A busy mother of three who was frustrated with trying to find healthy, organic snacks for her kids, Veronica Bosgraaf decided to make one herself, the Pure Bar. Now nationally available and widely beloved, the bar kick started a nutrition overhaul in Veronica's home. Clean foods and a new, simple way of cooking and eating replaced anything overly processed and loaded with sugar.
