I am your host, Cassy Joy Garcia. Thank you all for joining us today. I’m really excited to bring you today’s interview. We are talking with Angela Mavridis of Tribali foods. She is just such a bright, bubbly, inspiring person who has created a tremendous product. And when I first heard about this product, I was so excited. I could not wait to try it. My friend Diane Sanfilippo originally told me about it. She leads this movement, Tribali foods, their first food products that they’ve come out with are these frozen burger patties. I’m going to tell you all about them. Why she created them, what thoughtful sourcing has gone into the ingredients, how easy they are to make from home. All these wonderful things. <br> <br> But as a nutrition consultant, as a person who has lived this cleaner, trying to fuel my body with the best kinds of foods lifestyle for so long, there has been such a need for really clean, really easy to use, accessible proteins made responsibly. And I’m so thrilled to introduce you today to a lady who is accomplishing that, and she’s doing it so well. Welcome to the show, Angela! <br> <br> Angela Mavridis: Hi, thank you for having me. <br> <br> Cassy Joy: Thank you for coming on! I gave a very brief introduction. You know yourself better {laughs} so would you mind telling us a little bit more about yourself. And then we’ll jump into maybe some of the story of what initially inspired you to create Tribali.<br> <br> Angela Mavridis: Yeah, sure. So, my journey into health and nutrition was one that I call from paleo to confusion and then back again. And that’s because; I was born in Greece and lived there until I was about 6. And then subsequently spent every single summer until I was well into my teens with grandma just eating wholesome real food off the land and the sea. We lived at this beach house right by the water. Right by a fishing village. And every summer; I would spend literally three summers out of the year. Every summer I just felt like the food I was eating just made my body thrive in such a nice way. It could have been also the great vitamin D from the sun exposure. Or the 6 hours of swimming in the ocean.
