15 Women-Owned Food Brands to Shop Beyond March

When Jennifer Ross was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 6, the search for a zero-sugar beverage that tasted good officially began. In 2015, Ross decided to take things into her own hands with the help of her best friend and Cuban-American mother of three, Cristina Ros Blankfein. Swoon was born when the two reimagined classic drinks like lemonade and iced tea with plant-based ingredients, no artificial additives, and, of course, zero sugar.

However, the clean ingredients aren't the only reason Ross and Blankfein's drinks are so swoon-worthy. For every case of Swoon Lemonade ($30 for a 12-pack), the company also donates one can to the Boys and Girls Club of Madison Square to support healthy eating in their clubhouses and food pantries.
