Our Story
We are pretty outdoorsy people- going for long walks with our dog in the fresh air, hiking, skiing and running are just some of our favourite activities on top of cooking, baking and more importantly eating.
One of our top energy boosting choices is a spoonful of nut butter and we are always on the lookout for yummy nutty snack in our local supermarket. But we were pretty disappointed about the spreads that were on offer: crammed with additives and high in sugar. Of course you can find some healthier options now, but even peanut- or almond butter can get a bit boring...
And not only do we enjoy natural, healthy food but we think of ourselves as very caring humans too: for the environment, animals, the poor and in particular vulnerable children. Again, additive-free treats that not only made us feel good but did good for someone else were hard to come by.
So, basically, we decided to make it ourselves...
Jake's Boost is available in jars as well as convenient snack pots, paired with naturally dried fruit crisps. The perfect snack on the go, at your desk or whenever you need a a little pick-me-up without the rubbish.
So far, we offer two nut and seed butter mixes, and a third one is in development.You can see that we have big plans and more products will soon follow....
Our Mission
Ansje was privileged to have a job that took her around the world. When she worked and lived in Mongolia, she was involved with a charity that supplied poor children with learning materials, clothes and meals at school.
Upon her return, she was shocked to discover that over 3.5 million children in the UK live in poverty and over 500,000 go to school hungry every day.
Malnourished children are less likely to perform well at school and suffer from headaches, lack of concentration and lethargy.
Every child deserves a chance for a brighter future and with every jar or snack pot sold, Jake's Boost helps to provide a child in need with a nutritious meal by donating 5% of our profits to childhood food poverty charities. With your help we can solve the problem of child hunger for good, first in the UK and eventuelly worldwide.
Only together can we defeat world hunger!
