Jack & Annie's
The Classic Jack Meatballs from Jack & Annie’s are your new freezer staple. These jackfruit-based meatballs are perfectly seasoned and pack a chewy, meaty texture. Each serving contains 8g of plant-based protein and 6g of fiber. We love these plant-based meatballs in spaghetti, on pizzas, and packed into saucy sub sandwiches—the options are endless!

Gardein
The always-vegan brand Gardein is a freezer-aisle favorite. And the Plant-Based Meatballs hold up the cruelty-free brand’s reputation! While they taste great in a variety of creative preparations, we love to serve ours over roasted spaghetti squash with plant-based marinara, torn basil, and vegan parmesan cheese. Vegan meatball brands FTW!

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
