Today on Subscribing to Wellness we are joined by Happy Wolf Co-Founder and CEO, Jana Goodbaum. Happy Wolf is a snack brand that’s reimagining healthy snacks for kids. Jana's journey began when, as a health-conscious mom and former fast-food marketer for Tim Hortons, she noticed a lack of school-safe, whole-food snack options for her children. She took matters into her own hands and began crafting recipes in her own kitchen, leading to the creation of Happy Wolf: nut-free snack bars made with only whole ingredients you’d find at home, naturally sweetened with dates and honey. Happy Wolf recently launched nationwide in Whole Foods and you can also find the incredible bars in many more retailers. This is an episode you will not want to miss.

Today on Subscribing to Wellness we are joined by founder and CEO of Juice Generation, Eric Helms. 25 years ago, yes they are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, Eric started Juice Generation. The first store was a tiny store in a city that had never even heard of cold-pressed juice, and he was the only employee, but his mission was clear: to make healthy choices more accessible to New Yorkers. The company is still independently owned by Helms, and he is continuing to innovate while making wellness accessible. The brand recently launched Juiced Gelato, the first-ever cold-pressed gelato crafted from the brand’s signature juices, without added sugar or dairy. It took two years and a partnership with an Italian gelato maestro.

We talk to Lucy about going into business with family, the peanut butter category, the future for One Trick Pony and so much more.
