My personal story
I spent 15 years building a career in the United Arab Emirates and after family relocation to the Czech Republic, I became more aware of the consequences of my stressful job and unhealthy diet. The result was 30 kg overweight, joints pain, back pain and other health issues.
During pregnancy I became more interested in what I eat. Each time I was buying new food I carefully studied all nutrition labels, started to be careful in food combination and was discovering new healthy food choices.
My journey to my ideal weight took several years, I made mistakes and was held back by following bad trends. Then I decided to improve my knowledge and started to study Nutrition Coaching to become Certified Nutritionist.
Now, I want to help others to avoid unnecessary mistakes and go straight to the right path of healthy eating.
It's not just about losing the weight but about a new approach to yourself.

My Philosophy
Only the highest quality of the products I use, will guarantee a distinctive, yet unique taste of my homemade granola. I buy most of the ingredients from local suppliers in organic quality.
I use lyophilised - freeze-dried fruit instead of common dried fruit. Fruit processed in dry freezing does not change its shape, colour or its taste. At the same time the nutritional values are preserved, as well as the levels of fiber, vitamins and minerals. And as a bonus, it does not contain any added sugar. Such a small miracle :). I do use common dried fruit for granola bites and bars but always unsweetened and unsulphured. I sweeten my products with forest honey or molasses, I use maple or chicory syrup for vegans or for customers with specific dietary requirements. Chocolate used is at least 75% Belgian and in my premium line I use dark 75% chocolate sweetened with molasses, made in the Czech Republic.
Every day I come up with new choices of combinations taking into account the needs of customers. It is a challenge for me to prepare products according to your nutritional needs - whether with no added sugar, gluten-free, keto, paleo, high in protein or high in fiber.... You choose!
You have a wish and I will fulfil it Everything is mixed and baked with love which is the essential and secret spice to my products. I would like to offer you great taste, wonderful texture and deliciously trendy products that are right just for you.
