What we believe in

We are on a mission to inspire an incredible, edible adventure where fantasy meets nutrition. Our aim is to ignite children's imaginations and taste buds, leading them on a playful journey through whimsical worlds where making healthy choices is part of the fun.

With Jolene as their guide, kids become heroes of their own health, empowered to explore, understand, and choose wisely. Through storytelling and adventure, we aspire to shape a future where moderation and mindfulness set the table for a lifetime of wellbeing.

BALANCE AND MODERATION

Promoting a balanced approach to nutrition isn't just about understanding and choosing wisely. It's about empowering children, parents, and educators with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed, healthy decisions. Embracing this principle, we foster a sense of autonomy, confidence, and joy in the exploration of well-being.

FUN AND FANTASY

Our brand thrives on the merger of fun, fantasy, and the educational journey of nutrition. We believe in igniting curiosity and wonder, making the learning process an incredible, edible adventure that deeply resonates with both children and adults. Through this unique blend, we strive to transform nutrition education into a captivating escapade, emboldening children to embrace the journey with enthusiasm.

WHIMSICAL WISDOM

We seek to deliver profound insights wrapped in delightful, whimsical ways. By combining deep knowledge with playful elements, we're not just educating – we're fostering a love for learning. Our approach ensures that children not only gain wisdom but do so in delightful, unexpected, and empowering ways.

The Origins of Our Edible Escapades.

It began as a shared dream between two visionaries, noticing a gap where nutrition often felt like a narrative of do's and don'ts. Their aspiration? To rewrite this script, introducing a world where every 'do' is a doorway to discovery.

From that spark, Junk Food Jolene was birthed, not just as a character but as a catalyst — reshaping how families perceive, discuss, and delve into nutrition.

A joint vision to bring adventure to nutrition.

Celebrating Over Two Decades of Delicious Tales!

Even before the digital age took storytelling by storm, our journey with Junk Food Jolene resonated with many, including some familiar faces from yesteryears.
