A Healthy Vision

   Most people value all natural foods and want more wholesome goodness in their lives.  To help meet this growing demand, Adele Gronner began 'Joy of Cookies' in northern California in 1982.  Her no preservative approach won many adherents and her business quickly grew to service the cities of the San Francisco bay area.

   In 1994,  Adele created the fruit & juice flavored ‘A Better Oatcake.’   A Better Oatcake was a revolutionary soy & oat based health bar—an attempt to craft a perfect food.  These handy meal replacements were high in protein, high in fiber, low in fat and made without wheat, dairy, oil or cholesterol.  Her ‘hockey pucks’ became the rage and were soon sold in over 1,000+ retail locations in the western United States, including such chains as Whole Foods.

   By  1999 Adele had incorporated, and A Better Oatcake was renamed California Suncakes.  Sales expanded to the eastern seaboard with the introduction of vacuum packing. In 2001 shelf life was further extended with the introduction of individual Suncake packages.  Now her customers could have the best of both worlds—fresh baked taste and shelf stable quality!

   Adele’s passion to create extraordinary food has remained vital. In 2002 she released the Heart Thrive vegan energy bar. Heart Thrive have fewer calories than her earlier products yet deliver up to a whopping 30% of your daily protein needs.  Metabolizing slowly*, Heart Thrives provide fuel for hours and are ideal for diabetics. They are also fortified with as much calcium as an 8 oz glass of milk and as their name implies, they’re also great for your heart!    

   The local medical community quickly embraced Heart-Thrives where they are recommended as smart nutrition at a growing number of health clinics, including ones at Kaiser, California Pacific, & Alta Bates, specializing in cancer, women’s health and diabetes respectively.
