In the spring of 2005 my mom was diagnosed with cancer.  When our family moved home to care for her, I was put in charge of the meals.  This motivated me to research natural foods and their healing properties, to design a healthier way of eating for our family. 

Although I originally designed the oatmeal for mom, and my families' own use, the excitement that built through word of mouth encouraged me to take it further.  I spent the next four years analyzing each ingredient for its nutritional value, texture and taste. The berries were added at the end when I found I was still using a sweetener.

CHOO-IT has been described as a cereal/trail-mix hybrid. It is delicious hot or cold, on yogurt, or right out of the bag.

My mom loved cooking, health and the outdoors – she always believed in me and my passion for design.  I thank her for all the support she gave me.
