Whether you’re heading to the ball game, packing your work bag, or keeping something handy in the car console—nuts and seeds are the ultimate grab-and-go snack! They’re shelf-stable, full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and keep you fueled longer than a quick stop at the drive-thru.

Swap the fast food for a handful of almonds, sunflower seeds, or mixed nuts—you’ll feel the difference in energy and satisfaction. 🙌

We are excited to introduce Kayla Sneeringer, a Virginia Tech Dietetic Intern, that will be joining us this Fall! She is currently a graduate student at Virginia Tech, on track to get her M.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics. A fun fact about her is that she has visited more countries than states! In her free time, she enjoys trying local coffee shops and restaurants, enjoying nature, and going to the Farmer’s market each week. She wants to become a dietitian to educate people about the importance of nutrition and their diet, but also to learn how to prevent chronic conditions through nutrition. She loves baking and cooking and finds herself baking most often in the Fall when the weather is getting cooler, and she has easy access to freshly picked apples.

If you see her out and about with us, give her a big Giles County welcome!

Think sweet-and-spicy meets hearty: roasted sweet potatoes and taco-seasoned beef over a bed of cottage cheese and avocado, all drizzled with hot honey. One bowl that brings serious flavor fireworks.
