Hand-baked, locally made, gluten-free, veg-
an, organic, low glycemic treats. Got all that?
These healthy indulgences, made in Hobo-
ken by Idit Or, are inspired, in part, by Or's
childhood in Israel, where she frequented her
neighborhood's health food stores with her
mother. Her goal with A&I Nutreats was, and
continues to be, to create healthy foods that
are also sweet.
Or, an avid runner and cyclist, is motivated
by her young children, who already show
signs of controlling their sweets intake, and
her husband, who is less of a health nut, but
still makes an effort to eat well. "Even if you
aren't a health freak, you can still recognize
what's good for your body," she says.
Her bestsellers are date & almond bread,
heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies, and
pumpkin spice bread with cacao nibs. (The
Digest loved the almond maple cookies.) A&I
Nutreats are available to order online and
sold in select Hoboken stores.

Produced naturally in their own apiaries located in Jersey

propolis and pollen, which have health benefits.
