?? Dream big, eat well. Today's goals start with a tasty breakfast?? Co-Founder and CEO of Three Wishes Cereal, Margaret W., is a bilingual ‘Jill of all Trades’, with a diverse professional background. However, it was her hunger (pun intended) and passion for improving the consumer experience that propelled her entrepreneurial journey. In 2012, after working full-time during her entire college experience, Margaret received a Bachelor of Arts in sociology from Hunter College.?She currently sits on the Hunter College Advisory Board. After graduation, Margaret worked in various roles, including as Chief of Staff at BIGEYEDWISH, which is the ad agency of her Husband and Co-Founder, Ian Wishingrad. As a new mom, Margaret couldn’t find a nutritionally-dense cereal for her young son and discovered there weren’t any clean, truly better-for-you cereal on the market. Inspired by her desire to provide a better, more nutritious cereal option for her family, she decided to create one. After two long years of research, collaborating with food scientists & manufacturing facilities, refining her product, and convincing retailers to stock her product, Margaret and Ian, launched Three Wishes Ceral in 2018. Three Wishes Cereal is a high protein, low sugar, flavorful breakfast option that is kosher, vegan friendly and gluten free. The base ingredients for most of its cereals include chickpea, tapioca, pea protein, organic cane sugar, natural flavors, and monk fruit (which is a low-calorie sweetener great for people with diabetes). Three Wishes is packed with plant-based protein and each serving only has 3 grams of sugar, which makes it 70% less sugary than the leading cereals brands. It’s also free of any corn, rice, dairy, oats, peanuts, and soy. Overall, It is a healthier breakfast option made with wholesome, quality ingredients. Hungry yet? The product is available on major platforms like Instacart, Thrive Market, Amazon, and Target, as well as in local grocery stores across the country. Just enter your zip code on their website to find the nearest one. ?? Website: https://lnkd.in/euhi2-Tb #Entreprenuership #HealthyFoodChoices #Cereal #Breakfast
