Meet the mama behind GheeMe POP: Zoë Pennebaker Breen!
When Zoë—an artist, entrepreneur, and mother-of-two with a personal passion for fitness and food—founded GheeMe POP, she was on a mission to create a tasty and healthy snack that would be appealing to wellness-savvy parents, as well as snack-happy kiddos.
As an artist based in East Hampton, NY, and raising her two energetic sons, Zoë has always known the feeling of living a life full of energy and movement—her paintings are full of dramatic swaths of motion and bold pops of color, and her growing kiddos keep her on her toes—so she also is well aware that the key to a happy, productive day is staying fueled with healthy snacks. However, a truly easy snack food that pleased both her and her sons, and didn’t fall under the “junk” or “treat” category, was tough to locate.
“I’ve always loved being active and keeping fit. As a mother of two boys—and large scale abstract artist—I found that eating a healthy and clean diet ensured me the energy each day required,” Zoë says.
And that’s where GheeMe POP comes in.
Zoë’s “ah-ha” moment came when, during a movie night, a friend brought Zoë some homemade popcorn flavored with lactose-free and casein-free ghee instead of the traditional butter or oil. Not only did Zoë happily eat a whole bag (#SoYummy!) but she found that she actually felt great after—there was none of the bloat or fatigue that often came with a junk food splurge. She knew immediately that she wanted to learn all that she could about ghee, and find a way to share the snack with others.
And when she discovered that ghee is actually a certified superfood, it only solidified her vision: “Why not provide moms, kids, dads, and teenagers with a delicious flavored superfood that also was incredibly good for them?” Zoë explains. It was the pop of inspiration she needed, and GheeMe POP—with its motto of “Yummy, Healthy, Happy one POP at a time”—was born!

At its heart, GheeMe POP is a company that’s equal parts Yummy, Healthy, and Happy!
Originally crafted as a healthier alternative to butter-drenched popcorn snacks, GheeMe POP fuses the wellness power of ghee (a nutrient-rich superfood, free of lactose, caseins, and dairy—essentially butter without the milk solids) and the universally beloved taste and texture of popcorn to offer a snack that’s packed with vitamins, minerals, and proteins.
Available now in three oh-so-tasty flavors (OriginalPOP, TrufflePOP, and HoneyPOP), GheeMe POP is your ticket to snacking without fear of bloating or tummy troubles—making it the perfect pick for playdates, and whatever else life brings your way! Kids love the buttery flavor and satisfying crunch, while fitness-savvy moms and dads delight in the fact that it promotes strong bones, natural weight control, and a robust immune system.
Plus, GheeMe POP uses all organic ingredients—from ghee only from grass-fed cows, to non-GMO organic corn. Using organic ingredients is not only healthier for consumers, but it’s also healthier for the world that we live in. It’s a snack you can feel great about eating on every level, from the taste and feel, to the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
GheeMe POP truly is Yummy, Healthy, Happy—one POP at a time!
