KIND Quotes

Here at the KIND office we have a plethora of quotes painted on the walls. They range from simply funny to genuinely thought provoking. Of all of these quotes there are three in particular that resonate with me. I would like to share these three quotes with you. Promise me that you will mull them over as you navigate through your Monday routine (or any day that you read this). Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts and how they may have affected you if at all. Either way, I hope you like them as much as I do.

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.” – Oscar Wilde

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank

Food Nuts Welcome

To put it simply, I’m a food nut. I love stumbling across new foods and flavors, and imagining how we could adopt them into the KIND family. My passion has blended into my role here at KIND, where we’re always on the lookout for new and exciting inspirations to bring into the KIND kitchen. If it’s tasty and healthy (and not already wrapped under our KIND logo), we’ll give it a try!

In this blog, we want to keep you, our extended KIND family, on the cutting-edge of the healthy snacking market place. As such, we’ll be covering topics such as interesting new food trends, important food-related health studies, eco-friendly packaging innovations, and much more!

As we continue to put our heads together and come up with great-tasting and healthy snacks here at KIND, we’ll make sure to keep you in the loop!

Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski Eats 2 KIND a Day!

Start your day the Mika way with not just one KIND bar – but two! The Morning Joe star begins every morning with an extra-hot Starbucks and a breakfast of two KIND bars (her favorite is Almond & Coconut).

In a recent interview with New York Magazine’s Grub Street, Mika raved about her love for KIND, which is keeping her slim and energized throughout her hectic work day. In her own words:

“Kind bars are so good, and I have two instead of one…I’m slim right now and burning a lot of calories because I’m so busy, and the bars give me the calories and the punch that I need to keep to keep going, not just for the morning but for a few hours.”

She must have gotten the memo that two KIND bars a day, keeps the pounds away. Did you?

A Note from a KINDAHOLIC….

As the KIND Customer Experience Manager, I have the privilege of hearing testimonials from our many adoring fans, aka KINDAHOLICS, every day. While it’s difficult to choose a favorite, I thought I would share one such email which really stood out:

My wife works at Brookshire Bros. Grocery store in Wimberley, TX. They just started carrying the Kind Bars. Oh my goodness I love them! I am so hooked and I’ve started introducing them to my friends at work. The bars are sooo delicious, healthy, and they give me so much energy! Keep up the good work and keep them coming!!! I’m anxious to try your other products as well!

Thank you for putting out a delicious and affordable and healthy product! Please don’t change a thing!

Manny

Thanks for your KIND words, Manny!

Lollapalooza Gets KINDED!

The KIND team was out in abundance at this year’s Lollapalooza festival. For those of you that don’t know, Lollapalooza is a three day music festival that brings more than 130 musical acts and over 200,000 people to Chicago. Musical acts included Lady Gaga, Green Day, Soundgarden, Phoenix, Arcade Fire, Devo and more. This year Lollapalooza introduced a gourmet food court dubbed “chow town” where the food options matched the musical line-up with headliners such as Big Star, Graham Elliot and Sunda. Festival goers could chow down on gourmet fare from some of the city’s best restaurants while enjoying music, art and their surroundings. KIND fit right in with the gourmet food options as a welcome healthy snack and many festivalgoers were lucky enough to taste the newest additions to the KIND family – new flavors and KIND minis.
