Macaroni Kid Worcester Review - Don't Go Nuts

By Noelle Monaghan - Worcester Macaroni Kid Publisher October 10, 2018

My son had his first school dance recently.  Ahhhh!  Aside the fact that I was trying to grasp the reality that he is growing up too soon, I volunteered to send in some nut-free, healthy snacks for the tweens that were expected to attend the event.  If you haven't heard about the whole grain snack bars from Don't Go Nuts, they are a new brand that makes nut-free, organic, gluten-free, delicious snack bars.  As soon as the snack bars were set up on the table, they were quickly disappearing before our eyes.  We also set up a table at the Lavender Days Festival for the almost 300 families in attendance, and shared even more snack bars with the families there.  Such great reviews from parents and children alike!

Grab and go snacks are not always healthy and delicious.  We found that the Don't Go Nuts snack bars are super convenient and come in three great flavors.  We had a chance to check out the Gorilla Power, Whitewater Chomp and Blueberry Blast flavors.  So good!  

The snack bars are individually wrapped and are GMO free.  Lily Pinto is 14 years old and is the inspiration for this company, with the help of her entrepreneurial family!  They built their own dedicated facility with several security features, including the cleaning room, where ingredient packages are vacuumed and cleaned before ingredients enter production areas.  How cool is that?

We decided to take these snack bars to the next level at my house...  We decided to use them in our morning routine for breakfast.  I crumbled a Blueberry  Blast bar on greek yogurt and the kids were both very happy with it.  A nice morning win!
