How It Works

The purpose of Balanced Bites is to supply your body with delicious, healthy meals that are BALANCED for your needs.

You are unique. You don't need or want to eat what your friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, father, sister or brother eats. You need meals that are portioned properly to satisfy you, but not over-stuff you. Maybe your body needs more protein, or maybe it needs more carbohydrates (yes, carbs!).


Why organic means diversity...
Unlike most conventional farms that plant the same crops year after year, organic farmers plant diverse crops to build natural soil fertility. Many people are so conditioned to the simple, conventional crops that pervade our supermarkets (think iceberg lettuce, broccoli, baking potatoes, packaged carrots), that they have no idea what these new, organic produce items are, let alone what to do with them.

Buying Local
Partially as a result, buying local is an increasingly growing trend, where people choose products from their own region’s producers. This helps small, family farmers survive and keeps money circulating within their own community. Small farmers also tend to grow more diverse varieties in their crop rotations, which keeps soil fertile and yields more choices for consumers.

Why eat seasonally?
It's the easiest way to eat healthfully, support local farmers, help the environment, and save money! Seasonal food usually comes from local farms, so produce is picked at its peak of ripeness and most nutrients. Less fossil fuels are required for shipping, and food passes through fewer hands, returning more profits to the actual growers. And, best of all, buying what's locally abundant is less expensive for you as well!
