The Best Granola In Florida: Nutty Girl By Molly
Did you know that you can enjoy a tasty, healthy treat while giving back to girls in communities all over the world? In this episode of Live2Give, I’m going to introduce you to Nutty Girl, a local Florida company that creates delicious gluten-free, soy-free, vegan granola and bars. We’ll chat with owner and founder Molly Moore to learn all about how she started this company as well as her mission to give back.
Nutty Girl By Molly
I have to be honest; granola has always made me gag. Eating it made me feel like something was stuck in my throat. When a friend sent me some granola from Nutty Girl, though, everything changed. This ‘Girlnola’ is moist, sweet, and absolutely delicious. When I found out that the owner and founder, Molly, gives back, I knew I had to share her story with you.
Molly Moore made a huge leap into entrepreneurship with her company. She was a restaurant manager at the time of Nutty Girl’s founding, which developed out of a non-stop yearning and entrepreneurial spirit to start something of her own. While living in a refurbished garage, Molly bought a food processor and made some raw, nutty energy bites. Everything started evolving from there, and she started making everything out of nuts. Molly, self-described as a little nutty herself with a love of the color pink, came up with Nutty Girl one day as she was thinking in her car. Thus the company was born.

Healthy Foods With Flavor
Molly’s product line includes delicious ‘Girlnola,’ made of natural and healthy ingredients including gluten-free oats, pecans, apple-juice infused cranberries, and pure maple syrup. More products are coming soon, including a line of granola bars that are currently waiting for brand new packaging. The bars are available in both Chocolate Chip and Apple-Juice Infused Cranberry flavors, both of which are delicious. Molly is planning granola bread and four crazy nut butter flavors to add to her product line.
While I always thought you just ate granola dry or with some milk, there's a whole host of ways to eat granola that Molly shared with me. One of the first ways you can enjoy it is by making a parfait with yogurt, raspberries, blueberries, and of course: nutty granola. Another way to do it is to use it instead of croutons on your salad. You could also spread some almond butter on top of apples, bananas, or even roasted sweet potatoes with a little dash of honey and sprinkle it with Molly’s granola. Trust me: it's to die for! There are so many ways to enjoy this product. I encourage you to explore and find which one is your favorite.

Giving Back To The Girls
Molly not only has the best granola on the market, but she also gives back. When Nutty Girl was created, she thought that there was no better time than now to start helping girls. After researching many organizations, Molly found a New York City-based nonprofit called She's The First.
She's The First help girls in 11 different countries get educated by providing transportation, school supplies, mentorship, and friendship. While Nutty Girl contributes financially on a small scale right now, Molly’s goal is to be able to say on the back of the package one day: this is how much you're making an impact with this organization. Molly also likes to help girls in the community through mentorship and friendship, encouraging them and helping with their self-esteem to get back into school.

Are you thinking about selling your house but don't know what route to use to sell it? Is it even worth using a realtor or can you sell it on your own? We’re about to find out! Hi, I'm Sherri Mills with Michael Saunders & Co. and today, I’m going to walk you through the process of selling a home so that you can decide if hiring a real estate agent is right for you. HAT 1- An Educator As a former educator, I am just the person to help you understand market conditions, how your home compares to others on the market and keep you informed through every step of the selling process. Hat 2- Home Designer Once we come up with a plan of action that fits your specific situation, I’ll get to work. First, we need to begin preparing the property for the market so we need to become your home designer. Next, I’ll help you determine what in your home needs to be addressed and what doesn’t and I’ll be there to schedule any vendors we may need to bring in to ensure your home is ready to show in its best light. Getting top dollar only happens if we do this step right! Hat 3- Marketing Guru Eventually you’ll get your property ready to list and then we become your marketing guru. Selling a house takes a lot more than just putting a sign in the yard and listing it on the MLS, you need to position and market it correctly. You can find me shouting from the rooftops to let everyone know that your property is for sale. Hat 4- Ambassador And it’s during the time that your house is being actively marketed, I become your ambassador. It’s not only my job to sell your house, but I need to make people fall in love with it. This includes finding information about the schools, shopping, and even commute times. Hat 5- Negotiator And once we do get an offer on your property, I become your negotiator. This is where the magic happens. You see you don't want some push over type of agent, you want someone who is going to fight for every penny. But, it doesn’t have to be like WWIII during this period! I use my soft skills too to get you exactly what you want! Hat 6- Therapist Once we are under contract, I’ll become your therapist... because you’re going to need it. Especially if you are buying and selling at the same time or doing so long distance. My job is to worry about the details so you don’t have to. Hat 7- Firefighter Things will happen and when they do it’s my job to put that fire out… so we can get you the house you deserve! Hat 8- Closer My last job is that of The Closer! I coordinate all the professionals such as the appraiser, inspector, closing agent, buying agent, etc. to make sure we get you to closing day! Not to mention, mounds of paperwork! Selling real estate doesn't have to be stressful but selling your home is a big deal and shouldnt be taken lightly. You want to make sure that who you hire to sell your home can wear these hats seamlessly.
