Prescription for success: The no B.S. bar
One of our top selling protein bars is the RXBAR, a whole food, delicious energy munchie that lists the ingredients on the front of its packaging in big letters so no one is disappointed or surprised what’s actually in the bar. For example, the core of the chocolate and sea salt bar, consists of: 3…
Read MoreDon’t be a jerk, have a snack!
And that snack better be loaded with protein. If it’s not a protein shake—an industry that has become a $500 million behemoth—it’s a protein bar, or better yet something beefy and chewy such as grass-fed meat jerky or at least an all-natural meat and vegetable jerky. According to data from market research firm IRI, Jack…
Read MoreDiets—Do you have a favorite?
With all the diet or eating regimens out there, it was only a matter of time before serious foodies started proselytizing about which diet regimen works best for them. And that touting has come to bear on the restaurant community as well as health food and grocery store ordering and stocking in a big way.…
Read MoreWhat cauliflower can do for you

Read MoreGreen with envy!
One of the big things to come out of Victoria Boutenko’s book, Green Smoothie Revolution, was the way the 20-40 age group embraced the green drink in this decade with gusto, preferring to sip salads through a straw…even for breakfast! The “envy” comes from all those over 50-somethings who somehow missed out on this new…
Read MoreCholesterol—it’s a sticky issue
Almost everyone approaching 50 will hear from his doctor sooner or later that he has high cholesterol. And right after that announcement, the prescription pad will follow with the word “Lipitor” or “Zocor” or some such on it. It’s estimated that one in four Americans over the age of 45 are taking a group of…
Read MoreBaking with Pamela
GreenAcres cooks bake almost exclusively with Pamela’s Gluten Free Flour. It wasn’t always that way. We started out experimenting with other flours, and for a time, we’d try new recipes with conventional flours, only to have our customers ask, “Can you make that same cake, pie or pastry for us who are gluten free?” Pamela’s…
Read MoreSave the bees!
We’ll be hearing from Steve Weber, founder of High Plains Honey, tomorrow at Breakfast with Matt (GA-Bradley Fair) about the state of our vanishing bee population and what’s being done to “bring them back home.” Beekeepers have thought for a long time that chemicals sprayed on wheat fields just before harvest have had a deleterious…

School doesn’t start until a month from now for those attending Wichita’s USD 259, but it’s not too early to begin planning lunch meals the kids will love. In perusing GreenAcres Markets—especially the stores that have delis–and making a mental list of all the good things moms and dads could find to put into their…
Read MoreMe woman, you man…let’s Paleo together
The Paleo dietâitâs hard to pin down just exactly what it is. Matt, a GreenAcres owner and store manager in our Wichita store, follows the Paleo diet. He eats meat, veggies, nuts and fruit, and eschews cane sugar in all its forms and bread, to my knowledge. So whatâs good about a diet that leaves…
