GROWING UP...
I was very athletic and strived for a very lean body, and would go through extremes to get there, but my sweet tooth would always get the best of me. In my early twenties, I decided to compete in fitness competitions, so that I could have more control over my cravings, and finally have the lean body I dreamed of. It was a time of struggling to be strict with my diet, over-training to compensate for having any snacks, and even having feelings of shame for over-indulging when my willpower ran out.
After developing an eating disorder and dealing with body image issues, I needed to find a healthy balance in my life. I wanted healthy snacks that were nutritious, satisfying, and made me feel good. I studied Holistic Nutrition at IHN in Mississauga, and with that knowledge, created a formula that is healthy, plant based, high in protein, and guilt-free.
AMINO BALLS WERE CREATED...
And I finally felt good about snacking! After sharing my creation with friends and family, Amino Balls quickly became their favourite snack and I knew that I had created something great. In a matter of months I had orders for parties, sporting events, and weekly subscriptions. My dream is to share these products so everyone can enjoy a nutritious, dessert-like snack.
