But in just a couple of days, South Floridians will be able to change those habits when Sakara Life expands its presence in Miami November 1 with the launch of its organic, plant-based meal-delivery service that Victoria's Secret models such as Lily Aldridge and Erin Heatherton and celebrities like Iman, Lena Dunham, and Kate Mara swear by.
Sakara, meaning “with form” in Sanskrit, was founded in 2011 by Whitney Tingle and Danielle Duboise, childhood friends who grew up together in Sedona, Arizona, a wellness haven, as Tingle calls it. After making their way to New York City, Tingle, a former banker at Merrill Lynch, and Duboise, a former

Through the use of fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients that are gluten-free, plant-based, dairy-free, and sourced locally whenever possible, their goal, more than anything, is to support clients in their health and spiritual transformation and help them feel good in their bodies, Duboise says.

As far as we know, there really isn’t a product that’s out there to meet this niche for people looking for meal delivery that provides these benefits, so we’re really excited to bring it.”

So whether you are new to the clean-eating game or simply don’t have time to prepare these Instagram-worthy superfood meals, Tingle believes food should make you feel sexy, and Sakara Life does just that, she says.
“There’s oftentimes a challenge with food and an anxiety about what to eat every day,” she says. “It’s not only about getting rid of that anxiety but knowing what you’re putting in your body is really fueling you and is nutritionally designed, giving you the right nutrients to help you tackle what you need to tackle. It’s knowing what you’re eating and knowing it will make you feel good.”
