The Health Problem

More people in the US every day are diagnosed with lifestyle related illnesses.  This includes obesity, diabetes, and heart disease which is the leading killer in the US.  People are aware that this is happening, but all too often are fooled into rationalizing the diagnosis as something completely separate from their health choices.  Nonetheless, people say that they want to be given healthy options, and they don't want to sacrifice pleasing their taste buds.  So, how can we create healthy foods that taste great too?  Well, no surprise, turn no further than the wonderful world of plants that come to the rescue - literally.  Enter Euphebe, a plant based meal delivery program who's mission it is to "change how America eats."

The Health Solution

When we first sat down with Nadja Pinnavaia, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Euphebe, we were blown away by her diverse background and her journey toward veganism.  A former Wall Street sales trader with a Ph.D. in Quantum Chemistry, Nadia has always been one to trust her gut and beat to her own drum.  Having witnessed several family members suffer with illness, she learned about the healing power of a plant based diet.  She knew she had to create a solution to combat the health crisis, and thus was born Euphebe.

More than just a meal delivery service, Euphebe takes count of your stats too and will track over their 28-day meal plan program your cholesterol levels, weight, waistline and more.  Euphebe also has a 24-hour hotline for their customers, and access to the best thinking from their in-house Nutrition Coach, Executive Chef, Medical Advisor, and other helpful resources.

We talk to many people who think you have to sacrifice taste in order to go vegan.  As if going vegan were some form of self deprivation.  This couldn't be further from the truth.  In fact, going vegan opened our minds to the incredible variety of plant based options that can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime, and always make us feel good.  So if your're one of the people who are interested in going plant based, enjoy tracking your stats, or  just want to enjoy some amazing dishes, consider Euphebe's E28-day meal plan program - you're guaranteed to feel better, get healthier, and enjoy delicious plant based food.
