Protein-packed perfection: Meet the new veggie bowls!
The wait is over! We are incredibly excited to announce the launch of 5 new entrees: all vegan, all with 25 grams of protein or more. When Mosaic started back in 2019, Sam and I were looking for a better way to eat healthfully. We started cooking in my Brooklyn kitchen and launched with just 6 recipes. Our menu has come a long way since then — now we offer a full suite of entrees, tray bakes, soups, pizzas, and more! We're always working on new options that make eating nutritious, plant-based foods more accessible and convenient for our customers...
Exciting News: Mosaic is Now a Public Benefit Corporation!
A Dietician Approved Lunch
Charlotte loves our Miso Tempeh Bowl! We asked her what would be a perfect Mosaic lunch or a quick but impactful dinner, and here's her take: "This veggie bowl is brimming with gut-friendly foods like tempeh and miso. Tempeh is one of the highest sources of plant-based protein. It’s made from fermented soybeans along with various grains and seeds, making it rich in fiber, too. Eating tempeh has been shown to increase concentrations of good gut bacteria, in large part thanks to its prebiotic fiber content. Miso is a traditional Japanese paste made from fermented soybeans that adds a salty...
A Peek Inside The Cup: Strawberry Tahini
Aside from the zero prep time needed for this vegan smoothie, the easiest thing about it is the 6 ingredients inside. This simple, but complex and refreshing smoothie is earthy, yet crisp but sweet and ready to blend whenever you need it.

A Dietician Approved Breakfast
Charlotte loves our Peanut Butter, Banana, and Cacao Oats-It's the grown-up version of your favorite childhood snack. We swapped the jelly for potassium-packed bananas and added cacao nibs for a dark, bitter crunch. Here's what she has to say about this nutrient packed, filling breakfast. "This oat bowl contains not one but two nutritious whole grains: oats and quinoa. Oats are a staple in my morning routine. They are a nutritional powerhouse known for being rich in beta-glucan—a soluble fiber that functions as a prebiotic fiber and has been shown to be particularly effective at lowering total and LDL cholesterol....
A Peek Inside The Cup: Cacao Cold Brew

Summer Entertaining for Plant Based and Meat Eating Guests
Summertime, and the grillin's easy. Whether you're entertaining a family of fully plant based guests or you're expecting company with large appetites and preferences all across the board, here are my few tips to keep everyone full, happy and ready for seconds: As a best practice, always grill any veggies first before any animal products and use separate grilling tools and serving utensils to avoid any potential cross-contamination Invest in labeling! Since most BBQs are family-style, tent cards or labels for each dish as vegan or vegetarian will help eliminate any confusion for your guests while you are busy hosting or manning the grill. Intimidated by creating...

We’ve put a sweet and satisfying spin on a balanced green juice taste by adding pineapple and bananas with a spritz of yuzu for that tart, refreshing and clean finish.

In The Kitchen With Chef Cori
Let's get to know our awesome team! This week we sat down with our R&D Chef, Cori who is the man behind all of the latest and greatest recipes that you've been loving.

Family Time Made Easy, And Delicious
Now let me start by saying, I truly love to cook. When my wife, Nikita, and I found our first apartment together, having ample space for us to cook for guests was our number one search criteria. We loved that little one bedroom (it’s where I started Mosaic!), and while we lived there, I’d cook 3-5 nights a week. And then along came little Adrian, now 2 years old… and not long after, baby Zoe now 6 months old. And now cooking is one of a half dozen hobbies that has to fight for a slot on my packed weekend dance card, and...

They're full of a mineral called manganese, which is essential to...
Introducing Smoothies!
Today is the day! We have officially launched smoothies, our coolest product category yet. After tasting our lineup of 9 flavors, our resident dietician, Charlotte Martin weighed in on why they’re so awesome: When evaluating the nutritional quality of a new product I take a look at both the nutrition facts label, specifically the fiber, protein, and added sugar content, and the ingredients list. I first look for added sugar content, and, if there is any, I’d like to see sugar listed towards the end of the ingredient list. When it comes to smoothies, I’d look for little to no added...

Mosaic Turns 3 This Month! Celebrate With Us
Maybe it’s a sign that we’re getting older, but it feels like time flies faster with each passing year. It’s hard to believe that somehow, it’s already been three years since we first started Mosaic in Matt’s tiny apartment kitchen… And that in three years it’s become this big, beautiful community of people who care about eating well and doing right by the world. In our first year, we faced the ups and downs any small business does during its start. We learned by doing – and boy, did we learn a lot. From sourcing to production to cooking to...
