MY STORY - 'Auka' - meaning "to enhance"

Hi! My name is Lauren Lampert and I am a huge fan of using superfoods to keep your body healthy and happy, but it takes time to understand the benefits of each one and how to use them. I created AukaLife to provide NUTRIENT-RICH, ORGANIC superfood blends to enhance your meals - and overall to enhance your life!

There's a lot of misinformation out there and what we put into our bodies truly impacts our happiness =D AukaLife takes away the hassle of understanding which superfoods are best for you by combining a few targeted, effective, and natural ingredients.

I've done the research and mixing for you! 4 products below contain only these ingredients:

DETOX - moringa, matcha, spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, flaxseed

ENERGY - maca, bee pollen, flaxseed, coconut palm

RECOVERY - cacao, pea protein, hemp protein, maca, walnut

ANTIOXIDANT - acai powder, goji powder, turmeric, chia seeds, beet root powder, camu camu

The top 3 reasons why I truly believe in AukaLife blends:

Convenient: AukaLife comes in single-serving 'travel' size packages when you're on-the-go as well as larger bulk packages to easily add to your smoothies with a single scoop.

Organic: Ingredients are high quality, all-natural, non GMO & (of course!) organic. Nothing that sounds like it was manufactured or synthesized in a lab.

Delicious: Recipes have been carefully designed to not only maximize benefits, but taste good!

WHAT ARE SUPERFOODS?

FLAXSEEDS · CHIA SEEDS · HEMP SEEDS · MACA · AÇAÍ · MORINGA · WHEATGRASS · BEE POLLEN · COCONUT PALM · CACAO · BEET ROOT · GOJI BERRY · PEA PROTEIN · SPIRULINA · TURMERIC · CAMU · GINGER · BARLEY GRASS

Superfoods are nutrient dense roots, seeds or plants full of vitamins and minerals your body craves. Each ingredient comes from the earth and has been used for their healing and medicinal benefits for hundreds of years.

Superfoods are known to:

• Aid digestion
• Fight cancer
• Fight heart disease
• Protect organs from toxins
• Lower cholesterol
• Regulate metabolism
• Reduce inflammation in the body
• Healthier, smoother, stronger skin

We've made it easy to add to your juice, smoothie or tea, or sprinkle on your breakfast bowl, overnight oats, soup or salad! (I've even mixed into my beer for an extra boost of vitamins :-o)

THE WHY

Currently you can find AukaLife products in a few local juice bars, but we want to spread the LOVE throughout the COUNTRY! 

• My goal is to spread wellness EDUCATION and AWARENESS to local and global communities about the benefits of eating more plants & seeds
• I aim to show you the HEALING and DETOXIFYING benefits of natural plant life, so that you can overcome your biggest health obstacles, and live a happy life.
• But most importantly BE HAPPY! And do what makes you and your body happy. If you need to eat a tub of ice cream because you had a sh*tty day - do it! If you haven't been to the gym in a month and too exhausted to fit it into your schedule, it's ok. I want to be an example for young female entrepreneurs everywhere that you can do anything you put your mind to, and it's ok if you stumble along the way. We have 1 life to live, so MAKE IT COUNT!

CHALLENGES

My 2 biggest challenges are:

• Minimum quantities required for bulk manufacturing are very high, especially with a single serving product, so the upfront costs are steep. This is why we need YOUR help to raise $ for pre-orders to get 10,000 units made.
• The health supplements market is very saturated with tons of similar products, but I have spoken to nutrition experts, personal trainers, and health doctors who believe I have created a simple, effective product that my target market will really love. I have partnered with wellness bloggers and influencers who support my product and are helping me promote it.
