I met Kimberley at the CFRA show on
March 2 at the Exhibition Centre in Toronto. After speaking to Kimberley and
discovering her passion for food and nutrition, she informed me that she was
also a picky eater and she wanted to create a delicious, healthy snack. Kimberley owns her own line of gourmet cereals and granola.
Her products are high in fiber, protein, cholesterol free and zero added
sodium. She informed me that her journey with food began by creating baskets of
cookies and goodies for her friends and family as Christmas gifts. With the
support and encouragement of friends and family she decided to follow her
passion.
Using her culinary background and kinesiology
degree, she created her own line of healthy granola. Her original blends are
gluten free, wheat free, soy free, dairy free and are safe for those with
celiac conditions.
What inspired me about Kimberley’s
story was hearing her explain how she fought with Kellogg’s to keep her trademark
for company. She could not afford a lawyer at that time and made up her mind to take on Kellogs by herself. After a long battle, Kimberley won the case and was able to keep her trademark. Way to go Kimberley. When
inquired, Kimberley’s words of encouragement for women in fulfilling their dreams
were “Don’t give up! Keep going!” Her website provides the health benefits of
her three delicious blends, recipes and locations all over Toronto on where to
purchase her products.
I am excited
to try out her Apple and Pear Crumble with her Original Blend.
Thank
you Kimberley, you are inspiring
