Blue Zones Kitchen

In this episode of Rooted, I speak with Scott Marcus, the Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Zones Kitchen, which are frozen ready meals inspired by Dan Buettner's research on the Blue Zones of the world (areas in the world with the longest living people). We discussed so many amazing topics like: 🔵 Scott’s journey to Blue Zones Kitchen, starting with Mondelēz International and then Vital Farms 🔵What the Blue Zones of the world are and what connects these areas 🔵How Blue Zones Kitchen has the potential to change our perception around frozen foods 🔵Why it made sense to create a CPG company as an extension of the Blue Zones brand 🔵What simple things we can implement in our everyday lives and why we tend to overcomplicate how to live a healthy life Blue Zones Kitchen can be found in retailers like Whole Foods Market and Wegmans Food Markets. If you go to the BZK website under “Store Locator,” you can receive 2 dollars off your meal. I always love having these meals especially after long travel days 😁 https://lnkd.in/dcCRNuhf
