As many restaurants take a much needed break this offseason, Healthy Being Organic Cafe and Coldpressed Juicery will remain open. Recently launching a new grab ‘n go food line, Healthy Being hopes to provide easily accessible plant based foods for people to cook with and enjoy at home.
It happened naturally during COVID-19. These are the foods that people were ordering in bulk and wanted to have, to eat at home. We are trying to fill that need of good quality, fresh, flavorful, plant based food, and broaden the scope of how Healthy Being can fit into people’s lives.

Now, the refrigerated case is stocked, and patrons can choose from a variety of grab ‘n go foods, like Healthy Being’s homemade cashew cheese line, fresh pesto, hummus, chimichurri, and dairy free, wheat free, desserts. Plant based cheese options include cashew cheese, cashew mac-n-cheese sauce, and cashew queso.
The mac-n-cheese sauce, a menu favorite, is the perfect plant based condiment to pour over roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables, like broccoli, adding a little extra protein and flavor to any dish. The queso, served with chips or vegetables, is Healthy Being’s version of a true Mexican queso dip. But it’s the homemade chimichurri that is one of the most versatile grab n’ go items, great for cooking with meat, vegetables, and salads.
That’s the highlight of the chimichurri. It’s just so good on everything. It’s all about finding plant based versions of foods without all of the other fillers. Ours are just real food.

All grab ‘n go items are available in eight ounce portions, with 16 ounce sizes and pre-orders available as well. Grab ‘n go items, as well as, Healthy Being menu items are homemade, fresh, daily, with a seven day shelf life, and can be frozen if needed, to last longer. So, stock your fridge with homemade sauces, sides, and desserts all made locally at Healthy Being.
Grab ‘n go also offers single servings of a variety of dairy free, wheat free desserts. The beet berry breakfast bar, made with beets, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, dates, buckwheat, oats, and almonds, is the perfect combination of texture and flavors to start your day. The lemon tart bar, made with coconut, lemon, turmeric, maple syrup, pecans, oats, and dates, can serve as breakfast, an afternoon pick me up or a healthy snack before bed. All of the cashew and coconut oil based cheesecakes are made with no processed sugars, they are smooth and rich, and come in a variety of flavors including matcha, mochaccino, chocolate mint, key lime pie and more.
The grab ‘n go line is about foods that people can take home, and do more cooking at home. We can still support them eating plant based at home.
