If you’ve ever wished there was a delicious sweet that was vegan, sugar-, gluten- and palm-oil free, and actually good for you, then you’ll be excited to hear about Wellibities, healthy sweets invented by a Swedish Pharmacist back in 2018.
The founder behind Wellibites is Swedish Sara Serray. She is a pharmacist and a health & nutritional coach with a sweet tooth who wants to create change. She saw a growing trend of sugar consumption, obesity and diabetes among young people and thought it must be possible to develop a healthy alternative. Sara bet house, car and job and began experimenting, and the result was Wellibites, great tasting, naturally flavored sweets packed with vitamins and minerals so you can feel good about eating them.
