The Atkins Diet surged in popularity back in 2003, and while the buzz has quieted down a bit since, the trend of eating low-carb diets continues to this day. The Atkins name is making a comeback in 2016 with the recently launch of a line of snack and drink products known as Lift Protein Bars and Lift Protein Drinks.
“It’s one of the fastest growing protein recovery foods on the market, kind of like a Quest bar,” stated brand rep Ryan Aynz. “However, it has no chemicals, bad proteins, it’s gluten free and full of healthy alternatives.”
Locals will be able to taste test both the snacks and the drinks at the upcoming Healthy Bites festival on Friday, July 29th from 6pm to 9pm at the Columbus Museum of Art. Aynz said that the products have already been well received since launching back in the spring.
“Columbus is one of our largest markets sales wise and so we want to continue to give back to the community there and felt like being present at Healthy Bites made the most sense,” he added.
Healthy Bites will take place from 6pm-9pm at the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. Advance tickets are $30 and will include food samples, live entertainment, participatory yoga demos by Art of Yoga, admission to the current exhibits at The Columbus Museum of Art and a cash bar.
Featured food vendors include Fusian, Root 23, Pocket Produce, Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet, CoffeeFit Bar, Banana Leaf, Krazy Kraut, Zest Juice Co., Food for Good Thought, Snowville Creamery, Darista Dips, Native Cold Press, Acre, Alchemy Juice Bar + Cafe, Fronana and Lift Energy bars and drinks. We’ve also brought on board Cadence Kitchen, who will be providing on site food demos of quick and healthy meals.
A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to The Godman Guild. The Columbus Underground Best Bites event series have collectively raised over $16,000 for local charities since August 2014, with a goal of raising $20,000 for local charities in 2016.
