Today we're talking with the owner of Yummmmbar. We're excited to talk with someone who's left the corporate world and found her passion in a space that brings her complete joy. And other's a full belly! Of course we're all about sustainable nutrition. And so this episode is the perfect match up where we talk good food, and busy women.
Founder, Vicky Nguyen, relied heavily on granola bars to curb hunger pangs. Although tasty, those snacks never filled her up or kept her satisfied, instead it left her wanting more. It was a constant battle between the mind and the taste buds. She tried the health bars at the specialty food markets, but nothing seemed to satisfy her palate, belly or wallet.
Without a lot of experience in the kitchen, she experimented with different healthy ingredients that could potentially keep her fuller longer and finally came up with a creation of her own. As the first taste tester of this new creation, she was delighted to see this bar made a great impression on her younger sister. Shortly after, she brought a bar to work and let one of her colleague taste-tested it. That’s when he planted a seed in her head to start selling the bars.
