Yo Naturals - “Healthy Matters” school program is committed to increasing nutrition awareness and encouraging students to make healthy choices. In addition to healthy meals, snacking is important for children and adolescents to help them meet their energy and nutrient needs for growth and development. Studies indicate that snacks contribute over 30% of the daily energy intake of children. Eating the right types of snacks gives them the nutrients they need for good health and helps keep them energized to meet the demands of their busy lifestyles.

“Healthy Matters” by yo naturals is an exclusive healthy snacking initiative aimed at middle and high school students. “Healthy Matters” offers over 150 delicious healthy products that will meet the taste preferences of our student customers as well as the nutritional standards and SB 19 guidelines being introduced in school districts today. Students can enjoy natural and organic versions of low fat granola bars, cereal bars, baked chips and snacks, crackers, yogurt, water, 100% juice and smoothie beverages, iced tea, fresh fruits, nuts, fresh vegetables and vitamin supplements to name a few. Through YoZone vending machines, healthy snacks can be offered conveniently throughout the day.

The Healthy Matters program is a fresh approach to healthy lifestyle choices for our student customers. It is both an important component of healthy eating and a symbol of action representing students’ ability to take control of their health from an early age. Healthy snacking is one part of their active lifestyles and the “Healthy Matters” program helps them feel confident when evaluating their options.
