Intention
At Intentional Food Intentional Fuel Meal Preps we're on a mission to bring mindfulness back into eating. Our goal is to educate customers on what they're eating, why it's good for them, and how to make informed decisions when choosing food. Eating healthy CAN and SHOULD taste GREAT! That's why we only use the freshest and most nutrient dense ingredients in all our dishes. Every ingredient has intention behind it. We source locally for produce ensuring to support our local ranchers and farmers first! The culinary culture here in Hawaii is undeniably unique. This is the inspiration for many flavors you'll taste when eating with us. Focusing on the SCIENCE behind eating a low glycemic style pathway, we highlight many local fruits, and vegetables signature to our pacific island home.
Philosophy
As foodies we love celebrating flavors, textures, and array of colors when creating dishes. Our goal is to highlight these values making every prep a dance for your taste buds. Flavor is paramount in our approach. All ingredients are simple, natural and closes to its original source. Intentional eating takes time to learn. That's why we take a hands-on educational approach with every meal purchased. We want our customers to understand why nutrient dense foods are the best option in preventing chronic illness, promoting longevity, and overall health and wellness.
