Have you ever returned home from a long workday to an empty refrigerator? That's when most of us might pull up a delivery app and order a decadent feast that is anything but healthy. In that case, it's time to call Prudence Moe, creator of PruFoods. The local entrepreneur offers well-balanced meals that are good for you, convenient, flavorful and made with love. Even bet-ter, they are delievered right to your door fresh, every week.
Before it became a business, meal prep was a way
of life for Moe, a former health and fitness competitor.
And while she eventually walked away from the restrictive eating that came with those competitions, Moe gained an appreciation and passion for nutrition. She began offering meal prep to her friends, and the business grew from there.
"In 2019, I graduated with my mechanical engineering degree right before COVID, and I couldn't find a job," she says. Moe knew it was time to reset, so she officially launched PruFoods. "I went all in, and it took off,' she says.
The business model is simple. "Every week, we put out a new menu, and people put in their orders," she says. "I make extras in case people forget to order on time. Then, the meals go out by Saturday morning."
With less time spent on prepping and cook-ing, her clients spend more time enjoying life. While PruFoods focuses on simple, healthy food, Moe's meals are anything but dull. She is from Burma and appreciates ethnic cuisine and flavors, which she brings to every PruFoods menu. Her favorites include Jerk chicken and garlic chili shrimp; or breakfasts and snack such as peaches and cream overnight oats and sweet potato protein pancakes. Juices include the pineapple ginger shot and the spicy girl shot with lemon, ginger, cayenne and pink salt.
Moe also encourages customer requests and eschews restrictive eating for a well-balanced diet centered around a whole nutritional experience with pro-tein, fat and everything the body needs in intentional moderation.
"I don't support restrictive diets because they're not sustainable. Many people don't know about nutri-tion, so they don't know what they lack. I'm a big supporter of delicious quality food."
