Rawtastic Find: Two Moms in the Raw!

So, we happened to swing by Starbucks this morning for a spot of tea and a piece of fruit (random impromptu pitstop). One of the great things about Starbucks and really any coffee shop (local or national) is that there’s always so much to look at. Naturally, we stay away from the pastries and baked goods and breakfast sandwiches, and you know all the reasons why! So imagine our surprise when nestled in between some trail-mix like snacks we found a live granola bar by Two Moms in the Raw! The word “RAW” stuck out the most, which is exactly why our eyes were drawn to it and we wanted to learn more.

“Could this be a yummy raw snack?” we thought, “and in Starbucks of all places?!?!” Too good to be true? We weren’t dreaming. In fact, we purchased and sampled the live granola bar today and we were totally impressed.

Here’s the low down on Two Moms in the Raw.

Meet Shari
Title: Owner/Founder of Two Moms in the Raw and mother of three children
Her Story: In 2004, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After exploring all options, I found a natural approach to healing worked best for me. Food in its natural state without all the additives and pesticides is what the body needs to heal and feel good. As I continue on my personal journey to wellness I feel better each day and I know my diet has a lot to do with it. While exploring the raw lifestyle, I couldn’t find a tasty, satisfying treat to have on the run. After lots of experiments in the kitchen with other moms, I came up with these delicious Granolas and fantastic Sea Crackers.  Pretty soon all of my friends and family were ordering more than I could afford to give away.  As a result, I decided to start charging….and here we are today. From these wonderful beginnings we have benefited greatly and look forward to the future and sharing our Raw and Organic treats with you…the ones that we have already available and the many more we have yet to come up with.

Shari’s take on Raw Food: We’re not running around the kitchen rolling in buckwheat, if that’s what you’re thinking. We are, however, choosing a lifestyle based on nourishing the body with what it needs to be healthy and active: the enzymes and nutrients found in raw foods.

We believe, based on significant investigation and proven research, food cooked to an internal temperature above 105 degrees loses most of its nutritional benefit. The body just doesn’t get what it needs for optimum well being and works harder to extract what it can from heavily processed or cooked foods.

Although we strive to maintain a 95% raw foods diet, this is not always realistic for all members of the household. We are moms with children who, at times, like to resist what is good for them. Raw foods don’t always have the most variety. Prepared raw foods take a lot of time and energy and aren’t always what you’re looking for. Two Moms found a way to bring extraordinary taste and texture to raw foods. Many of our customers have commented that “our foods are so tasty their families did not know how good it is for them.”

   I am pretty new to the raw food concept. I tried my first granola bar at Starbucks, Atlanta GA & loved it. Just 1/2 bar had the same satisfying and calming affect on me as a raw food meal, and it is absolutely delicious. Keep up a good work, Thank you.

   I too, needed a raw lunch while out running errands, and stopped at a Starbucks (I rarely go to SB) hoping to find a raw treat or at least a green smoothie. I found both. The 2momsraw blueberry bar was awesome! Half the bar stabilized my blood sugar and gave me the energy to finish the day. Tasted great- I was expecting raw food snacks to taste like cardboard. I had only started the raw lifestyle one week prior. I am going on week 3!

   Hi I wanted to thank you for your delicious products. I was recently diagnosed with Valley Fever and started a pretty stict diet of fresh vegetables and minimal fruits. I was always hungry and while I enjoy eating the vegetables, I still needed some healthy snacks which were all natural and free of sugars, carb, gluten etc. I came across your products at whole foods and decided to try them. they are delicious and I am very grateful to you for taking the initiative and putting forth the effort in providing such nutritious, delicious products. I cannot thank you enough.

   Hi there (big fan here of Two Mom’s in the Raw gluten free granola bars)

   I live in Spruce Grove Alberta in Canada and am from California (where the type of food I used to eat regularly came in abundance from everywhere.

   I visit Las Vegas a couple times a year (and frequent the Whole Foods Market) and always purchase 3-4 bags to take home with me.

   I recently went to Wisconsin to visit my mother for Christmas and went on a two hour drive to Whole foods, only to find that they discontinued your product in that specific store. I was greatly disappointed since I made the drive for two specific products (one of them being yours)!!!They offered me a different bag of granola for free, but it wasn’t even good and I had to toss it. The gesture was nice though.

   Anyway, I have sever IBS and have spent the last two years learning to cook the items I used to buy over the counter in Cali, but the one thing I aam missing is the best granola bars in the world (YOURS!!). In addition, I also have severe GERD (so bad that I have an inflamed esophagus and am on medication just so I can eat. No, I am not 100 years old (only 42 ………. but I suffer from osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disorder as well.

   I am trying so hard to eat more healthy and not put any toxins in my body – declining most medications the doctors try to throw at me.

   Now, I am sure you won’t share your recipe with me, but I am wondering if you can share with me some tips on how to make the granola – I have purchased all the ingredients on the list for your berry gluten bars (both of them – but am afraid to venture into the kitchen to make bars as I am sure they won’t live up to the spectacular bars you sell.

   Anyway, thank you for any tips you may be able to give me as I am so limited in my varieties of food – as of now, I eat mostly raw foods such as fruits and veggies, gluten free grains (not including oats), very few dairy products, only fish and some chicken for meats and lots of water. My diet has become so boring!!

   I have to say, I am learning some new recipes (like the sweet potato soup – with ginger, organic peanut butter and lime, with a touch of cream>

   Anyway, there is a tiny organic store in the teeny town I live in and I was telling them about you and praying they try to stock their shelves with your products!!! (HomeGrown Foods) We shall see

   Good day to you and I look forward to hearing from you.
