Yippie Hippie GranolaTM is a delicious blend of toasted whole grains, raw and cooked nuts and seeds combined with natural sweeteners and flavors. The multi layered flavors, satisfy your taste buds without being too sweet. Eat it plain or with fresh or dried fruit as a cereal, straight from the bag as a snack, mixed with dried fruit and berries for a delicious trail mix or even sprinkle it over ice cream or yogurt.

 

The Zippie BarTM is for that little sweet something you want after your workout, breakfast on the go or to chase away the between meal snack blues. It combines Yippie Hippie GranolaTM, dried fruit and other natural flavoring ingredients with (non-GMO) rice and hemp protein. This makes for a small but power packed balanced bar full of flavor and satisfying to your hunger.

 

I developed Yippie Hippie Granola out of necessity.  In 2007, I was diagnosed with both hypoglycemia and Acid Reflux (GERD). Having two different restrictive diets that in many ways conflicted with each other, I had to change my way of thinking about eating. For breakfast, I needed a low carb, low sugar, low fat (not fried), high protein easy meal that I could eat within thirty minutes of waking. Cereal (with a dairy substitute) would be great if they were not so sweet and the ones that are not overly sweet tasted like cardboard. So, I started experimenting with different granola recipes. The finished cereal tasted so good, I gave it as Christmas gifts, in Mason jars, along with other baked goods. But it was the granola that everybody wanted more of. Now, Yippie Hippie Granola is packaged in lined paper bags with a tin-tie top to keep it fresh.

 

I have a friend who is a truck driver, he complained that while my granola was delicious he had great difficulty snacking on it and preferred bars.  That gave me the idea for an all-in-one bar. Why not combine a granola bar with a power/protein bar along with a date/nut bar and so the Zippie BarTM was born. I guess you could say it is a candy bar that is actually good for you.  A Hippie candy bar!

 

All of our products nutritionally balanced, healthy and tasty. We never add any chemical preservatives, coloring or artificial flavors.  We do add ingredients that are high in antioxidants, essential omega 3 fatty acids, good carbohydrates, natural fiber, and non-GMO plant proteins. We use all natural flavorings like Amaretto liqueur, lemon, vanilla and sweeteners like honey, agave, maple and fruit. This balanced blend of good carbs and plant proteins keeps a body satisfied longer than sugary sweet snacks and cereals.

 

Peace, love & Granola
