When you’ve got food sensitivities or follow a particular diet, finding snacks that are healthy, convenient, and delicious can be a challenge. While there are plenty of options on the snack bar market, a close look at the label often reveals allergens, highly processed or artificial ingredients, and loads of sugar. Fortunately, there is such a thing as a wholesome and nutritious snack bar that is allergy-safe, diet-friendly, and tasty. Read on to learn about a brand that’s making healthy, on-the-go snacks the right way.

The History of YES Bar

For YES Bar founder Abigail Wald, snacktime was a struggle. That’s because her son’s food sensitivities forced her to say “no” to many of the foods he wanted to eat. Since she couldn’t find the perfect snack, she decided to make it herself, gathering the ingredients he could eat and coming up with a tasty recipe. The result was a nutritious, kid-friendly treat made with wholesome, allergy-safe ingredients she could confidently say “yes” to.
