I started my first business, Bee Organic Juices & Smoothies in 2000 in my hometown, East Hampton, NY. After a successful season, I put the business aside to spend my time tending to our family while cooking and baking health oriented foods for private clients.  Meanwhile, my husband, Owen and two children, Xavier & Stella reaped the benefits of healthy meals, endless snacks on hand and full lunch bags for school and work! In addition, Maximus, our amazing Bernese Mountain dog, happily licks our plates clean from all our organic leftovers :)

Over the years, through countless food, health and lifestyle interactions with people along my path, I am certain that life is about balance and moderation. One should approach food with an open perspective and enjoy every bite of the culinary experience.After experiencing a massive brain hemorrhage, called a cavernous malformation in 2013, I know a healthy eating regimen is essential for recovery and that food truly is healing. However, you only live once, so as my Sicilian grandmother would say, 'mangia mangia!' Enjoy what you eat. Some days you may indulge and some days you may tread lightly; the important thing is to a balance and eat with positive intentions without guilt. If you go overboard, get back on track and realign yourself. Every day is a new day to begin again! Keep in mind, every cell in your body is made from the foods you eat, so use discretion and choose wisely because you are what you eat!

It is important to acknowledge that everything you eat and drink contributes to your body's strength and overall well-being. In today's free market, with an overwhelming abundance of processed foods, that can be a challenge. One day, I was exercising on a LifeFitness bike at Railroad Fitness Gym and really connected to what that meant; which led to a monumental realization for the new name of my company ,FOODfitness which encompasses 'exercise-fitness' AND 'food-fitness.' You must have both to be truly FIT.

That's why I decided to offer FOODfitness Granola Clusters to the public. Every ingredient is organic, vegan and gluten free. Every batch is made by me with the best intentions for those who eat it. Each flavor offers a variety of nutrients in every tasty bite! They are a guiltless snack that truly feels indulgent. 

So start now, 'make FOOD your FITNESS' and add FOODfitness Granola Clusters to your healthy snack regimen!​GET FIT, STAY FIT -> EAT MORE GRANOLA! :) :)

Health & happiness,
Renée
