Is fear of not knowing how to begin keeping you from diving into your passion and building your dream business? Then get ready to be inspired by Michael’s story! He and his wife Victoria began their working life as London-based lawyers. But sitting at a desk for 12 hours a day, grabbing fast food on the go and binging on their favorite comfort food (ice cream, of course) wasn’t their dream.
Pounds were piling on and the stress of the job was really getting to them. They wanted to start a business but didn’t know how. One day, Victoria made a healthy, vegan strawberry and mango frozen dessert. It was the lightbulb moment: why not make delicious healthy desserts that are big on flavor, with simple, natural ingredients? Frozen Fruit Co was born! Listen now!
They started making their healthy, vegan frozen fruit concoctions in their kitchen, giving it to friends and small local delis. This slowly expanded to supplying more shops and supermarkets; but that wasn’t the dream. Even though they’d never been to America before, what they really wanted was to take their delicious desserts to sunny Los Angeles. It was a journey fraught with delays, challenges and scary moments. But they were committed to their dream and decided to take the risk. Their Santa Monica store has now been open a year and they’re planning to open another store in 2018—proof you can do anything you set your mind to, no matter where you start from.
So check out their store in Santa Monica and treat yourself to a gorgeous guilt-free fruit dessert—free from gluten, refined sugar, GMOs, and artificial ingredients, and packed with all the nutritious goodness of fruit, Frozen Fruit Co will satisfy your sweet tooth and nourish your body! We tried them and OMG! Fruity heaven!
