Here at Snap, we’re all about transparency, food quality, and nutrient-density. Today, our lead RD Sam is breaking down the pillars behind our food and mission and some of our favorite ingredients!
Our Nutritional Food Pillars
Mindful eating – we’re all about ditching food rules and eating what makes you feel good instead. We love empowering our customers see how they feel eating real, whole foods.
Leafy greens – We can pretty much all agree that eating more veggies is a good thing, but leafy greens help take it to the next level. They’re essential for gut health and they provide a string of essential nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and calcium. That’s why we incorporate greens like spinach and kale into our meals.
Starchy veggies – Just like leafy greens, starchy veggies offer an awesome array of nutrients. Plus, they are a great source of nourishing carbohydrates. They also provide nutrients like potassium, magnesium, vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber, which all work to help you feel your best. That’s why we include veggies like sweet potato, butternut squash, golden beets, zucchini, and carrots in our meals.
Healthy fats – Healthy fats are essential for brain health, mitochondrial function, and so much more. That’s why we include things like extra virgin olive oil, ghee, coconut oil, and nuts and seeds in every dish. Not all fats are created equal, either, which is why we avoid pro-inflammatory fats like soy and corn oil in our products.
Colorful food – We’re sure you’ve heard about “eating the rainbow”. That’s because different colored fruits and veggies provide different phytonutrients, antioxidants, polyphenols, and more. Eating a variety of plant foods ensures you get a variety of these beneficial plant compounds.
Superfoods – We like to simplify the concept of superfoods. It’s less about the latest craze and more about getting back to basics. Great superfoods include beef for omega-3 fats and CLA, ghee for vitamin K, eggs for choline and selenium, and collagen for gut-healing protein.
High-quality protein – Protein helps your body to build and repair tissues. It’s an essential building block for bones, muscle, cartilage and skin and also helps make enzymes, hormones, and more. It’s vital to a healthy body, which is why we source high-quality animal proteins like beef and bison.
Ingredient list > nutrition facts – Ingredients reign supreme. Gone are the days of counting every calorie or prioritizing low fat, processed food over the real stuff. Move over 100-calorie packs!
Functional foods – Functional foods help promote optimal health and reduce the risk of disease. We love using foods like salmon, nuts and seeds, ghee, and coconut to help you be your best self.
House-made sauces – We make all of our sauces in-house because we think that’s the way it should be. Our cooks start with whole ingredients and turn them into dreamy sauce and dressing combinations on a daily basis. We think sauces really elevate the flavor and nutrition of your plate, so we love using them.

Kale – Kale is touted as a superfood, and for good reason! It’s chock-full of nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, manganese, calcium, copper, and magnesium. It’s also loaded with powerful antioxidants. Want to feel your best? Kale and other leafy greens will help you get there.
Eggs – We’re all about this superfood. Eggs are considered one of nature’s perfect foods largely because of the wide arrange of nutrients, plus bioavailable protein, that they provide.
Nuts – Nuts and seeds are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and protein, along with plenty of other micronutrients. We love using almonds to crust our chicken and fish or pine nuts as a garnish. Just another way we help boost the nutrient density of our food.
Coconut oil – Coconut oil is a great source of healthy fats, including brain-boosting medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).
Beets – This root veggie packs a whole ‘lotta goodness, from powerful antioxidants to vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber.
Cauliflower – This veggie is getting its time in the sun, with everything from cauliflower mash to rice to pizza crust gracing menus everywhere. Cauliflower is rich in sulforaphane, which has been shown to fight against certain types of cancer, may help reduce high blood pressure, supports the liver and kidneys.
Turmeric – Turmeric contains curcumin, known for it’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin has also been linked to improved brain function and may help prevent cancer.
Beef – Beef is a great source of B vitamins, iron, zinc and highly bioavailable protein, making it a superfood in our book.
Fresh herbs – We’re all about using super fresh herbs and spices. It’s why we make sauces like our dill cream sauce in-house with fresh parsley and dill. Parsley helps improve immune health and can reduce inflammation while dill is a good source of vitamins A and C and is a potent antioxidant.
Sweet potato – This versatile root veggie is a nourishing carbohydrate source that can be used in so many different ways, from sweet potato wedges to mash. Since it’s rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and magnesium it boasts a powerful health punch too.
Pumpkin seeds – Rich in protein, magnesium, and zinc, these little seeds are great for boosting the nutrient-density of your meals. Not to mention they contain healthy fats and fiber to help keep you full.
Quinoa – Quinoa is one of very few plant foods that’s a complete protein. This means it’s a great option for vegetarians and vegans. Plus, it provides fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, potassium, and more.
