Our values

Simplicity as a response to reality

Let’s be real. Most of our fridges aren’t always overflowing and full of color like they are on TV, and we can’t always find an endless variety of ingredients to cook with. And honestly, many other situations in life mirror this same experience. Because hello! Life’s not perfect, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to create something amazing out of what we do have on hand.

That’s why we try to empathize with your true daily life in the kitchen. We don’t give you ideas that mirror the pretend universe where your pantry is just overflowing with unlimited options, but rather from the reality that all we really need when it comes to healthy eating is easy and agile solutions. Not 16 ingredient pasta salads…

Eating well without feeling bad

We believe in the freedom to forge your own path to being well. And yes, we support eating, cooking, and enjoying tasty, nutrition packed food that supports your mind and body to do so. But not through diets or guilt-driven fads.

We don’t indoctrinate and we don’t criticize. Instead, we’re on a mission to give you the tools and guidance to find the balance that works for you. This means that while we do ask that you join us in creating healthy nutrition, movement, and mindfulness habits, the goals and expectations you set are for you, and just for you.

Sustainability as a result of small actions

We believe that to be well, you must first be well with yourself and your environment.

And by “your environment”, we don’t mean the Rainforest or the Ocean. We’re talking about what surrounds you in your daily life – what small things you can do that make a difference. Therefore, our commitment is to act on the everyday little things. Because we believe that the strongest and most lasting commitment is the one that is easy to fulfill, the one that becomes a daily habit.

Making your life tasty

This isn’t just about nurturing our body with healthy foods, but also about living with our eyes open, discovering new challenges, about being surprised and having fun, and about insatiable curiosity.

We want to feed you with knowledge, with new options, new challenges… In short, we want you to open your world and to create a new way of being well: whatever works for you.
