LOCAL Houston | The City Guide APRIL 2016

FOOD GREAT-TASTING NUTRITIOUS FOODS Green Plate Foods was started in 2010 by local mom Lisa Pounds who was passionate about great-tasting nutritious food. What started as a small, grassroots company catering events and offering its delicious snacks at various events, has grown into a natural-based company that manufactures and sells snacks made with the highest-quality ingredients. We love the CHERRY CHOCOLATE FRUIT BITES (pictured) made with dried tart cherries (tart cherries, apple juice concentrate, sunflower oil); dried cranberries (cranberries, apple juice concentrate, sunflower oil); fair-trade semi-sweet chocolate (unsweetened chocolate, organic sugar cane, cocoa butter, natural vanilla extract); unsweetened coconut, fried dates. GPF products can be found at Texas Children’s Hospital, Memorial Hermann – TMC, Whole Foods, HEB, Freshii and My Fit Foods locations. www.greenplatefoods.com By Carla Valencia de Martinéz Photography by @Pinkcilantro 16 L O C A L | april 16
