About Us
100% scratch-made goodness. Without any of the guilt.
They say it takes a village. We say it takes a kitchen – and a lil’ bit of fun. Based in California’s sunny Santa Monica, Citizen Sprout is all about creating simple, fresh, wholesome, homemade meals and snacks for families and individuals who want to eat well, to feed the body and the soul.
With a focus on healthy, nutritious, oh-so-tasty food that tastes as good as it looks, we’re founded on the idea: Honest, healthy, tasty food shouldn’t be complicated.
All the flavor without any of the nasties; that’s our promise.
Our aim is simple:
We want to bring back the fundamentals of eating well by celebrating whole, fresh, healthful food. Whether stopping by our store is plan A or plan B for your morning bite, your kids’ lunch, or the whole family for dinner, we make sure you never have to sacrifice for the sake of getting a meal with merit.
From the chef
As a parent, I know what an undertaking it is to prepare healthy meals for your child day in and day out.
Citizen Sprout allows me to share the joy I felt trying new dishes when I was young. I’ve tailored our menus to make meal time as stress-free as possible by composing dishes you and your child will love and love eating.
Sharing my joy through food
My dad has always been an impassioned cook. He loves testing new dishes and recipes from different cultures for the family to try. Ever since I was a little sprout myself, he instilled in me an affection for food and the process of preparing meals. Along with this, he gave me a love for all the complex flavors and dishes from around the world. He always had something vibrant to fill the belly, and I’ve vowed to pass that along.
I started this company to help busy parents expose their children to the countless delicious and diverse foods of the world so they can grow up to be curious, healthy eaters! I’m able to tailor our Citizen Sprout menus to make mealtime as quick, stress-free, nutritious, and tasty as possible.
Eating together is a surefire way to cultivate smart mealtime habits early on. I believe by taking the pressure off of preparing a meal, I’m giving you and your family that time to simply sit and eat together. This is my heart’s mission and goal with Citizen Sprout. I’m so excited to share my cooking with you and your family!
