Cheryl McEwen doesn't puck around.

When the entrepreneur, hospital foundation board vice chair*, snowboard instructor and mom of two started to feel inexplicably lethargic one winter, she took matters into her own hands - literally. After taking a hard look at her diet, she began chopping up organic super-vegetables such as beets, carrots, dandelion greens, and kale every morning in her kitchen. Experimenting with different combinations, Cheryl would toss her veggies into a blender with some fruit and a splash of nut milk to make a breakfast smoothie. 

Shortly after Cheryl started her smoothie regimen, she began to experience dramatic benefits: higher energy levels, radiant skin, mental clarity, a consistently buoyant mood. Excited by how she was feeling, Cheryl then hacked her own time-consuming preparation process by cleaning, chopping and mulching fresh vegetables in large quantities, then freezing the compressed mixture into individual packets of goodness - the Veggie Puck was born!

When friends and family members being sneaking Cheryl's pucks into their own smoothies and experiencing similar surges in vitality, Cheryl knew she had developed a way to make super healthy nutrition super convenient - and that countless others could benefit from getting pucked as well!
