Premium meal provider VitaBowl has announced the launch of their Nutritionist and Michelin-Chef designed plant-based superfood bowls through its new partner Territory Foods. Territory Foods offers consumers a highly customizable menu of chef-made, nutrient-rich meals, delivered fresh and is perfectly aligned with VitaBowl’s mission and dedication to providing the highest quality foods for individuals with busy lifestyles.

“We are thrilled to announce this new milestone at VitaBowl!” states Charles Michael Yim, VitaBowl’s CEO & Co-Founder. “The strength and value of a partnership with Territory Foods, alongside the additional funding, supports VitaBowl’s efforts in bringing the concept of Food Is Medicine to all channels as a platform as we continue to expand nationwide. We have made it our mission to establish ourselves as the golden standard of plant-based options for those looking to take control of their health and their life.”

“Territory is proud to help amplify the mission of VitaBowls by reaching customers in California and beyond through our unique tech-enabled chef-to-consumer platform,” says Ellis McCue, Territory Foods’s CEO. “We love partnering with VitaBowls, whose company mission is in great alignment with ours, of healing the body through functional foods.”

For the launch, three of VitaBowl’s most popular offerings – the Latin inspired Balance Bowl, the Mediterranean style Rejuvenate bowl, and the Indian designed Nourish bowl – are available to order now for delivery. Each bowl has been crafted with the highest quality, locally sourced, plant-based ingredients and has been scientifically designed to provide the most nutritional benefit to your body. The three VitaBowl selections mentioned above are available for consumers to purchase via the direct site at www.territoryfoods.com and the full five selections are available direct via the Chef Sampler Set on VitaBowl’s website www.vitabowl.com. Territories covered are Los Angeles, including all Southern California counties as far south as San Diego County, including the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Balance Bowl, a perfect complement to this unpredictable year, is a flavorful, nutritional powerhouse. Created by the world-renowned, first female 3-Star Michelin Chef in the United States, Dominique Crenn, and Chief Nutritionist Sarah Brandow, MSC, this bowl is a plant-powered take on traditional Latin flavors. The Balance Bowl features jackfruit, black beans, cabbage, chopped garlic, jalapenos, fresh cilantro, and chipotle cashew crema. It is designed to help bring balance to the body with a boost of key vitamins, minerals, and protein. Albeit a mild winter season in California, the Balance Bowl is a great addition to your health routine adding an excellent source of vitamin C, calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamin A.

“Joining forces with Territory Foods is a dream come true for VitaBowl,” shares Co-Founder & Head of Culinary Council at VitaBowl, Chef Dominique Crenn. “We designed our meals with the intention to bring nutritious and flavor-filled meals to all. And this partnership with TF will help us do just that. Look out USA. A healthy you is a healthy planet, and a healthy humanity.”

The Rejuvenate Bowl is an innovative take on the Mediterranean diet, with sprouted lentil and flax seed falafels, fresh herbs, proprietary plant-based tzatziki sauce, kalamata olives, sweet potato, fresh greens, and a quinoa tabbouleh base. Excellent source of important micronutrients for energy production, immune function, bone health, and metabolism. This bowl is rich in nutrients that many people need to get more of- such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc, plus your full daily requirement of brain and heart-boosting omega 3s. Lastly, the Nourish Bowl is a fresh take on Indian palate openers including ingredients high in fiber for blood sugar balance, rich in B vitamins for energy and cellular health, and a good source of omega 3 fatty acids for skin, brain, and heart health. Some notable investors that came in to help VitaBowl close an oversubscribed seed round of $1.5M, include: America’s Healthy Heart Doc, Dr. Joel Kahn; RightRice, Founder & CEO + Founder & Former CEO of Popchips, Keith Belling; Omakase Capital; Jay Thomson of Murano Group; and UCLA Cardiologist, Jeff Hsu, MD, PhD.
