The beginnings of Drink Nature

My journey with protein began out of personal need. As an athlete and heavy user of protein powders, I was always looking for the best product to support my active lifestyle. However, due to my lactose intolerance, whey protein isolate started causing digestive and skin problems.

​

While searching for an alternative, I discovered that many products on the market didn't meet my expectations. Pea protein powders, for example, were often too sweet, with the taste of peas masked by artificial flavors and sweeteners. Furthermore, I was concerned about the lack of transparency in the food industry, never truly knowing what these products contained. My desire for a more natural and eco-friendly alternative grew. I wanted to develop a product that was not only good for my health but also environmentally conscious, aligned with my personal values. That's when the idea for Incekt Protein was born.

​

While exploring different options, I discovered insect protein, particularly cricket protein. Not only is it extremely nutritious, but it also has a much lower environmental impact compared to traditional protein sources. Crickets require fewer resources to produce and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Drink Nature was born from this vision : to offer a healthy, sustainable, and transparent protein alternative. We are committed to using only natural ingredients and to being transparent about the composition of our products. Our mission is to promote insect protein as a viable solution for a healthier and more planet-friendly food future.

With Drink Nature, I want to help consumers discover the many benefits of insect and plant-based proteins to adopt a more sustainable diet. Drink Nature products are designed to support an active and balanced lifestyle while contributing to the preservation of our environment. I am proud to offer a solution that meets not only my own needs but also those of many others seeking complete and eco-friendly nutrition.

Emmy Dumais, founder

I am Emmy Dumais, a native of Dolbeau-Mistassini, an agricultural town north of Lac Saint-Jean. The family dairy farm, where my grandparents, uncle, and aunt still work today, with its more than 400 cows, shaped my childhood. The long days of work, the care for the animals, and my grandfather's passion for farming instilled in me from a very young age a sense of dedication and perseverance.


My entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 5 when I organized a garage sale to raise money so my father, who worked far from home, could stay with us. Inspired by the show "Dragon's Den," I developed an early interest in business. However, my school years were marked by bullying and anxiety, leading me to seek refuge in fitness and personal development to overcome these challenges.


At 17, I launched Shape Up online, offering training and nutrition programs. Although promising, I had to put this project on hold to pursue my studies in physiotherapy technology. Despite this, my entrepreneurial spirit remained strong. Consequently, I decided to leave CEGEP to begin my massage therapy training and become self-employed in a clinic. During my massage therapy training, I discovered the benefits of insects as a sustainable protein source, reigniting my interest in entrepreneurship.

Today, as head of Incekt Proteins Inc., whose trademark is Drink Nature, I strive to raise awareness about the importance of healthy eating and a balanced lifestyle. For me, change is possible by taking a gradual approach and making progressive adjustments to our lifestyles.

If each individual commits to making these small changes, we will be able to create significant changes, together.


With pleasure, Emmy!
