Redefining Healthy Snacks

In our quest to eat healthily and live a balanced lifestyle, finding a sweet, healthy snack that actually looks and tastes good is a tough act to follow. Justine Dampt, Founder, and CEO of ENCAS, is an entrepreneur and a registered Health Coach who explains more.

Background
Born in France, Justine studied in Canada and began a business in Egypt. She moved to Dubai in 2011 and after a career in the media industry, her passion for sports, nutrition, and health triggered her to ENCAS in November 2016. Justine had grown up on rich sweet treats such as Macarons, Crème Caramel, and Mousse au Chocolat and was becoming increasingly disheartened with the bland taste of so-called healthy snacks.

After experiencing a poor immune system and several food intolerances, she had to adopt a new way of eating and consequently, embarked upon a plant-based diet that was mostly vegan, and free of processed and refined foods. Also, her sensitivity to sucrose, fructose, and gluten made eating desserts almost impossible. She quickly learned that many ‘free from’ ranges were actually filled with additives. Moreover, most natural snacks were bland in taste and not gourmet in the true sense.

The Start
A brand that lauds taste and presentation, ENCAS–which means snack in French–are handcrafted by artisans in Dubai. The brand is unique as it also focuses food design and presentation in addition to healthy ingredients, quality, and preparation methods that preserve the nutritional integrity of their products.
