of the major causes of diabetes in children is their diets.
For parents who are particular about their children’s health, it does appear that the smart thing to do would be to find ways to cut down on their excess sugar intake, by replacing them with equally tasty, but extremely healthy options.
This is what the My SuperFoods Company is doing with their range of cookies, bars and granola bites.
Founded by Katie Jesionowski and Silvia Gianni, the company which was started in 2010, has grown tremendously, filling the need for healthy kids snacks in the market, and with their products now carried by over 1,500 stores nationwide.
These snacks are for families that are consistently on the go and don’t want to sacrifice their children’s nutrition. In this quick review, we’ll take a brief look at their six healthy organic, gluten-free, non-GMO snacks.
There are two major snack categories:
- MySuperSnack
- MySuperCookies
My SuperFoods Company
There are three different products under this category:
- Apple Raisin Soft Granola Bites
- Blueberry Banana Acai Soft Granola Bites
- Chocolate Chip Soft Granola Bites
As you can probably tell, all three contain four different flavored granola bars in each pack. The Apple Raisin Soft Granola Bites is a soft oatmeal raisin cookies containing distinctive ingredients like omega-3 rich flaxseed, real apples, oatmeal, amaranth, and brown rice syrup.
They taste so delicious you’ll find it difficult to believe there’s no refined sugar added. Your kids will enjoy this whole grain delicious snack and beg you for more, guaranteed. You can get more information on the Apple Raisin Soft Granola Bite snack from the website.
Next is the Blueberry Banana Acai Soft Granola Bites. Made from a mixture of blueberry, banana, acai, oats, flax seed and amaranth, this is a favorite among parents and their kids.
This fiber rich snack has four pieces in the BPA-free, resealable pack it comes in, and has no sugar additives. This is also 100 percent gluten free and an excellent snack for your kids. They will love it as will you too.
The third snack in the MySuperSnack category is the Chocolate Chip Soft Granola Bites. This is for the chocolate loving kid and parent. It’s completely gluten free, contains unsweetened chocolate, oat, amaranth, flax seed, cocoa butter, and date paste, just like the others. Your children are going to want to savor this one and take them in very small bits.
It is made from 100 percent all natural, and organic ingredients. So, you never have to worry about your children ingesting things they shouldn’t. Some parents tend to buy all three and mix them up for variety.
So, the kids can get two of their favorite bars in one BPA-free resealable pouch as well as one bar each from the other bags. For instance, you could have two chocolate chips bars, one blueberry banana acai and one apple raisin in one pouch. This provides the children with the best of all “worlds”.

These are organic, 100% nut free, highly nutritious and vegan cookies that your kids can thoroughly enjoy during the course of the day. There are three snacks in this group too:
- Honey Heroes
- Blueberry Vanilla Heroes
- Chocolate Heroes
All these cookies are made from 100 percent whole grain, and packed with enough nutrition to serve their needs.
The Honey Heroes cookies are shaped like SuperKids, and contain acerola and baobab which are considered as super fruits, organic whole wheat flour, organic honey and cane sugar, coconut oil and so much more.
This is an excellent snack for kids who aren’t allergic to gluten (contains some wheat, just so you know).
The Blueberry Vanilla Heroes are made from a mixture of blueberry and vanilla mixed with other ingredients to provide a very tasty cookie that the children are guaranteed to really like. This also contains pretty much the same ingredients as the Honey Heroes.
This also contains chia and quinoa, some excellent sources of fiber as well as antioxidants. Your kids will enjoy a healthier body and sharper mind courtesy of the antioxidative properties of fruits like blueberry.
The Chocolate Heroes are made from the other base ingredients with a different flavor –the chocolate added to the mix. Kids love this stuff a lot because it contains chocolates.
Please note that this particular one is probably not for kids allergic to nuts and those with gluten allergies, as it contains both. So, if your kids and you are allergic, please stay away from these one as it might cause potential harm to your health.
With these six different bars and cookies, busy parents can now have a more active say in their children’s diet as well as have peace of mind that their kids aren’t swallowing mounds of sugar filled junk foods while they’re in school or away from the house.
Just put them in their school bags or lunchbox. With this in their bags, you know they’re getting 17 vitamins and minerals, 980mg of omega-3 per bar, as well as vitamins A and C.
The good news is these bars and cookies are most likely available at any store near you or online on Amazon and other online stores. If you need help locating a store close by, carrying the snacks, their store locator should help you do just that.
