Catalina Crunch was founded by a 17-year-old diabetic named Krishna Kaliannan, who was on a search to satisfy his sweet cravings without the excess sugar and empty carbs. He started mixing his own recipes in his kitchen with delicious, all-natural ingredients. Since then, Catalina Crunch has opened up its doors to a small NYC apartment and expanded to offer soup mixes, and will soon be entering its fourth category in the keto snack industry.
Catalina Crunch is one of America's fastest-growing cereal brands, with a rapidly expanding distribution network across America. Catalina Crunch is already available in 15,000 stores nationwide, including big players like Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Costco, Target, Publix and Albertsons. Catalina Crunch is perfect for breakfast with milk or as a healthy snack on-the-go.
