Tell us a little something about your business...
Allo Nutrition is an innovative startup from Toronto, Ontario – that is geared towards changing the way people manage their nutrition and wellness goals. We thrive to curate products that make it easier, and more manageable to acquire and ultimately make it seamless in your daily routine. We understand how hectic life can get, and so we are on a mission to help you achieve your goals in an easy and manageable way.
We created Allo – the first protein powder to seamlessly dissolve into your hot coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate or just about anything hot (and cold too!) – but keeping it hot is what makes us special. Our thermostable protein powder makes it easy for you to instantly mix in protein powder to any of your favourite beverages, and you an also cook with it too.
When was your lightbulb moment?
The lightbulb moment for the creation of our flagship product, Allo – protein powder for hot coffee, was attempting to merge protein powder into the staple beverage; coffee. When realizing that this was not possible, and how great this combination would be in making it easy for the end user. We quickly realized that we can not only make it easier for women and men to reach their daily protein intake seamlessly through their hot beverage, and ultimately solving this problem. Traditional protein shakes are not for everyone, and so Allo comes to the table redefining a new protein journey.
Allo was then created, after 15 months of R&D, we introduce to you protein powder for your hot coffee, in protein creamers and non-creamers. We use all natural flavouring, gluten-free, sugar-free, peanut-free and provide you with amazing flavours to choose from. Choose protein creamers if you like the creaminess and sweetness to your coffee/tea, or go non-creamer and splash the protein powder right in – easily mixing in without any mess or clumps!
What are your three words of advice?
Three words that speak volume to me would be time, mistakes, and discussion.
Time, extremely essential – learning to manage your time and value others’ time is something that will help you make leaps. As an entrepreneur and parent, managing your time is so important with prioritization and preparations, but on the counter part – valuing the time of your colleagues and those you work with is just as important.
Mistakes, these are inevitable. You will always make mistakes, and it’s the mistakes along the way that guide you to your goals. Don’t be letdown when you make mistakes, rather appreciate it, realize it could be worst, and up your game to rectify the situation. Being honest and transparent about mistakes is important too – and will build trust and respect with those around you.
Discussion – talk it out, whether friendly or controversial is always going to give you another perspective. Whether you like it or not engaging in discussion is so healthy to see viability, perspectives, ideation and ultimately taking a point and together making it the 2.0 version collectively.
