What our customers say

This was a tasty dish and I did not miss the usual cheese that is packed between "regular Lasagna". Had the rest for lunch the next day and I liked it hot or cold. Nice large serving for $8.

This pie is delicious. The crust is crispy and holds the pie together very nicely. The filling is creamy, subtle, and sweet. I ate it cold and it was great. Could probably also be eaten frozen. The topping is soft and the coconut flakes really give it a great flavor. Mmmmmm...

Our plant-based household loves this substantial combo item; I order it every time. My muscle-man loves it for the caloric density and fresh herbs.

Meet the Chef

In September 2007, Ramses Bravo became Executive Chef for True North Health. "I didn't really know what to expect. The concept of cooking without salt, sugar, oil and flour was very strange and foreign to me." He has been here for three years now creating and developing delicious vegan cuisine using simple flavors and textures which compliment each other. Although this is a challenging mission he enjoys and embraces every day at True North. "My love for eating and cooking hasn't changed. It has simply been pointed in a much healthier direction and I'm thankful for it."

The Food

We use only whole natural foods including fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and beans and raw nuts and seeds all prepared in our clean, modern commercial kitchen. We avoid all animal products including meat, fish, fowl, eggs and dairy products, as well as added oil, salt or sugar. With the exception of a few carefully labeled exceptions we also avoid the use of wheat, rye, peanuts and all added chemical preservatives, coloring, msg, etc.

Adjusting to the Diet

Allowing the body to adjust to a truly health promoting diet can be a challenge. Most people are addicted to the artificial stimulation of highly processed, calorically dense, heavily oiled and salted foods. Adjusting to a healthier way of eating is a transition that can takes weeks or months. The most difficult challenge for most is adjusting to the dramatically reduced quantities of salt. Our goal is to limit sodium to less than 1 mg of sodium per calorie and we do not add any salt to our foods. For more about the TrueNorth health diet,
