Urban Remedy Organic Salads, Bowls and Cold-Pressed Juices
We tend to do a lot of traveling during the summer months, which doesn’t always lend itself to maintaining our usual standards when it comes to diet and exercise. Luckily, fall is the perfect time to recommit to our wellness goals an focus on creating healthier habits — after all, if there’s one thing that the changing leaves of autumn shows is it’s that change is beautiful. And organic food company Urban Remedy is here to help you eat the rainbow!
Founded by Neka Pasquale in 2009, Urban Remedy is built on the philosophy that food is healing, offering freshly prepared meals, grain bowls, plant-based protein bars, and cold-pressed juices that are organic, non-GMO, and contain no gluten, dairy or refined sugar, thereby supporting an anti-inflammatory diet. All of Urban Remedy’s food is sustainably made in small batches using organic ingredients sourced from local farms, showing the brand’s commitment to complete ingredient transparency, prioritizing freshness of ingredients, and supporting sustainable practices.
Urban Remedy’s best-selling item, its plant-based Macro Bowl, makes for a tasty lunch option. The gluten-free quinoa bowl features roasted sweet potatoes and pumpkin seeds (both staples for any great harvest bowl!), alongside kale, beets, cumin, and chickpea croutons. Packing 17 grams of protein, the Macro Bowl beautifully combines flavors and textures for a wholly satisfying meal.
Urban Remedy also offers cold-pressed juices, functional wellness shots, low-glycemic lemonades and protein shakes. After a strenuous workout, pick up the dairy-free Protein Collagen Shake (available in Vanilla and Chocolate), which contains 30 grams of protein — including 10 grams of grass-fed bovine collagen. By combining protein and collagen, this shake promotes muscle recovery while also supporting healthy joints, hair, nails and skin.
And since cold season is upon us, you’ll want to check out the sweet yet spicy Turmeric Relieve Shot, which combines pineapple juice with turmeric and cayenne to promote circulation and support the immune system.
