Meet Adriana’s Favourites
Some people have a knack for finding the things you didn’t know you were looking for.
Adriana Carrillo is one of them.
As Co-Founder of Healthy Prickly Concepts, makers of allergen-friendly, fibre-rich cactus chips, Adriana knows that discovering something new can be every bit as satisfying as finding an old favourite.
So when we invited Adriana to create her own Gifts of Goodness Celebrity Box, we asked one simple question:
What would you be happy to put on your own table and share with someone else?
Her answer is this delicious mix of sweet, savoury, crunchy, chocolatey and sippable finds from Canadian food businesses.
There’s cactus. There’s chocolate. There are roasted nuts, crisp little waffles, granola bites, goldenberries, loose-leaf tea and even chocolate-covered coffee beans.
In other words, Adriana did not come here to be boring.
What’s Inside Adriana’s Celebrity Box
Healthy Prickly Concepts – Cactus Basil Chips Adriana’s own fibre-rich cactus chips bring an unexpected savoury crunch to the collection.
Green Sun Foods – Chocolate-Covered Goldenberries Bright goldenberries meet dark chocolate for a sweet-tart bite with a little personality.
The Simple Date – Double Date Chocolate Bar A chocolate bar sweetened with dates for an easy little indulgence.
Jewels Under The Kilt – Dry Roasted Salted Mixed Nuts A generous mix of roasted nuts that belongs on the sharing table, happy-hour spread or desk drawer.
Rawcology – Apple Cinnamon Granola Snack Bites + Probiotics Crunchy apple-cinnamon bites for when snacking calls for something a little more interesting.
Pod Squad Snacks – Cocoa Mini Waffle Crisps Organic cocoa waffle crisps with plenty of crunch and serious snackability.
Moong Pani – Golden Mung Sipping Broth A warming plant-based sipping broth that brings something savoury and unexpected to the box.
Sparkplug Coffee – Chocolate-Covered Coffee Beans Coffee and chocolate meet in one very snackable little package.
Urban Calm Coffee – SUNSET Green Loose Leaf Tea A green loose-leaf tea for slowing things down after all that delicious discovery.
Why Adriana Chose It
Adriana’s box feels a lot like the food entrepreneur herself: curious, adventurous and willing to try something different.
It moves easily between the sweet and savoury, the familiar and the unexpected.
You can put it out when friends arrive.
Take a few favourites to the office.
Hide the chocolate-covered coffee beans for yourself.
Or make a cup of tea, open something crunchy and turn an ordinary afternoon into your own tasting session.
That’s the fun of a Celebrity Box.
Someone else has already done the discovering. You get to enjoy the favourites.
Give Something Worth Discovering
Finding a gift is easy.
Finding one that introduces someone to Canadian small businesses, female food entrepreneurs and products they may never have encountered before takes a little more thought.
That is exactly what Gifts of Goodness was created to do.
