OHME! Foods was founded as our passion project. As healthcare professionals, Han and I saw how hard it was to find snacks that were both healthy and delicious—so we were determined to change the snacking scene and created OHME! with a goal to make healthy snacking easy and enjoyable. We’re on a mission to bring joy to healthy snacking—whether it’s fueling an adventure, a busy day, or a cozy moment at home. Seeing people fall in love with our snacks keeps us inspired every day!
Getting from an idea to a small business is a lot of work! When did it first sink in for you that ‘this is really happening’?
It really hit us when customers started placing online orders after trying out our products at local pop up events—our first "wow" moment! Soon after, the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver reached out for a partnership, making it feel even more real. Another defining moment was when more retail partners and brands we admire approached us for collaborations. Seeing OHME! resonate with others and grow beyond our expectations has been truly magical!
Out of all your products, which is your personal favourite and why?
We both love the Strawberry Yogurt Crunch—it’s creamy, tangy, and perfectly sweet. The blend of Greek yogurt and fruit feels indulgent yet wholesome, which is why it's our top go-to snack for a quick, delicious energy boost. We also pack them in our son's school snack box, and he loves them! Creating something our whole family enjoys is incredibly rewarding.
What motivates you on a day-to-day basis?
Hearing from our customers! Whether it’s a parent who found a new snack their kids love or a hiker taking OHME! on their adventures, knowing that we’re making healthy snacking fun and convenient keeps me going. Also, the excitement of growing OHME! into something bigger while staying true to our mission is a huge motivator.
What’s your favourite thing about the town or city you live in?
Vancouver’s natural beauty—it’s the best of both worlds! I love how you can be by the ocean in the morning and up in the mountains by the afternoon. Plus, the city is full of foodies and wellness lovers, which makes it such an inspiring place to grow OHME!
Describe your ideal Sunday morning, including your breakfast.
Our ideal Sunday morning starts slow, with no alarms. We’d make a matcha latte and enjoy a simple breakfast—oatmeal topped with a variety of OHME! berries (and add a drizzle of honey, of course). After that, a walk by the seawall or a cozy morning at a local café sounds perfect!
What are your personal top three tips for feeling amazing?
Eat real food. Nourishing your body with simple, natural ingredients makes a huge difference.
Move your body. Whether it’s a workout, a walk, or even stretching—movement is magic.
Prioritize joy. Make time for things that make you happy, whether that’s self-care, creativity, or spending time with loved ones.
