Sharing Our Love for Women-Run Brands You'll Absolutely Love, Too!

Hail Merry - August 29 2024

Girl Power in Every Bite

Hey there, label-reading ninjas and health enthusiasts! Ready to meet some seriously inspiring women-led brands that are changing the game and reinventing their market categories? We're thrilled to share the spotlight with a few of our favorites. From dreamy dairy-free yogurts to guilt-free snacks, these brands are not only delicious but also empowering. Let's dig in!

Hail Merry: Sweet Snacking, Elevated

We couldn't start this list without giving a shoutout to ourselves—Hail Merry! Proudly women-founded and woman-led, we're all about creating luxuriously delicious healthified sweet treats. Our purpose? To provide better-for-you plant-based snacks that celebrate the benefits of energizing coconut oil and raw fats from nuts, while delivering an unparalleled fresh taste experience from our unique low-temp preparation.

Why We Do What We Do

Let’s face it – women like (need) to eat decadent delicious food, but we do not want the guilt that comes with eating snacks that are loaded with ingredients that are depleting to our health. We feature mostly organic premium ingredients at actually energize and fuel the body. We do not cut corners by using emulsifiers, gums, bad seed or palm oils, fake sugars or ingredients that contain GMO’s. It is our mission to keep innovating quality products and pushing boundaries of food science. Because it’s our health in the balance!

At Hail Merry, we also believe in authenticity, and the power of sisterhood. And guess what? We've found some incredible women-led brands that share this same vision.

Avaline: Wine o'Clock Never Looked This Good

Imagine sipping on a glass of wine that's as clean as your diet. That's Avaline for you. Co-founded by Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power, Avaline is all about organic wines without any unnecessary additives so prevalent in the US (and that give you headaches!). Their wines are made from the purest grapes, allowing you to enjoy a guilt-free glass (or two) with friends.

Why Avaline Stands Out

Avaline's commitment to transparency in winemaking is refreshing. They list all their ingredients on the label, so you know exactly what's in your glass. No hidden nasties, just pure, delicious wine. Plus, their chic packaging makes it a perfect gift for any wine lover.

Quinn Snacks: Snack Smarter, Not Harder

Next up, we have Quinn Snacks—a brand that’s redefining snacking. Founded by Kristy Lewis, Quinn is on a mission to make snacks that you can feel good about eating. Their products arenon-GMO, gluten-free, and made with responsibly sourced ingredients. Whether you're munching on their pretzels or popping their popcorn, you're in for a treat that's both delicious and nutritious.

The Quinn Commitment

What sets Quinn apart is their dedication to sustainability. They prioritize regenerative agriculture practices, ensuring that their snacks are not only good for you but also for the planet. With Quinn, snacking smarter has never been easier.

Culina Yogurt: Dairy-Free Delight

If you're looking for a dairy-free yogurt that's both creamy and flavorful, Culina is your go-to. Founded by Erin Kelleher, Culina brings you plant-based yogurts that are rich, indulgent, and free from any artificial nonsense. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, Culina's yogurts are a perfect addition to your morning routine or an afternoon snack.

Founder Erin Kelleher says, "A few years ago, I suddenly had to remove dairy, sugar, and gluten (basically everything delicious) from my diet. At that time, there weren’t any clean non- dairy yogurt options out there— and what’s life without yogurt? Luckily, I’m kind of obsessed with cooking. After, many fails (a few epic), I created Culina, a coconut-based yogurt that was so good my friends kept stealing it from my fridge. Enjoy!"

Why We Love Culina

Culina's commitment to quality and taste is evident in every spoonful. They use coconut milk as a base, which not only provides a creamy texture but also adds a natural sweetness. Plus, their flavors are to die for—think Blueberry Lavender and Strawberry Rose. Yum!

Siete Foods: Family-Owned Goodness

Another inspiring brand making waves is Siete Foods. Founded by Veronica Garza and her family, Siete is all about bringing delicious, grain-free Mexican-American foods to your table. From tortillas to hot sauces, every product is crafted with love and care, using real, wholesome ingredients.

The Siete Story

The Garza family started Siete to address their own dietary needs and quickly realized they could help others with similar restrictions. Today, Siete is a household name, known for its commitment to health and culture. Their products are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients, making every meal a fiesta. 

Hint Water: Hydration with a Twist

Say goodbye to boring water with Hint—founded by Kara Goldin. Hint offers naturally flavored water with no sugar, sweeteners, or calories. It's the perfect way to stay hydrated while enjoying a splash of flavor. Whether you're a fan of Watermelon or Blackberry, Hint has a flavor for everyone.

Why Choose Hint

Hint's mission is to make healthy choices easier. They believe that drinking water should be an enjoyable experience, not a chore. With Hint, you get all the benefits of hydration without any of the unwanted extras.
