In our carnivorous version, we use sirloin steak to deliver an endocrine-friendly protein-punch and, in our vegetarian version, fiber-rich beans will keep you steady and full for the first part of the day. And, of course, we added bell peppers, cause no meal is a good meal without a few veggies.

This empanada achieves a Mediterranean flavor profile that’s regionally authentic, but still melds well with our signature Cassava dough. We started by teaming up well-seasoned chicken thighs and Kalamata Olives to create a deep, savory flavor base and a hearty, meaty bite. Then, we added roasted garlic and sweet dates, which balance each other in perfect portion. Finally, we added a bit of irresistible melty feta, a subtle salty element that makes all the flavors and textures hold hands in this transcontinental masterpiece.

It takes us hours to roast the pork shoulder to perfection, but every minute is worth it to achieve that deep, sweet flavor.

With 16g of protein, this is our meatiest empanada of all.5.25 USD
The roasted veggies empanada is a darling of vegetarians and carnivores alike. If you've got picky little eaters at home, this could be the way you finally get them to eat their veggies (and ask for seconds). The filling is packed with flavor and nutrition. The broccoli & cauliflower together offer a whopping dose of vitamins C & K (crucial for vitamin D absorption), the zucchini brings antioxidants to the table, and the parmesan ties it all up with a bow.

Admit it. You miss them: those delicious, cheesy, oh-so- filling-and- comforting Hot Pockets from your high school and college days. And the Bagel Bites. And the Tombstone pizzas. Even, God help you, the SpaghettiOs.
There’s no shame in it; we feel you. The nostalgia is as real as the fact that we simply can’t eat like that anymore. So we developed the Smoked Sausage and Marinara Empanada, a healthy, adult, gluten-free version of those youthful comfort foods. It’s got all the same gooey, meaty, deep sweet tomatoey goodness, but with an elevated spice profile (because we pay taxes now, so we deserve it).

Crust: cassava-root starch, rice flour, cheese (milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, cellulose, potato starch), butter (cream, salt), eggs, tomato paste (tomatoes), sea salt.
