It started with a jar on a counter...
For Kevin
In 2015, I created a nutrient-rich snack for a dear friend undergoing chemotherapy treatments. I had set out to achieve the impossible. Making a delicious yet healthy, lower sugar snack that would mask the bitter, metallic taste from chemotherapy seemed impossible, but I’ve never been one to shy away from a challenge.
So, I spent countless hours researching Kevin’s specific type of cancer, visiting blogs and forums, reading nutrition and medical books, combing through my holistic nutrition school notes, and finally, testing out the perfect flavor combination.
I was determined to create a mix that Kevin could not only taste, but truly enjoy. I reverse engineered a granola-style snack mix that includes high-quality fats, protein, and various nuts and spices to help prevent nausea and depression, plus has antioxidants and cancer fighting properties. Each ingredient was meticulously selected for its nourishing and nutrient-rich property.
Every day I left a jar for Kevin. Although I didn’t intend to start a business, soon friends and family asked for their own jars of Kevin’s snack mix. To honor Kevin, in 2016, I began making Becca’s Petites available for everyone who shares the passion to live well.
Today, our mission is simple: Feed your hunger to live well!
