According to a new consumer study, Americans rank honey as their #1 preferred sweetener.
Cited were some of honey’s great attributes like being an immunity booster and antioxidant powerhouse. Kate’s Real Food, named the “Best Little Energy Bar in America” by Forbes, and included in the Forbes 2020 holiday gift guide must-have list, has only used organic honey to sweeten all of their products since day one.
Growing consumer demand for “good for you” organics and mounting research pointing to honey’s many health benefits, including natural immunity, is responsible for the surge in honey production and popularity. 
Lauren Panoff, Registered Dietitian and MPH said, “Honey is full of health-promoting antioxidants and may help fight inflammation, supporting natural immunity. As part of their whole-food recipes, Kate’s uses honey as the primary sweetening agent in place of lower-quality, highly processed, sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup, brown rice syrup, and cane sugar often used in similar products. Not only does honey have a long medicinal history, it also gives Kate’s bars a delightfully subtle sweetness.”
Honey is an all-natural, unprocessed, sustainable, and healthier alternative to other sweeteners. It is full of many vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants that may support a healthy immune system. Additionally, a recent Oxford study found that honey may be a better treatment for coughs and colds than over-the-counter medicines.
According to the global marketing research firm, Nielsen, honey sales are trending up sharply, as consumers realise that honey is both “good for you” and “good for the Planet.” In addition to the crucial role bees play in sustaining our Planet, the honey production process also has a lower impact on the environment than that of other resource-heavy commodities.
Kate’s makes seven delicious energy bars with real, premium, whole ingredients, and no artificial sweeteners. Each one is USDA-certified organic, gluten free, non-GMO, and always sweetened with organic honey.
Check out the newest addition to the Kate’s lineup: the Dark Chocolate Mint Bar, including cool peppermint extract, smooth dark chocolate, natural cacao powder, organic honey, creamy peanut butter, and certified gluten-free oats.

Kate’s Story
Before Kate Schade started her own energy bar company in 2010, she was enjoying the skier life in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Between days on the slopes and nights waiting tables, Kate was always on the move – and she needed healthy food that could keep her going. Her solution became the original Tram Bar: a pocket-sized energy bar made from the tastiest organic ingredients she could find.
Once Kate perfected her recipe, she started sharing her bars with friends in the mountain tram line. It didn’t take long before she established a loyal following; the Tram Bar was an instant favourite! After a few years of steady encouragement, Kate finally decided to take on her greatest adventure: selling her bars.
Today, the Tram Bar-along with five more amazing flavours-goes by the name Kate’s Real Food and continues to inspire people as they pursue a healthy lifestyle.
