Healthy School Snack Wins GearAwards(TM)

Carlsbad, CA, September 02, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The new school year is just getting started and parents nationwide are looking for exciting and healthy snacks for the millions of lunches made every morning. Parents put a lot of thought into lunches, with only a couple of minutes between getting the kids dressed and burning the morning waffles, they have to create something fast, healthy and made with items the kids will actually eat. Lunch time isn't just a time for kids to refuel; it's a social time with peers and a little bit of home zipped up in their favorite lunch box.

Jungle Grub® Snack Bars were developed to meet the SB-19 school nutrition requirements limiting the fat, sugar calorie intake, but they still look and taste like a treat. The developer, Organic Nutrition, Inc., stepped aside and let the kids be the deciding factor on the taste. It was a winning strategy.

Both flavors are award-winning. The Peanut Butter Groove flavor won a "Great Gear" Award and the Berry Bamboozle flavor won the "Seal of Excellence" in ShapeYou.com's annual GearAwardsTM. "We are especially proud of these awards, because these are the first products launched by Organic Nutrition, and they won high marks after being evaluated by nutritionists, health care practitioners, health food store owners and trainers. It validates our strategy and drives us to continue the development of high quality and innovative products!" says company president, Steven Brandt.

Jungle Grub Snack Bars are only 100 calories, a good source of Calcium and Vitamin C and offer 4 grams of protein, twice what you find in an average granola bar. With 14 or less grams of total carbohydrates, Jungle Grub is a perfect snack for diabetics - young and old - who need to stay under 15 grams of carbs per serving.

Jungle Grub Snack Bars can be found nationwide in many independent health food stores and on Amazon.com.
