Clara says, “taste is paramount, in terms macros or nutrition content, for me it’s always been about being under 200 calories, 10 grams of protein, high fiber. All the things that a nutritionist would tell you to look for because my product has to do a job. It’s not just a fun snack, Even though it is fun and it’s fun to eat, it has to actually keep you full. It has to get you through mid afternoon slump or get you from breakfast to lunch and keep you full.”

She goes on to say, “the way I test for those things is I test them on my kids, because children are the best consumer market because they don’t lie and they don’t pander and they will only eat things that they actually like.”
