Product Snapshot: Blake’s Seed Based, the seed-based, Top 8 allergen-free snacks company, is celebrating its official brand launch by introducing two product lines: Blake’s Seed Based snack bars and Blake’s Seed Based protein bars. The snack bars, available in Chocolate Chip, Raspberry, and Pineapple, feature pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. The protein bars, arriving in Mango-Lemon and Chocolate-Mint, feature a mix of seeds and pea protein, providing 15 grams of plant-based protein per bar.

Founded by former collegiate athlete Blake Sorensen, Blake’s Seed Based proves that having a food allergy doesn’t mean a lifetime of boring, tasteless snacks. “Growing up with a deathly nut allergy, I’ve experienced how incredibly stressful food allergies can be and was frustrated with the lack of snacking options, so I started to create my own,” said Blake Sorensen, founder of Blake’s Seed Based. “Beyond being allergy-friendly, my favorite benefits of Blake’s Seed Based snacks are that they can be enjoyed by everyone, allergies or not, because they’re healthy and taste great - which sets them apart from other allergy-friendly snacks on the market today.”

Blake’s Seed Based brings its mission full circle with its Bar for a Box promise: for every box sold, Blake’s Seed Based donates a bar to schools’ meal programs. Today, 1 in 13 kids have food allergies and with a goal of donating one million bars, starting in the Chicagoland area, Blake’s Seed Based aims to provide students with safe, healthy, and great-tasting snack options that help optimize kids’ eating experiences at school. For Blake, eating safe foods at school was a challenge, so he’s made it his mission to provide an easily accessible, safe snacking solution to kids, parents, and school staff.
