Hi, my name is Mayra Escobedo. I was born on July 29, 1985, and I come from a proud Hispanic family where food has always been at the heart of our lives. My mom owned a restaurant, and my dad has always loved to cook—and still does to this day. Out of my four sisters, I was always the one drawn to the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes and menu ideas.

I’ve always been a foodie who loves to eat, but over time I realized the importance of eating healthier. I noticed that in my area there weren’t many options for fresh, healthy foods like protein shakes, fresh-squeezed juices, or yogurt bowls. That inspired me to start creating healthy recipes and menu ideas—things I couldn’t find anywhere else but wished I could.

Now, I’m very excited to share this new chapter of my life with you. I can’t wait to invite you to taste the fresh, healthy, and delicious creations I’ve been working on. This journey is about enjoying food that’s not only good for you but also tastes amazing, and I would love for you to be part of it!
