Q: Is Nicole’s Nutty Goodness a raw food?
A: All varieties of Nutty Goodness are dehydrated at 105 degrees, keeping all the ingredients raw. However, some
varieties include ingredients that have been heated at higher temperatures before being added to the Nutty Goodness.
For example, Whey Good includes the addition of whey protein isolate which is pasteurized in the purification process,
and Cherry Chocolate Chip contains a small amount of organic dark chocolate. So, you can be confident that we will
never heat the ingredients over 105 degrees making most varieties 100% raw, but the aforementioned, while primarily
raw, are not 100 percent.

Q: Why raw?
A: Raw foods provide your body with enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that can otherwise be destroyed by cooking.
These extra nutrients take stress off your body by providing their own digestive and healing assistance, rather than
causing your body to use its own store of enzymes for food breakdown and assimilation processes. In short, foods
closest to their natural state are often best able to nourish the body.

A: Per ounce, all varieties (except Whey Good) contain approximately 120 calories, 5 grams of fat, 1 milligram of

Q: Why whey protein instead of soy protein?
A: We use whey for various reasons. Whey protein is a nutritionally complete protein that contains high amounts
of all the essential amino acids. These amino acids repair body cells, build and repair muscles and bones, and play
a critical role in metabolism. Whey protein contains bioactive ingredients, like immunoglobulins and lactoferrin,
that help support the immune system. It has a rich abundance of branched chain amino acids and absorbs quickly,
making it a superior protein for athletes. Whey protein is also a soluble, very easy to digest protein, especially
the pure whey protein isolate. It quickly enters your cells to provide the important essential amino acids needed
to nourish muscles and other body tissues. Finally, whey protein does not contain isoflavones or any other components
with potential hormonal effects.

Q: How long will the Nutty Goodness stay fresh? Do I have to refrigerate it?
A: Your Nutty Goodness will stay fresh at room temperature for at least three months. Refrigeration is not necessary,
but will prolong freshness several more months, and freezing of course, even further. The fun thing about storing your
Nutty Goodness at different temperatures is that it’s almost like you have two different snacks. Leaving it at room
temperature really brings out its fruity flavors, while refrigerating or freezing gives it a great, crunchy texture.
You can also enhance your favorite breakfasts or desserts by sprinkling some Nutty Goodness on top of things like yogurt
or ice cream and those foods will in turn bring out further flavors and textures. It’s heavenly!

A: We wouldn’t want your allergies to keep you from enjoying this amazing snack. So depending on the size of
your order, we would love to make a batch specifically for you without the nuts or coconut or whatever it is you are
allergic to, as long as you know that it will be processed on equipment that has at one time been in contact with nuts.
Contact us and we will make arrangements for your special order.
