Why We Started Cooking Our Own Mac & Cheese
Like most parents, we wanted easy and comfortable meals our kids would actually eat. With Mac and cheese being their favorite, most of the options, even the organic ones were filled with stuff we did not feel great about. Gums, preservatives, flavors that were not real, and ingredients we could not pronounce.
The Start of Mac Goodness
Since the summer of 2023, we tried dozens of recipes and tested countless combinations. We sourced the best organic ingredients we could find, experimented with different pastas, and explored everything from veggies to superfoods.
Along the way, we learned that not every “superfood” is right for kids. Some are hard to digest, some are not good in larger quantities, and too strong in taste.
Our kids were the final taste testers. If they did not finish their plate, it did not make the cut.
Our son loves "Green" Mac & Cheese for school!
But "Chocolate" is his favorite.
Flavor with a Purpose
Our very first flavor was inspired by our son’s love of chocolate. That search led us to roasted carob, a naturally sweet, chocolate-like superfood that’s caffeine free and kid friendly.As parents, we wanted every flavor to serve a purpose: carrots for natural sweetness, spinach for greens, and cheddar for the comfort of a classic.
Every flavor starts with the same promise. Just a few certified organic ingredients that are good for growing bodies and great to eat.
Looking ahead, we are always exploring new flavors and ingredients that are safe for kids and loved by families. Stay tuned, more goodness is on the way!
