Joydays

Joydays’ mission, driven by founder Amy Cohn’s personal health journey, is to revolutionize the food industry by offering delicious, accessible snacks that support blood sugar balance and foster positive habit changes without stigmatizing consumers. We are witnessing a major shift in the food landscape, focusing more on specific health and medical concerns rather than general “healthy” options. Chronic conditions affect a vast majority of the population, yet contemporary brands often overlook these market segments. Notably, 51% of the US population has prediabetes or diabetes, with a 95% increase in Type 2 Diabetes among youth in the past 15 years. In food deserts, convenient, blood sugar-friendly snacks are scarce, forcing people to choose indulgent options. With about 20% of meals consumed in cars, there’s a need for better on-the-go choices. Inspired by insights from 3000 individuals with diabetes, Joydays collaborates with dieticians, doctors, and chefs to create snacks that don’t spike blood sugar.
