Meals are prepared with locally sourced, fresh and seasonal ingredients. What makes this app different is that essentially, they're cooking and incorporating everything you're trying to, but the difference is in the taste. From organic flaxseeds, chia seeds, chef's special gourmet detox meals, to all day breakfast meals, low fat burgers, whole-wheat wraps, whole-wheat sandwiches, gourmet salads and special detox smoothies, THB has all you sugar-free, gluten-free, skimmed milk, stevia fanatics covered.

Snacking Redefined
