For many of us, the days following Labor Day signal a return to the classroom. Whether you're a teacher, a student, or the parent of a child, Back to School means not just freshly-sharpened pencils, but packed lunches and snacks, too. 

At Sustainable Snacks we love February. Why? Because it’s National Heart Health Month. (Our only complaint is that it’s the shortest month of the year!) A healthier heart makes for a healthier you, and you deserve a long, healthy life. Among the seven ways to improve heart health, per the American Heart Association, are a healthier diet, an active lifestyle, and a reduction in blood sugar. We’re proud then, that Sustainable Snacks are easily integrated into better habits because all of the ingredients in our Sustainable Snacks are heart healthy. They’re not just tasty, they’re good for your ticker, too,...

Summer is here! We know your summer is off to a happy, healthy start, and we hope it continues. Traditionally, summers include festivities outdoors and centered around food. Block parties, potlucks, barbecues, picnics, and festivals are a great time to see friends, family, and neighbors. Studies show that face-to-face interaction with people we care about are good for our physical and mental health, with less stress and anxiety and improved immunity and cardiovascular health. It takes more than dark chocolate for a healthy heart!

Summer is almost here, though those of us at Sustainable Snacks have already taken to the outdoors of New York City, enjoying the warm weather as much as we can!
