Mama Knows Nutrition: The Podcast

I dunno about you, but no one gave me the parenting manual I DESPERATELY need. This podcast is for all the parents who want real answers to questions like, “why the F won’t my three-year-old eat dinner,” and “can they survive on goldfish crackers alone?” I also bring on guests to learn from and connect with on all the things we go through as parents, so none of us has to feel alone. I’m Kacie Barnes, Registered Dietitian, mom of two, and creator of the popular kids nutrition Instagram account, @mamaknowsnutrition. You can always count on me to keep it real, non-judgmental, and to never take myself too seriously!

62: How a new food product goes from dream to Whole Foods shelves [Ft. Ali Bonar]

October 03, 2022 • Kacie Barnes, MCN, RDN • Season 2

Have you ever wondered how new food products actually get into stores when they’re not made by a big corporation? Ali Bonar, CEO and co-founder of Oat Haus, talks about the hurdles she’s overcome to leave her previous career behind and start a food company. The Oat Haus flagship product, Granola Butter, is the world's first oat-based spread and was born out of Ali's eating disorder recovery.

Oat Haus is available at over 1,200 stores, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Harris Teeter, The Fresh Market & more. I personally am obsessed with the new Brownie Batter flavor! Granola Butter is nut-free so it’s a great sub for peanut butter at nut-free schools.
