About

SPIRIT Almond is the ultimate healthy snack for people who live to eat. It balances perfectly roasted almonds with a delicate blend of six original Japanese flavors, for an irresistible taste and texture. Using only all-natural ingredients, and compatible with nearly every major diet, SPIRIT Almond was created in 2021 as a nourishing, satisfying mini-meal for those who want to eat well while on the go.

Prevention Magazine named SPIRIT Almond Best Nut Snack of the year in its 2022 Healthy Food Awards.

Founding Story

On average, Americans get 25% or more of their daily calories from snacks. Some even refer to snacks as “the fourth meal.” For Jun and Michael Sanders, this really hit home at the start of the pandemic in 2020, when they were stuck at home in Los Angeles and snacking a lot (like most people). Nearly all packaged snack options seemed to fall into two categories — too heavily seasoned and unhealthy, or healthier but boring. Under their boutique luxury sweets brand LUPHIA, Jun and Michael had already created 10-time award-winning chocolate almonds, but it seemed more pressing than ever to try to create an almond snack that was as healthy as it was delicious. She's from Japan and he grew up there. Inspired by the Japanese wellness concept that GOOD food lifts the spirit, they focused on creating Japanese flavors that are less familiar in the snack world, and thus SPIRIT Almond was born.
