In May of 2002, sisters Debbie Reynolds and Gwen G. Solberg were enjoying a family outing with their children at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. After a few fun-filled hours in the museum, it was time for lunch. As usual, they had packed their own lunch because Gwen was born with a severe allergy to peanuts. She must stay away from processed foods and has spent her life reading nutrition labels.

While they all dined on homemade sandwiches, fruit and healthy snacks, the other families around them were eating lunch on the go out of vending machines and highly processed snack foods. It was one of those watershed moments when you realize the true necessity of something. After all, necessity is the "mother" of invention. Debbie and Gwen turned to each other and said, "Let's develop a line of healthy products for kids on the go." Thus, Healthy Handfuls® was conceived.

After two long years of planning, development, baking and determination, Healthy Handfuls®, a line of organic, low-sodium, low-fat, nutritious, great-tasting and convenient snacks was born.
