About Lana's Bites

Hi! I am Lana and I am based in Boulder, CO.

I show love through food. I always have. In fact, it's in my genes as my mom, grandma, and great-grandma cooked for and fed everyone around them.

I’m thinking about food constantly. Cooking it, learning about it, feeding it to the people I care about. Making something healthy that also makes you feel good is my favorite thing in the world.

In 2024, I started taking herbal classes, and uncovered a new dimension of food for myself. Roots, flowers, seeds, functional mushrooms - all these plants with properties I’d never really considered. It put words to something I think I’d always known: that food is medicine. That what we eat can actually change how we feel. What I put in either makes me feel good or it doesn’t — and clean food makes me feel good. 

I got a little obsessed. I brought these plants home to my family first, then started talking about them to anyone who’d listen. I made teas. I worked them into meals. Eventually I folded them into the snacks I’d already been making for my family for years.

Those snacks became Lana’s Bites to bring these plants out of my kitchen and into the world.

If you see me at the market, come say hi. I’ll happily talk your ear off about what’s inside.
