When the Shaker Heights company PurUS Health LLC launched its Good Greens bars last year, they were filling a need in the market for a bar with a fairly small and recognizable ingredient list, one that was low in sugar and fat and reasonable in calories, plus high in antioxidants. It’s a bar that tastes pretty good, too.
The market responded. Three of the Good Greens flavors hold the No. 1, 2, and 3 rank in nutrition bar sales in the Cleveland metro area. Good Greens says its bars offer 100 percent of the daily fruit and vegetable requirement through its proprietary Z-52 superfood powder, which contains vitamins, dehydrated fruits and vegetables.
The bars — which are raw, vegan, gluten-free and low-glycemic acquired a fan in Dr. Roy Buchinsky, wellness director for University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center. He considers them healthy and likes how they taste, so he introduced them in the cafeterias at University Hospitals.
“Some of the components of the bars have been shown to have clinical benefits with regard to how the body functions,” Buchinsky says. “It’s something I can comfortably recommend to my family and my patients.”
