To begin with, it's cool looking. And because oats are good for your heart. Also no one else has a heart shaped bar. And because our original bar was called Heart Thrive. For the love of oats . . . from our heart to yours!

No, but fear not. Those product lines have simply become one. These two original bars which have been on the market for three decades have been rebranded to The Healthy Energy Bar. The recipe is the same. The size is now 2 ounces per package unit. The package design has also changed but you can still find (on the rebranded package) the flavor icon designs that were used to distinguish flavors on the California Suncakes packages. There are a total of eight favorite flavors to choose from.

We chose to line up with market prices in order to keep our doors open after 38 years of serving high quality health food. Being a value ‘meal’ for decades without hiking our prices for the ongoing hikes we were left with (wages, shipping, ingredients, etc) has kept us in the red for too long. This was a hard decision, but we are sure it was a good one. Had we not rebranded, our bars would no longer be in the marketplace. Thank you for your support.

Few foods elicit such instant health recognition as oats, the leading ingredient of these oat bars. A remarkable source of nutritional and caloric value, oats have been a health food staple for millennia. The FDA was the first to claim oats are good for your heart. From ours to yours.

On the go, or at a relaxed moment, The Healthy Energy Bar with their blend of oats, real fruit, and proteins provide hours of low glycemic, wholesome and balancing fuel for healthy bodies. No blood sugar spikes or low crashes. Oh yeah, and they taste great too! Genius! Perfect!

Hikers, bikers, travelers, students, nursing mothers, toddlers, and weekend warriors. From health conscious earthlings to health challenged individuals of all shapes and stripes. From techies, to corporate folk, and grandpa, too. Our healthy treats are loved by many. Please see the many testimonials we have collected.

First off our bars are not the type of energy that provide a quick powerful burst, but rather a healthy version of an energy bar with fuel that sustains and balances. Ours are all gluten free, nut free, and vegan, non-filler ingredients, great taste, heart-shaped, with health benefits to boot, and an honest nutrition label. Ours bars are not loaded with sugar, added oils, or trans fats. Two of our product lines have no soy or any flours of any kind. Our bars are unprocessed and have wholesome and organic ingredients you can pronounce. But the biggest difference is we do not out-source, nor do we have a distribution network where bulk warehousing is a necessity which may require a shelf-life that would also necessitate preservatives. We have preservative-free products. Being our own bakery, we are able to remain a small made-to-order mom-n-pop shop enabling us to manage an environment free of allergens that so many folks tend to steer away from.

The best. They will sustain you with balancing fuel for hours. Some folks even choose to eat them as a meal. Warning: don’t make plans to have lunch or dinner after consuming an oat bar!

Super fresh. Baked Yesterday. Packaged Today. Shipped Tomorrow. Please Freeze!!

NOTE: Most of the testimonials on our website refer to California Suncakes & Heart Thrive — which has been rebranded to The Healthy Energy Bar but is the same product inside the package.

Many diabetics and those with low blood sugar include our bars in their lifestyle diet choices since they are low glycemic ingredients. No blood sugar spikes. No low crashes. Simple wholesome goodness with sustaining and balancing fuel. Check out our ‘testimonial’ page to see what some diabetics have to say.

They are under the FDA limit of 20 parts-per/million, therefore we may label them as “gluten-free.” The organic oats we use are milled at a facility that also processes other grains, so minute amounts of gluten may be present. Gluten intolerant individuals have not reported any reactions when eating our products and iin fact it has been reported to us that even those with celiac disease can tolerate our oat bars. If you are cautious and try it for yourself you’ll see if it’s an acceptable choice for your body.

Our products are dairy free, and adding calcium in the form of natural calcium citrate to The Healthy Energy Bar gives folks who are vegan the extra calcium they need. In fact more than an eight-ounce glass of milk. Skip your breakfast milk and cereal for a calcium filled oat bar.

Mostly no. We are a nut free, wheat free, dairy free, gluten free, and a non-GMO facility. We do not share kitchen space with any other company which makes it easy for us to control possible contaminants in our environment. Regarding Soy: There is soy protein in The Healthy Energy Bar yet no soy in our other product lines. Regarding coconut: The FDA lists coconut as a "tree nut" but we don’t know of anyone who is allergic to coconut. Coconut is referred to as the “tree of life.” We think you’ll find a bar that suits your needs. They are all delicious, and not all with coconut. Regarding Sulphers: We do not use them. We use unsulfered fruit.

We are happy to report that many folks have made the switch from being a non-coconut lover to loving our Maxaroon coconut bar. It is a super densely packed cocoon of coconut, but with a great moist mouth feel. And the flavors are deliciously rich. One bite and you’ll delight. This bar is for coconut lovers and non-coconut lovers alike. Share just one bite with your friend, and watch the switch your friend makes. Be careful they don’t eat the rest of your bar!! Some have made the switch but only to consume OUR coconut bars. Dare to become a coco-NUT!

No, they are baked. . .with love!
