Inspired to create flavorful products that aren't blasted with sugar, we launched at local farmers markets! Following success at those markets our products were picked up by retailers like Sprouts, Kroger and Whole Foods across the region which, along with online channels, have become our primary focus. Wherever there are "low-sugar", "low net-carb" and "plant protein," options you will find Americano, but creating healthful products is only a part of our 3-tiered "delicious, nutritious and socially beneficial" vision.

Our Story
We were inspired to create this low-sugar, high-protein but still delicious spread line when we noticed that kids were going to school with Nutella and Dulce de Leche in their lunchboxes. Why?!? High-sugar diets lead to poor health outcomes. In fact… We were inspired to create this low-sugar, high-protein but still delicious spread line when we noticed that kids were going to school with Nutella and Dulce de Leche in their lunchboxes. Why?!? High-sugar diets lead to poor health outcomes. In fact 678,000 U.S. deaths per year in the U.S. are nutrition related: heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and even anxiety due to blood sugar dysregulation. These chronic diseases can be both prevented and managed with good nutrition (and often what we feed our gut has mental health implications)! Often the good for you food is inaccessible due to price or simply because the grocery stores haven't provided it as a feasible go-to option. We are eager to see our industry understand that what we fuel our belly is what feeds our mind and body.
