Wholesome Indulgence - Carissa's Healthy Macaron Recipe

With my MBA in Organizational Development and extensive education in holistic health as a Certified Health Coach,  I find joy being a content creator and helping my community by sharing whole food ingredient based recipes that have no that are anti-inflammatory, no refined sugar, and gluten free. 

This assists Individuals to take care of their overall health and to protect ones they love the most by consuming nutrient dense food.

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was exposed to a tsunami of different cultures of food that inspired me to create healthier alternatives without sacrificing taste. I worked in management as a financial planner. My long term goals are to continue to share recipes as a content creator and have my own line of food and health and wellness practice! 

A bento box to me is a homemade meal or snacks brought on the go, perfect for anyone with busy schedules and trying to eat a more healthy lifestyle. 

Personally, I like to  pack a variety of smaller meals in my bento box, so I have a mix up of flavors and textures form different foods. 

With a protective and sturdy outer shelling, my favorite aspects about Takenaka bento boxes are that they are  stylish , eco-friendly, and have many compartments to pack snacks or a meal!
