Stellar Eats

Food |
From a young age, our founding female team noticed that we were inundated with damaging messages that told us the purpose of eating nourishing foods was to look a certain way. We felt overwhelmed by the healthy products being marketed to us as 'skinny', 'guilt-free', 'flat-tummy' or other words that make healthy eating all about how you look. This focus on appearance is so detrimental to the impressionable young population. We want to change the conversation around health food to make it empowering as opposed to guilt-driven and we believe there’s an opportunity for brands like us to rewrite this damaging narrative. We’re creating delicious flavour and perfect texture using 8 (or less) real food ingredients because we want you to enjoy your favourite foods and feel amazing. |

Sweet Nothings
|
Snacks |
The story of Sweet Nothings starts with our founder, Beth Porter, finding herself in a classic situation: trying to feed her family healthy snacks they’ll actually eat. On her journey to find plant-based, palate-pleasing perfection, she discovered that smoothies were a hit with all ages but blending up batches that were delicious and nutritious was a lot more prep work and cleanup than she had time for. One day, as she opened the freezer door and the light flickered on to greet her, she had a lightbulb moment of her own. Frozen. Spoonable. Smoothies. She could pack all the fresh fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds she wanted into a smoothie, then freeze it for a delightfully simple snack time for herself, her kids, or any hungry person. They were an instant favorite in her household, and they’re sure to be one in yours too. From that quest to make a better bite to eat, Sweet Nothings was born. We were founded on a belief that everyone should be able to eat in a way that’s tasty, wholesome, and convenient. That’s why we don’t just make snacks for kids or busy parents, we make great food for everyone. From our Spoonable Smoothies, to our Superfood Nut Butter Bites and Squeezable Smoothies, we’re committed to making it easy to eat more of what you need and less of what you don’t.

Dairy Alternatives |
From Dec 4th-15th, we’re going to hide a box ✨🎁✨ full of incredible food gifts from over 30 food friends and partners, in 12 cities across the United States. Join our cult and enjoy discounts on a subscription service that will have our yogurts delivered fresh to your door. Our coconut yogurt is unlike anything else and probably the most powerfully probiotic food you've ever had. We small batch ferment 800 billion highly active probiotics into every quart, creating an insanely probiotic coconut yogurt. We make all of our yogurts in artisanal, small batches. This means there is some variability in texture and consistency, especially when the yogurts are shaken during shipping. Sometimes, the cream at the top gets mixed with the fermented coconut water at the bottom, which can also change the texture. Other times the thicker portion at the top can seem chunky or fluffy. This is totally normal, and your yogurt still has all of the super probiotic benefits your body loves! If you want, you can stir it up or let it settle out to modify texture. Our coconut yogurts are plant-based instead of dairy-based so they will last for 8 weeks unopened. Once opened, if you take care of it, it will take care of you! Seal the jar tightly, don’t double dip, keep other food particles out of the jar, keep it in the fridge, and it should last for 3 weeks. The Coconut Cult specializes in coconut yogurt that is rich in probiotics and promotes gut health. The Coconut Cult is known for its rich, creamy coconut yogurt that is high in probiotics, offering a delicious and healthy snack option. |

Yai's Thai
 |
Food Products |
Hi! We’re Leland and Sarah, and we’re so happy you found Yai’s! We created Yai’s Thai shortly out of college to build something together that we truly believe in. We’re passionate about changing how people think of and experience healthy eating, and wanted to improve the options available at stores. Naturally, we turned to the recipes we knew best! Leland’s half-Thai heritage lead us to a lot of Thai cooking in our own kitchen, and also lead us to our name - “Yai” is the Thai word for “grandma” (and is pronounced to rhyme with “Thai”). Our products all started in our home kitchen, where we whipped up trial batches with carefully selected ingredients, and many-a-phone-call with Leland’s mom until we had achieved the perfect balance. We firmly believe there’s no reason for so many unhealthy products to persist, but also that healthy alternatives shouldn’t have to compromise on flavor. We want to create products that taste amazing. Full stop. Not “oh it’s good for a special diet product.” We aim for “this is delicious, oh and it’s also [fill in special diet here].” Many of our sauces are Whole30 Approved, as well as paleo friendly, gluten free, vegan, and low sodium, so you can eat your heart out knowing your sauce is just there to bring the flavor! Since authentic Thai ingredients naturally have such bold flavors, we made a commitment to let these flavors shine without adding any junk, and to do so with products that are easy for anyone to use at home, without having to follow long recipes and gather obscure ingredients (galangal anyone?). Thai food is delicious, and we want you to be able to enjoy it regardless of your dietary preferences and cooking skills! #justaddyais We’re so excited to share our recipes with you! |
