Welcome to UNIVERSAL FUEL FOODS, an international lifestyle brand that promotes the essence of “food as fuel” and medicine. Our long term goal is to create a franchise model and concept for healthy “take-out” and “to-go” for Super Snacks which have extended shelf-life and market potential. Think the McHealthy of Snacks.
Our first step is to launch the beautiful, delicious and already market-approved “SUPER SQUARE” (formally known as the beloved Superball) in order to gain brand identity and recognition which will help to offset future steps, running costs and which will also serve as a tangible point of interest to future investors, partners, etc.
The most exciting part of this successful campaign, and also integral to our mission of food as fuel and medicine, is that you will help bring to the market the world’s first energy snack which has the addition of COLD PRESSED HEMP powder with the medicinal effects of CBD. You can read more about the health benefits athttp://sanahempjuice.com/. It is now approved for the EU and for the other markets we will offer the same product without the CBD until the regulations permit and by which time should coincide with the readiness of our distribution model.
This snack is intended to have global impact in the way that it is so pure and powerful that it could even be a full meal for someone who is immune suppressed and needs a full spectrum of nutrition in a very few bites. Like those in the hospital or recovering from illness. Think vending machines in hospitals and health care facilities, gyms, athletes, busy families, pre or post work-outs, olympic events, airlines, stadiums, military operations, the next trip to Mars, oh dear! Potential of mongongous proportions!
The SUPER SQUARE is A UNIVERSAL FUEL “wholefoods” snack which represents balance, good digestion, gut health and hence disease prevention within the body. It is a 100% organic, raw, SUPERFOOD treat with berries, nuts, dried fruit, seeds, high in protein, healthy fats and takes healthy and delicious to a new level! It is free from gluten, dairy, soy, all harmful chemicals, additives, fillers, refined sugars, colorants, etc.
All of the ingredients are sourced from great companies who meet my standards of fair, fresh and pure.
I am professionally certified and a graduate of the premier Living Light Culinary School in California as a gourmet raw food and vegan chef with a background in nutrition and dietetics and my passion is food design and clean, healing foods. I want to offer to the world accessibility to convenient, healing and nutrient dense foods, alive with enzymes, that are as close to nature as possible. Food should be an experience that will maximize our potential for life force, overall happiness and longevity. I want for the products that I design to have great impact globally as we enter a new paradigm shift toward food as medicine.
I am originally from the beautiful and friendly Nova Scotia, Canada, and I have been working internationally as a consultant, chef, food design engineer and instructor at health, wellness and detox centres and most recently I was contracted to come to The Netherlands to design franchise models for healthy “take-out” and “to-go” green start-up companies. I have been based in Amsterdam since 2013 and am now the sole proprietor of my Universal Fuel Foods company and I’m ready to build my own high quality and honest brand.
Our “Super Square” has come a long way! It’s time to ensure it’s place in the European market and to make inroads into the global market. For initial start-up costs and and to get our first healing and medicinal snack of the ground we need to budget for the following: (Approximate figures rounded up to between 2-5%)
This project is part of a much larger collaborative mission.
The whole production was very small and unable to meet the demand. The costs for the ingredients were high and it turns out that creating a “ball” shape is timely and not an ideal product for mass scale or to ever see the shelf. There was also the concern that a “natural” product would not be able to sustain the shelf-life capacity required for the interest of the market and investors.
Despite the obstacles I have continued my small scale operation of the Superballs for over two years by myself and with the help of interns as I have been striving to maintain and grow my client base and to test the market. They are flourishing at trendy cafes, coffee shops and health food stores (including the VITAMIN STORE chain stores) in The Netherlands.
They have been invited to many major food related festivals and also featured at huge events and have had interest from magazines, bloggers and publications, exclusive hotels and corporate canteens. We even had the endorsement of a Dutch Decathlete.
