OM DETTA AVSNITT
When it comes to kids’ snacks, there are a ton of so-called healthy options. You know the ones: they have buzzwords like “organic,” “natural,” and “made with real fruit.” But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re good for our kids. Many are ultra-processed, high in sugar, and lacking in nutrition.
In this episode, I sat down with Diane and Laurel Orley, co-founders of Daily Crunch Snacks, a company that makes superfood-infused, sprouted nuts that are made without added sugars, preservatives, or additives, minimal to no oil, and are what they call Uniquely Crunchy.™
We talk about how Daily Crunch Snacks came to be, the benefits of sprouted nuts for your kids, plus some healthy and easy recipe ideas. Diane also shares a personal story and how Daily Crunch Snacks is turning a family tragedy into hope for others.
