We're happy to present you some local startups who will offer you their healthy snacks.
We pioneer in easy, tasty and nutritionally complete meals since 2014. Our mission is to create easy and tasty nutritionally complete meals that give you more time and energy to do what you love.
In the world around us you will find many snacks with unnecessary additives and unhealthy ingredients. This should be different. With the snacks of John Altman you can enjoy a better alternative in the snack category. All snacks are 100% natural, hand made and therefore a responsible choice.
MANA is the only kombucha on the Dutch market without added sugar or sweeteners. The outcome is not only healthier, but also more sustainable. Because, although MANA likes to be served cold, this kombucha does not have to be stored refrigerated. Better for the world and better for you.
