OUR STORY
From Fussy Eaters to Nutritional Magic
We're two mums, two best friends, and two former corporate professionals who got tired of mealtime battles — and decided to do something about it.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
Tanika Marais & Rentus Roux
We're best friends who bonded over the same exhausting problem — children who refused to eat their vegetables. After years of hiding broccoli in pasta sauce and negotiating over peas, we asked ourselves a simple question:
"What if vegetables were the fun part?"
That question became Veggie Sparkles. Science-backed, fuss-free, and properly nutritious — because your children deserve both.
Partnered with Innovate UK

Who we are
We’re Veggie Sparkles — a small team of founders, mums and food-focused innovators on a mission to make vegetables easier for families.
We created Veggie Sparkles to solve a problem we knew all too well: getting children to eat vegetables without the stress, pressure or mealtime battles.
By transforming real vegetables into a fun, sprinkle-style format, we’re helping families introduce vegetables in a way that feels simple, familiar and achievable.
Developed with food science expertise and backed by innovation, Veggie Sparkles is about making small, positive changes that add up over time.
