Our founder, Susan, has always been an advocate for healthy eating. Food choices start at a young age, so Fruit Bliss has dedicated its efforts to supporting organizations that help spread the knowledge of healthier eating options to kids.

Fruit Bliss is excited to partner with The Happy Org™ and its founder, Haile Thomas, for the New York Sugar Shockers Tour which goes to classrooms and empowers students to become conscious eaters.
