Top-3 Reasons Why JAMBAR is Best for School Lunches
-
Nutritious (which parents & caregivers love!)
Each JAMBAR has 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and no processed or manufactured sugars. Unlike other highly processed energy bars, JAMBARs are made entirely from real-food ingredients like ancient grains, Guittard chocolate, berries, fruit, and nut butters. Every JAMBAR contains plant-based sunflower and/or milk protein, along with real maple syrup, honey and/or juices as sweeteners.

Delicious (which kids love!)
Chocolate Cha Cha is irresistibly tasty and a safe and popular choice for nut-free schools. We also have 3 plant-based options including Musical Mango, Jammin’ Jazzleberry and Tropical Trio! We receive lots of feedback from kids of all ages that they like the great taste of our bars. All five JAMBAR flavors are certified organic, non-GMO and gluten-free.

Backpack Proof!
No melting or crumbling on our watch! Yes - JAMBARs don’t melt or break, making them perfect for lasting throughout the school day in your backpack!
For this month’s blog we reached out to pro runner and JAMBAR athlete Athlete Neely Gracey. Neely is a marathon Olympic Trials qualifier and busy mom of two boys. She says JAMBARs are the perfect addition to her kids’ lunches. "As a pro athlete and coach, I am conscious about my fueling choices. As a mom, I am focused on ensuring my kids are doing the same but make sure the snacks tickle the toddler taste buds too. JAMBAR makes it easy since they use organic real food ingredients that are high quality and delicious. Also, the bars don’t melt or crumble and provide lasting energy for our busy days!,” Neely shared.
As you get ready for another school year be sure to stock up your pantry with JAMBARs. They’re the perfect addition to any lunchbox or backpack ensuring your kids have the energy they need to power through the day. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and delicious Back to School season!
