Our Story

Primal Sweets protein marshmallows were created by Isabel McNeill and Dan Ferriell as a convenient, nostalgic, and delicious way to increase their protein intake and minimize empty calorie snacking.

After they learned most people should consume at least 100 grams of protein per day, Isabel and Dan were determined to create a solution that not only satisfied cravings but met protein goals.

There's nothing more satisfying than having a roasted marshmallow with zero guilt and 100% satisfaction after a long hike.

Isabel and Dan like to spend their free time outside. Isabel and Dan have hiked over 50 trails around the Pacific Northwest. Some of their favorite ones include Lake Culchuck/The Enchantments, Mount Vesper, Ptarmigan Trail at Mount Baker, Heliotrope at Mount Baker, Mount Saint Helen Ridge Trail, Skyline Trail at Mount Rainier, and The North Cascade Pass Trail.
