Treats Without Limits: Snack On

Do you ever feel like you should treat yourself for trying to take good care of your body? Like maybe the most delicious food shouldn't be the stuff that is slowly killing you? Well you may just have stumbled upon the answer :)

Meet Loleta Cataford of Snack On in Sussex, NB! I was first introduced to the company Snack On several years ago when the founders Mary & Danielle reached out to me about a possible partnership. Since then, we have been carrying their energy bites (the crowd favourite is the peanut butter hemp protein bites), and we also partnered on a Valentine's Day pack this year. Most recently, we started carrying their vegetarian burger patties and Dubai chocolate keto bombs. Loleta makes all kinds of delicious and healthy foods, and what we offer is only a small snippet of what she can do! 

I caught up with Loleta last week and asked her a bit about her origin story.

 

When do you first remember being interested in making food?

• I first remember being interested in food around 14. I started working as a dishwasher and was so envious of the chefs and their ability to transform simple ingredients into beautiful art. I worked my way up learning in kitchens across the U.S. and Canada and then travelled to Mexico, Central America and Jamaica in my pursuit of exotic flavours.

 

When did you take over Snack On and how did that happen?

• I took over snack on in May of last year. I had previously worked with Mary and Danelle and they were ready to pursue other things. They decided I would be a fabulous person to take over and see where SnackOn could grow from there.

 

Tell us a bit about what Snack On means to you and your loved ones.

• Snack On for me means serving my community and family and leaving no one out. It is difficult when you have dietary restrictions and often food is bland and boring. I love changing the conversation around food for people from can’t to can! Snack On also allows me to spend more time with my daughter as she grows and not missing out on the magic of everyday. 

 

Where are you located and where do you sell?

• I am located in Sussex and work out of the Lions Club kitchen here. I sell online at snackon.ca and have pick up times in Sussex as well as Quispamsis.

 

What is your favourite product to make and what is your favourite one to eat?

• My favourite product to make are the featured soups and meals . These allow me to stretch my cooking wings. My favourite product to eat is the spiced nuts! They are dangerously good. My family would say the PB Hemp cups are their favourite though.
