Renowned nutrition expert Mia Syn, M.S., R.D.N., highlights the balanced, organic whole food attributes of JAMBARs on CBS San Diego
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (Sept 29, 2024) – Mia Syn, a national on-air nutrition expert and one of the most recognized and trusted young dietitians in the country, featured JAMBAR as a “Healthy Back to School Snack” in the Aug. 23 airing on CBS San Diego. Syn has more TV appearances than any other young nutritionist in the country and has helped millions of viewers, readers and clients learn and implement healthier, sustainable eating habits.
"As a registered dietitian, I look for organic snacks like JAMBAR that are made with real food ingredients and offer a balance of protein and fiber to help keep kids from preschool through college satisfied and fueled between meals,” says Syn, M.S., R.D.N. “JAMBARs are delicious and don’t crumble or melt so they are perfect to toss in backpacks for lunch and snacks before or after sports. The Chocolate Cha Cha flavor is especially great for nut-free schools.”

JAMBAR founder, food scientist and mother of six Jenny Maxwell estimates she’s made about 28,000 school lunches over the last two decades. So when parents tuck her JAMBAR energy bars into their kids’ backpacks, she knows they’ll fuel the school day in the most delicious and nutritious way possible.
"Having a nutrition expert like Mia recognize JAMBARs as some of the healthiest and most delicious snacks out there for kids is quite an accolade," says Maxwell. "Her advocacy for evidence-based nutrition is impressive. As a food scientist myself, I truly appreciate Mia's stamp of approval."
JAMBAR stands out with a unique blend of real-food organic ingredients that provide a nutritious option without compromising on the taste buds. Each JAMBAR provides 10g of protein and 4g of fiber, with no added oils or processed sugars. Every JAMBAR contains plant-based sunflower and/or milk protein, along with real maple syrup, honey and/or juices as sweeteners. All of JAMBAR’s five flavors are certified organic, gluten-free and non-GMO. Unlike other energy bars that crumble or melt, JAMBAR is made to endure, ensuring that they remain intact and tasty whether tucked into a bento box, lunchbox or backpack pocket.
