Have you browsed the snack bar section at your local health food market lately? You\u2019ll find a seemingly endless array of flavors expressed in fruits and grains\u2014and a lot of nuts. So if you\u2019re saddled with allergies or intolerances (like me), you\u2019ll read the labels, heave a regretful sigh, and continue on your futile quest for allergen-free snacks.<\/p>\n

Blake Sorensen decided to do something about that. \u201cI had accepted that I couldn\u2019t eat pretty much any bar, trail mix, or cookie on the market because they all had nuts in them. And then one day on a long road trip, I walked into a gas station, strolled down the snack bar aisle, and in a moment of frustration said, \u2018Why don\u2019t I just make these myself?\u2019 There are 32 million people in the U.S. that have food allergies, and there truly is a lack of healthy, allergen-free snacks for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raising the Bar on Allergen-Free Snacks<\/h2>\n

Sorensen focused on creating allergen-free snack bars\u2014first and foremost no tree nuts, but also no peanuts, dairy, gluten, or soy. Experimenting in his kitchen, he used a variety of seeds and fruits to realize his determination to produce something healthy and delicious that everyone could safely enjoy.<\/p>\n

The result? Blake\u2019s Seed-Based<\/a> bars and treats. \u201cI don\u2019t want anyone with an allergy to feel deprived or scared of snacks. While a snack bar or Rice Krispies treat might not change the world, we can give an athlete fuel to perform, provide a kid with a safe snack to fit in with their friends, and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

These nut-free, gluten-free, vegan snack bars are made from sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds; fruits such as raspberries and blueberries; and puffed quinoa and rice. And remember those Rice Krispies treats that Mom used to make? Blake\u2019s does them one better with a healthier and tastier version of the time-honored classic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Wholesome Rewards<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe hardest part about this journey,\u201d Sorenson says, \u201cis losing sight of your mission. I always have to remind myself to step back, to look at what we\u2019re building and at how far I\u2019ve come from that moment in the gas station when I decided to take my snacking matters into my own hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in the end, the rewards definitely outweigh the growing pains. \u201cEvery child, teenager, and adult out there who is able to safely enjoy a snack that we make\u2014that brings me endless joy. I am motivated to reach everyone who has an allergy and show them that they too can safely snack on something delicious and nutritious.\u201d<\/p>\n

make it!<\/h2>\n
