Pokimane introduces healthy cookie line

Olivia Richman Published 13/11/2023

Twitch star turned influencer Imane “Pokimane” Anys has announced a healthy snack brand after facing a major health scare in her life.

Myna is a heathy snack brand founded by Pokimane and Darcey Macken. When it was launched, Pokimane explained that she met Macken in January and the two discussed a healthy snack line that would still be tasty while not being harmful.

The first Myna product is called Midnight Mini, cookies made with natural ingredients and no added preservatives. These cookies are described as “deep chocolate” with white chips and sea salt. Check them out here.

What happened to Pokimane?

Pokimane created Myna due to some health issues she faced. But what exactly happened?

In an interview with USA Today, Pokimane explained: “The food I was eating took a toll on my health. I went on a health journey in 2021 and realized there aren’t many good food options. If I wanted a good-tasting snack, it would be filled with unhealthy stuff. If I found something healthy, it would taste nasty.”

It’s unclear what health issues came up due to her diet but in the past, Pokimane has dealt with other issues like tinnitus.
