Meet Our Founders
Hello, we're Ali and Emily, the mother daughter duo behind Pow Food. Coming from backgrounds in luxury hospitality and catering, we started Pow Food in 2017 with a mission to provide nutritionally designed, sustainable food to workplaces and events.
Over lockdown, we decided to take our our committed approach to quality, nutrition and sustainability, and develop a chef prepped home delivery meal service, Pow At Home, that exceeded any other on the market for quality and nutrition.
Our passion for flavourful, nutritious food that stands for quality comes from our own journey with nutrition and the knowledge that food can be a “preventional cure” to many health conditions. In today’s world, we have abundant access to low quality, poor convenience foods, and we don’t take enough time to nourish ourselves properly.
We have made it our mission to help our customers eat highly nutritious, high quality food that supports both people and the planet on a daily basis.
From, Ali and Emily
