The story of Simply Add

Simply Add has grown from a passion of helping others to live healthy happy lives. Each recipe is packed full of plant-based, wholefood goodness with nothing added but nature’s finest superfoods. I truly believe that good health comes from the inside out.

I know from personal experience how overwhelming it can be to navigate healthy eating. We're constantly flooded with new recipes, food trends and advice about what we should be eating.

Yet, in the hustle of daily life - working, caring for family and managing endless to-do lists - who has the time to bake let alone shop for healthy ingredients!

That’s exactly why I created a solution that worked for me:

Perfectly measured, nutritionally balanced pouches ready to bake.

It changed everything. Suddenly baking became simple, sustainable and a joy again. No more wasted ingredients sitting in the back of the pantry, no more falling back on ultra-processed packaged foods because life got busy. It was just me, my wooden spoon and wholesome, nourishing food.

With Simply Add, I want to make it just as easy for you.

It’s all about getting back into the kitchen with no stress and no unnecessary additives—just pure, simple ingredients that let you bake nutritious food for yourself and your family.

Let’s rediscover the joy of baking together, one simple step at a time.

Let’s get back to basics together and simply bake!
