Baby is growing up. Five years ago, we launched HAPPYBABY to give babies and toddlers the healthiest head start in life. Now that those little ones have grown up, it's only natural that we've expanded our product line to offer two super nutritious snacks for tots, teens and the entire family.
HAPPYMORNING™ and HAPPYSQUEEZE™ take functional foods to the next level by providing a portable, convenient high-protein smoothie, whether it's eaten as breakfast on-the-go, as a midday snack or the perfect pick-me-up after a workout.
We've gone outside the traditional fruit basket to offer nutrient rich flavors that appeal to an older palate like pomegranate, yumberry, mangosteen and cinnamon, plus Salba®, nature's most nutritious whole grain. Best of all, HAPPYMORNING™ and HAPPYSQUEEZE™  pack 6 grams of protein and unique healthy ingredients into flavorful smoothies at ~100 calories!

Some of your favorite fruits - apples, oranges, and peaches – get an exotic pairing in our new HAPPYSQUEEZE™ super smoothies and HAPPYMORNING™ breakfast. We've added "superfruits" like mangosteen, pomegranate, and yumberry, boosting the nutrition and the flavor.
 Mangosteen is a South-Asian fruit, rich with xanthones - powerful antioxidants that boost the immune system and prevent disease. Xanthones are also naturally anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory. Pomegranate, perhaps the most familiar of this crop of superfruits, is sweet and tangy and loaded with polyphenols - antioxidants that may prevent heart disease and certain cancers. Yumberry, as the name suggests, is a delicious sweet-tart subtropical fruit, also packed with antioxidants for supporting health and preventing disease.
 Fresh mangosteen and yumberry aren't likely to be found in the produce section of your local grocery store. Asian markets, however, may carry fresh mangosteen, mostly imported from Thailand. You can cut into a fresh mangosteen and pull out the white fruit segments which are sweet and delicious. Then squeeze the juice from the peel – this is actually where most of the antioxidants are found. The mangosteen peel juice is very tart, though, so mix with another fruit like organic orange, pumpkin or banana for a tasty treat . Yumberries are harder to find in North America – they are grown in East Asia and difficult to transport due to their fragility. Instead, you may find yumberry juice - the sweet and tangy juice is now a popular item at juice and smoothie bars.

 If you have adopted a child from another country or have a foster child, chances are they have moderate to severe nutritional deficiencies that can stunt their cognitive and physical abilities. The SPOON Foundation, working with leading pediatricians and nutritionists, is among the first groups to identify the micronutrients that these children lack. Founded by two moms whose children came from orphanages in Kazakhstan, SPOON offers support groups, disseminates current research and practical guidance.
The Adoption Nutrition Site is a joint effort by SPOON and the Joint Council International Children's Services. You can learn about preparing for adoption, the first year home, nutrition by country, get an Adoption Nutrition Guide (available in print or online), recipes, and much more. Receive a free cookbook when you sign up for their monthly newsletter.
