All About Snacktivist

All About Snacktivist

Juggling long nursing shifts and busy days full of activities with my three kids is undoubtedly a challenge, but it means the most to us. I found that if I made large batches of gluten-free, vegan, dry-mixes on the weekends, it was easier for us to eat healthier & high-quality throughout the week. Shortly after, friends and coworkers began asking where they could purchase them. Snacktivist Foods was born!
