With her background in kinesiology and nutrition, owner Sonya Tanzos knows that food can heal the body, but she’s made sure that Sprouted’s menu still hosts some all-time favourites (like pad thai and lasagna!). The weekly subscription is a great way to cut down on stress and keep yourself nourished during a busy work week.
