Our Company
This is what business looks like when people come first
We’re not just talking about doing business differentlyโwe’re proving it every day. Here’s exactly how we walk the walk.
How we actually operate
B-Corp Certified: Values with Accountability
We’re a Certified B-Corp, which means we’re legally required to balance profit with purpose. It’s not just marketingโit’s in our company charter.
This means every major decision gets filtered through one question: “Is this good for our customers, our team, and our community?” Not just “Will this make more money?”
Like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, and Warby Parker, we believe meaningful work makes a meaningful life. But unlike them, we’re small enough that you can actually reach the founders when you need us.
Growing organically
Our Success Metric: Enthusiastic Referrals
Most companies optimize for quarterly growth. We optimize for customers who are so happy they tell their friends about us.
Why this matters for you: When your success determines our success, we’re naturally aligned with helping you get the most out of your purchaseโnot just making the sale.
Our Team Philosophy
Best Place to Work = Best Experience for You
We believe taking care of our team is how we take care of our customers. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
1-hour daily me-time: Every team member gets an hour each day for personal development, exercise, or just stepping away. Because people who take care of themselves take better care of others.
Premium pay and benefits: We pay above market rate and provide comprehensive benefits. Happy people provide better service.
Profit sharing: When the company succeeds, everyone succeeds. This means everyone is invested in your experience, not just hitting their individual numbers.
Professional development: We invest in our people’s growth because learning never stopsโwhether it’s customer service skills or the latest in nutrition science.
Our Impact
100 Meals for Every Blender
Through our partnership with No Kid Hungry, every blender purchase provides 100 meals to kids facing hunger.
The numbers:
- Over 15,000 meals provided to date
- 1 in 5 kids in America faces hungerโwe’re working to change that
- 100% of meal donations go directly to feeding programs
Why we do this: When you’re investing in your health, it feels right to help ensure kids have access to healthy food too.
Environmental Responsibility
Ground shipping by default: We use ground shipping whenever possible instead of air freight, significantly reducing our carbon footprint while still getting your order to you quickly.
Plant-based recipe focus: All our recipes and educational content promotes sustainable, plant-forward eating that’s better for you and the planet.
Minimal packaging: We work with manufacturers to minimize unnecessary packaging materials.
