Our Story

Hi, I'm Veronique – founder of Leafy Gains and a competitive international lifter. But before I ever picked up a barbell, I had another passion: baking healthy snacks.

The picture you see here is me at 15 years old, making a delicious mess in my mom’s kitchen—something she saw a lot. I was always experimenting with healthy recipes, long before I knew it would turn into a full-blown business.

In 2020, I needed to raise money for Nationals and thought, why not combine my love for lifting and baking? I started selling my double chocolate protein cookies as a fundraiser. It worked—I made it to Nationals, won a silver medal, and qualified for the World Championships in Belarus.

Then COVID hit, and with more time on my hands, I got back into the kitchen. I kept experimenting, trying new flavors, and selling cookies to friends and family. Word spread, and before long, Leafy Gains was born. After our third lockdown, things really took off—we began selling in stores across the Maritimes. Eventually, I left my full-time job to chase this dream full-time.

Today, Leafy Gains is rooted in that same passion: creating plant-based protein cookies that are soft, satisfying, and anything but chalky. What started in a home kitchen is now a growing Canadian brand on a mission—to make protein-packed snacks that taste amazing and support your goals.

Welcome to Leafy Gains. Whether you're here for the cookies or the community, we're so glad you're with us.
