FROM OUR LONG TIME LOYAL CONSUMERS:
"I'm an obesity researcher at a food policy institute, so I am especially inclined to pay compliments when I come across worthwhile food products. We live in a world of processed foods, and they are the staple of the American diet. So, when I see a healthy unprocessed snack or meal replacement (especially one made in an environmentally responsible way), it makes me happy." - C.D. New Haven, CT
"Outstanding Products. By eating the heart oat bars twice daily in my 'Body For Life' Fitness & Eating program, I have dropped 7 lbs. in 20 days. They are a perfect carb/protein balance as a meal, and a great energy booster to take on a bike ride." - C.S., Ellicot City, MD
"I am part of the Dean Ornish Heart Disease Reversal Program and will be passing along your products to other folks." - R.F. Billings, MT
"I am recently gluten-free and semi-veg. Wow, what a difference a little healthy change will do. What the heck have I been waiting for?" - T.F. (RN, BSN)
"Wonderful product. I had gastric bypass done and have been eating 2 chocolate chip hearts per day. They make up 2 of my 5 meals per day." - W.R., Sioux City, IA
"Where to begin? Your oat bars have become an indelible part of my morning breakfast, and a great travel aid. Since I began eating them, my HDL cholesterol (the 'good' kind) has risen. Now it's about half of my total cholesterol. Any cardiologist will tell you that a ratio of 1/2 is about the best they've seen. Top notch company." - K.Y (no city given)
"I have IBS. I eat 2 hearts every day. They're portable, which is good for people with blood sugar issues like me. I order them once a month, they come shockingly fast and I've never had a delivery problem." - E.S. Berkeley, CA
"I live off of Heart Thrives, literally. They are the staple of my diet. As a college student with IBS, it's hard for me to find food that's fast, nutritious, and won't make me sick. Plus they're perfectly portable!" - N.S. Redlands, CA
"Feeling satisfied after a good snack is one thing, but knowing how positively it has impacted your health is quite a bonus! Ever since I discovered Heart Thrives at a local coffee shop, they have become a staple in my diet. I am thrilled with this product and how it has contributed towards my goal of leading a healthy lifestyle." - D.D. Pittsburgh, PA
"Thrilled to find these in a cafe in Dorchester, MA. I have an eclectic list of food sensitivities, and these dodge every one! - A. Chamberlaine Jefferson City, MO
