Our take
The number of companies offering meal delivery services has grown dramatically in recent years, with many of these companies focussing on providing nutritious alternatives to unhealthy fast-food products. However, such food products often follow a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition, leaving customers to shop elsewhere to supplement their personal nutrition goals.
Sakara Life provides nutrition-focussed organic meal deliveries, designing its meal plans to be nutrient-dense, plant-rich, made from fresh whole foods, and customizable. The company also sells a range of supplement products such as powders focused on specific dietary requirements such as metabolic health, probiotic formulas, sleep, prenatal development, and hydration.
Whilst it is undeniable that the company faces competition from the many existing companies offering nutrition-focussed meal deliveries, Sakara Life has managed to stand out by building a strong network of partnerships with a large number of beauty and wellness brands. This strategy has paid off handsomely, boosting its marketing presence and now accounts for a large and growing chunk of its sales. As margins are thin in the direct-to-customer meal prep industry, this gives it a solid advantage against competitors in the space.
