According to a new survey from Crispy Green, kindness isn’t just cool—it’s the new self-care. As digital burnout and daily chaos wear us down, American moms are turning to something surprisingly simple (and powerful) to feel better: being kind. 💫

🍎 Crispy Green’s Mood & Kindness Check-In (600 moms nationwide) uncovered some feel-good truths:

✨ 65.4% say being kind majorly boosts their mood

✨ 90.2% are actively raising their kids to be kind

✨ Only 15.7% unplug from social—but kindness? That’s the real emotional reset.

“Moms are on a mission to raise a kinder generation,” the report shares. “They’re putting emotional wellness first—through authentic connections, not quick fixes.” 🙌

And guess what? Science is backing them up.

“Small acts of kindness spark oxytocin and serotonin—the brain’s feel-good chemicals,” says Dr. Nicole Avena, neuroscientist, health expert and author of the book Sugarless: A 7-Step Plan to Uncover Hidden Sugars, Curb Your Cravings, and Conquer Your Addiction. “It’s like giving your brain a mini-workout without going to the gym.”

👀 Even though 40.3% of moms report feeling content and at peace, nearly half are still riding the mood rollercoaster—feeling uneasy, skeptical, or downright frustrated. That’s why intentional, daily kindness is hitting differently right now.

Crispy Green’s got a crunchy little idea to help:

🌞 Join the #SunnySideofSnacking movement and commit to one kind act a day.

“Kindness is free, but the impact is priceless,” says Angela Liu, Founder and CEO of Crispy Green. “Even a simple gesture—like sharing a healthy snack, such as Crispy Fruit—with someone can be a powerful way to spread kindness and promote well-being for both the giver and the receiver.”

So go ahead—snack with purpose, sprinkle kindness like confetti, and tag your good vibes with #SunnySideofSnacking 💛
