The Holy Crap Cookbook

When Corin and Brian Mullins started their company,

HapiFoods, in 2009 with just $129, they had no idea that in

less than a decade they would be shipping millions of bags of

cereals around the world. They just wanted to make a nourishing

product that would both taste good and be compatible with

Brian's food allergies—and perhaps sell it locally for a bit of

extra retirement income. After much experimentation, Corin

came across the tiny black chia seed—a complete protein, rich in

omega 3 fatty acids as well as minerals, antioxidants and fibre.

Corin blended chia with nutrient-rich buckwheat and hulled

hemp seeds and, inspired by an enthusiastic comment from

one of their first customers, she and Brian decided to label their

first creation "Holy Crap, the World's Most Amazing Cereal."

Thanks in part to an appearance on the hit CBC show Dragons'

Den, their products gained the attention of Canadian consumers,

many of whom became loyal customers.

Starting with HapiFoods' cereals and adding other

healthy ingredients, this inspirational cookbook emphasizes a

plant-based, gluten-free diet and includes over 60 simple-to-prepare

but simply awesome recipes that harness the power of

superfoods. From protein-packed breakfast fare like refreshing

smoothies and perfect pancakes, to satisfying savory dishes and

decadent desserts that don't sacrifice nutrition for flavour, all

the recipes in The Holy Crap Cookbook are in keeping with the

Holy Crap philosophy: what you eat should be good for you and

taste great.
