How did we get here?

Alicia and Dane are the co-founders of Nutr, a lifestyle and wellness brand that promotes healthy and sustainable living through the use of their innovative product, the Nutr Machine.

Alicia, a Chinese immigrant, grew up drinking homemade nut milks made by her mother and cherishes the memories of these delicious and nutritious drinks from her childhood. As expectant parents, Alicia and Dane were driven by a desire to provide their first child with the healthiest possible start in life. However, when they looked for healthy, store-bought milk options, they were disappointed to find that most were loaded with sugar, additives, oils and preservatives.

Determined to find a solution, Alicia remembered her delicious childhood nut milks but how tedious and messy the process can be to make. She began researching a way to make plant-based milks at home easy and accessible. With her business background and passion for quality nut milks, and Dane’s engineering expertise, together they created the Nutr Machine, a patent-pending technology that allows anyone to make fresh, delicious, and nutritious plant-based milks at home with the touch of a button. The Nutr Machine is also eco-friendly, in line with their mission to promote sustainable living for future generations.
