JULIA & JULIEN’S

The idea for the foundation came about during a safari in beautiful South Africa. For hours we watched elephants, lions and antelopes. After some time we were hungry. The question was who was the hunger more looked at, the lion or us? We decided to take a break. Our backpacks were packed with dried fruits and all kinds of nuts. There were dates, bananas, grapes, strawberries and raspberries. Also almonds, walnuts and cashew nuts. We noticed that we did not eat nuts or fruit individually, but always together. After we slowly tried all possible combinations, we thought to ourselves: "Not bad at all". You can do even more there. Said, done...

A little later in Germany we tried it out. Julia stood on one side of the cooking island, I on the other and the bowl with our "creation" between us. "Unfortunately" the mixer failed and the content was not quite homogeneous. The best thing that could happen to us! The pieces in between gave the whole thing a certain bite and you could actually still guess which ingredients were in it. We tried them before we formed them. Then we looked at each other and both had to grin - such an incomparable taste! Then we formed them into little "pralines" and Voila! Born were JULIA & JULIEN'S, short JJ's.

But now we asked ourselves, why we have never seen something like this in Germany before? After all, it was really the perfect snack: unbelievable taste, rich in energy, a filling agent and super healthy at the same time. And by far not as boring as muesli bars or student food. Afterwards we informed ourselves, created a concept and a short time later we founded (the heap of work and the many small intermediate steps as well as nervous breakdowns were left out ?).

It was very important to us that we pack the JJ's in a noble design, which makes the small balls also in the packaging a real eye-catcher. Because they are so healthy and without additives, we wanted a cool and high-quality lifestyle packaging that brings a hint of the South African sun every time you look at it and is almost too good to throw away. That's why our tip to you: "Simply reuse! We also came to the conclusion that less is sometimes more when it comes to outer packaging. That's why the outer packaging is not bleached and the black ink goes directly onto the cardboard without any detours. This is more environmentally friendly, more natural and looks better too!
