Nourished to Go

My name is Brooklyn and I am the proud owner of Nourished Togo, an elevated whole foods, gluten free meal prep service that resides here in the Cowichan Valley. After going to school for clinical nutrition for over 3 years I felt there was a huge gap in helping people achieve optimal health through food. So many people desire to eat well and fuel their body however they either don’t have the time or knowledge to do so. Nourished Togo provides ready to enjoy meals that are fully cooked and ready for your day! All you have to do is select your meal options, pick up your package, heat your food and enjoy the benefits!

As a recipe developer for more than 6 years I was inspired to provide people with healthy meal options that never compromise flavour and nutrients. We deliver a new menu every week from asian dishes to Moroccan buddha bowls!

I started my meal prep business in 2020 and it grew right away! I was so pleased when I learned of the Cowichan Food Innovation Program by Economic Development Cowichan and Spring Activator, as I felt it would be so helpful in learning how to expand effectively and sustainably. The program supported me as a new food production business in many ways.

I grew up in Shawnigan Lake and the Cowichan Valley is my home. I want to bring holistic, modern, elevated and convenient food to the valley and the people who live here. The valley has so many amazing farmers and producers that can be utilized in providing local, nutrient dense food options. As a business here I feel there is so much opportunity for collaboration and to boost the Cowichan economy by supporting what is offered here.

One of our customer favourites is our fire roasted yellow curry served with coconut rice and topped with mango and roasted cashews! It brings digestive spices and a warming heat to keep you toasty during these chilly fall days. It is fully vegan, dairy free and gluten free but so incredibly comforting. You can find our weekly menu on our website www.nourishedtogo.ca and you can also see photos of all of our meals at @nourishedtogo on instagram and facebook. We share all our health tips and recipes on instagram at @ nourishedbyb

Brooklyn will be opening up a grab and go health food cafe in Cowichan Bay early in 2022. We cannot wait to be able to offer all of our elixirs, goodies, broths, ferments and grab and go meals every day in our cafe! Keep your eyes posted on any of our social channels to see our grand opening early 2022.
