Who is Deepika from the guilt free delights?
As Deepika says:
I am a mother of two boys ( 5.5 and 7 years old). After the birth of my second son in 2016, I quit a successful career in banking and finance to become a full-time mum. During this time, I also changed my diet to a whole food plant-based diet from a meat based diet and noticed a significant increase in my energy levels and overall well-being. I wanted to do the same for my boys who are very active and require a lot of energy. Finding nutritious plant based products for them was a big challenge especially in a market that is filled with unhealthy and sugary products for kids.
Although I restrained from giving them any sugary or packaged snacks, I realized that their taste palates had to be satisfied as well especially when their friends would offer them sugary treats. Faced with the challenge of providing snacks that were nutrient packed for their growing bodies but at the same time appealing to their taste buds, I spent a lot of time and energy trying to create healthy snacks that are made from natural ingredients and contain no artificial sweeteners.
While talking to my other mum friends, I realized that they too were looking for alternatives to the widely available unhealthy snacks. This realization got me thinking about sharing the snacks approved by my boys with other mums with a hope of providing some help with healthy nutritious snacks for their kids. I started preparing snacks for their kids and through word of mouth for their friends’ kids.
And my business of freshly baked vegan and plant-based bites started!
All the snacks are freshly baked to order. They are hearty, nutrient dense, power packed, made with natural sweeteners and completely plant based. These treats are truly guilt-free so even adults can enjoy them! My husband regularly eats muffins or sugar-free brownies with his afternoon tea and doesn’t have to worry about afternoon snacking issues any more.
My kids would still occasionally eat that candy or enjoy a slice of regular cake but they’ve learnt to limit their consumption of such items and are more aware of the difference between healthy and junk food. I feel that this is a big win not just for now but for their entire life.
My venture is at a very nascent stage and I am new to the world of entrepreneurship. But I truly believe in my goal of educating kids about clean eating habits and showing them that healthy food can be delicious.
