Who we are

Hi, I’m 13 years old, and I started MeerKat Ice with a simple idea.

Growing up, my family always chose organic and non-GMO food. It tasted just as good — just healthier. But when I wanted a snow cone during the hot Nevada summer, my mom would usually say no because of the artificial dyes and unhealthy ingredients.

So I made a promise to myself:

One day, I would create a healthy alternative to traditional shaved ice.

That’s how MeerKat Ice was born.

With help from my family and my “meerkat besties,” we built a mobile shaved ice cart that serves kids and families throughout Reno, Nevada and surrounding areas with a better summer treat.

We proudly serve:

Organic fruit syrups

Non-GMO ingredients

No artificial dyes

Fully biodegradable cups and flatware

Kid-friendly, parent-approved shaved ice

MeerKat Ice is a family-owned mobile shaved ice cart in Reno, NV, available for birthday parties, school events, sports tournaments, festivals, and community gatherings.

We believe summer treats should be fun, colorful, and exciting — without sacrificing health or the environment.

Now when your mom says no to artificial snow cones…

You can say yes to a healthy alternative.
