Delivery, done right!




It was almost a year ago that I was able to sample from Pure Market Express. I actually celebrated my birthday with the amazing raw food company. They let me pick out a whole days worth of delicious food and it was delivered to my door step in just a matter of days. I even had their raw chocolate cake as my birthday cake! I was so excited to get the chance to sample from them and boy my taste buds were even happier. I couldn't believe how good and fresh it really was! That cake I swear was the best thing I had ever eaten! I could have eaten 6 pieces right then.



RAW FOOD, at your doorstep!
Inviting all who are or wanna be raw, all who hunger, all who crave.





Here's the skinny: We source, shop, soak, sprout, slice, dice, dehydrate, pulverize, puree, vacuum-seal and ship generously portioned meals—breakfast, lunch and dinner—plus desserts, snacks and occasional surprises. (There's nothing express about "cooking" raw yourself!) Order the entire week's lineup, then sit back and be served. Customize a package of fewer meals. Stock up on fresh staples to do your own thing. Get a whole, conversation-stopping, truffle-rich chocolate cheesecake—"Mmmm"—for your next dinner party. Or, or, or ...Pure Market Express is your market. Wander our "aisles." See what looks good. Every impulse is a healthy one.




Why Raw???
Live food makes you feel alive. Swallowing isn't the end of your food but the beginning. The road to heightened energy, mental acuity and overall health—never mind weight loss with effortless maintenance—begins when you embrace that gospel truth. What you feed your body literally feeds your life, your spirit, your everything. Raw, plant-based foods are full of life and vitality. The diet by definition features no meat, dairy, refined sugar or preservatives. That right there makes a difference. Nor is there, obviously, any cooked food. Raw foods' natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids remain unzapped by cooking's high temperatures, AND SO DELIVER maximum... nutritional and digestive punch. As you age, your body's natural storehouse of digestive enzymes depletes. Cooked foods, lacking as they are in the enzyme department, chew through even more. Raw foods are packed with live enzymes, making them digestive magic bullets. And three times a day you get to choose the magic or malaise. I want you to meet the woman behind the raw kindness you get at Pure Market Express. I was so impressed to see that Rebecca was actually the one that contacted me! I love hearing straight from the source!





Meet Rebecca
Her family calls her "Rawbecca." So goes her story.Life is full of ironies, and Pure Market Express co-founder and executive chef Rebecca Irey being born and raised on a 3,000-acre cattle ranch is one of them. "I can't remember once having a green salad growing up," she says. "Dinner was meatloaf, hamburgers, steak, goulash—always with boiled potatoes and white bread and butter."The ironies continue: "I still don't like vegetables," says Rebecca (likely the first raw chef to ever concede such). Yet hers is the appetite that was won over by the life-giving, energy-boosting, weight-melting, soul-satisfying wonders of eating raw.A taco salad at Ecopolitan, a Minneapolis raw restaurant, triggered Rebecca's conversion. "It had sour cream and cheese—mock, of course—and I thought, 'If this is what raw food is like, okay!'" She became an Ecopolitan regular, trying, with gusto, everything on the menu and taking every class the restaurant offered. Then she headed to New Hampshire to train with and get her certification from internationally acclaimed raw author and educator Alissa Cohen.Thousands of recipe trials later (her husband and six children are ready repositories for her kitchen experiments), she and her husband launched Pure Market Express as a way to spread, like so much hummus on dehydrator onion bread, the goodness of eating raw. Something else that Rebecca has also made possible:

I was elated to see that this baby was in my box! I recieved two very super sweet items in the mail.






A skinny wedge of this, their signature dessert, does more for the raw foods movement than any treatise on healthful eating. So staggeringly rich, so unerringly smooth, so unapologetically chocolate, it’s really a truffle atop a nutty crust. Prepare to fall in love. This was the slice of cake that I celebrated my 28th birthday with and I want you to celebrate with me this year with your own slice. This can be frozen if you want to keep it for a special day! I am telling you to-die-for!



Everything from "Mac n Cheese" to donut holes, Pure Market Express makes it healthy, raw and delivers straight to your door. What more could you ask for? I love the company from the fast delivery to outstanding customer service! Thanks Rebecca for being so great and letting me try some new products! You guys rock!



WAIT!!! Did I just say "donut holes?"




Why yes I did! This is the other item that I recieved! At first I was taken back by how only two of them had almost 200 cals. Then I thought "well, one of them has just under 100 cals". For some reason that made me feel better. When I saw the ingrediants, I felt awesome about eating them.



This is all that they have in them!
brazil nut pulp, maple syrup, coconut oil, sucanat, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt




So much that I ate 6 of them when I opened them. I kept going back and getting one out of the fridge. Before I knew it...they were gone :(

I loved every bite! Raw or not. I kid you not. Best donut of my life. I am being serious folks, these were amazing. I bit into it and my eyes widened! It was more than perfect with my cup of coffee. The perfect pair.

Swallowing isn't the end of your food but the beginning. The road to heightened energy, mental acuity and overall health—never mind weight loss with effortless maintenance—begins when you embrace that gospel truth. What you feed your body literally feeds your life, your spirit, your everything.

Alright folks, get your orders placed!
