Kosher for Passover Items at Foodland

Shalom!

It’s always a fun time to build Passover food displays in the stores, as it is a great excuse to eat a can of Manischewitz coconut macaroons…they are the best!

Passover begins in the evening of Friday, April 6, and ends in the evening of Saturday, April 14 this year.

We feature an expanded selection of Kosher for Passover items at the following Foodland locations:

Think Think Bars

Here’s a little help with one of your New Year’s resolutions…Think Thin Bars.

I love these bars. 20 gram of protein and no sugar. They call them “portable nutrition" and I call them delicious. These are a great one to pack in your bag and filling enough to help tide you over to a meal.

Natural Holiday Snacking Guide

We have some exciting snacks in store for you this holiday season. I wanted to give you a quick rundown of what goodies you will find at Foodland, available now!

Stacy's Pita Chips, Simply Gingerbread

Seasonal Flavor Clif Bars are Here!

Can’t wait for the Thanksgiving Pumpkin pie?
Got a hankering for some Iced Ginger Bread?
How about working some pre-Christmas Candy Canes into your snacking routine?

The seasonal Clif bars are always a hit and this year they brought back the awesome spiced pumpkin pie. This one is so good that I asked them to make it year round as the flavor is a perfect combination of cinnamon and nutmeg with subtle pumpkin notes.

Gnu Flavor and Fiber Bars

We recently launched these at all the Foodland stores. What’s great about the Gnu Foods Flavor and Fiber bars is that you get almost half of your recommended daily fiber intake in one bar, they only have about 130 calories and they taste great.

Banana Walnut and the Orange Cranberry are the two top flavors. They are a baked bar and have a wonderfully fresh feel to them.

Easier-to-feed Organic Baby Food

Organic baby food is a category that continues to post strong year over year growth. Maybe it’s because Mom’s want what is best for their little ones. Maybe it is fears of GMOs. Maybe it’s because the baby food companies are making it so convenient!

We brought in the Plum Organic baby line and it has taken off like a rocket. The squeezy pouches are so easy to use. You simply unscrew the oversized cap (it’s so big ... more »

OnoPops - handmade in Hawaii!

I like to do the Master Cleanse a couple of times a year to help regulate my system and get rid of accumulated toxins. For those of you who have never done it, you basically don’t eat any food for 10 days and live on a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. It’s an amazing experience to go through and I always come out of it with an increased appreciation of food!

I was on day 5 of the cleanse when Josh and Joe from more »
