Founder & CEO Nicole Centeno tells her story: "I launched Splendid Spoon with the idea that one simple change every day could improve my relationship with food. A humble bowl of soup, made with whole, clean ingredients just like my mom used to make, was my grounding point every afternoon. I started the business by bringing this simple soup-centric habit to my customers, and have expanded to include many additional meal formats.
I have taught cooking classes at Columbia University, written a cookbook, created mindful eating workshops, hosted cooking videos online, and interviewed countless nutritionists, registered dietitians, and physicians. I have also read every comment, review, cancellation reason, and product request from thousands of Splendid Spoon customers to continue to research and improve our offerings.
We all have our own history with food. In today’s oversaturated wellness market and achievement-driven society, those food histories often collide with the pressure to look a certain way or practice the “right” amount of self-care. We rarely meet our own expectations in this regard, and food wellness remains unnecessarily complicated and stressful. This is why Splendid Spoon exists. I created our meal program to be a self-care package during the week, so our minds and bodies could feel stronger, more peaceful, and more resilient during the ups and downs of a busy, modern life. My hope is that our ready-to-eat, plant-based meal plans will help you reconnect to the power of good food, whatever your health goals may be.”
