New York and L.A. are two very different beasts. But, at the same time, what happens in food and in wellness here often happens there eventually – or vice-versa.

Danielle DuBoise and Whitney Tingle launched the healthy and luxe food delivery service, Sakara Life, years ago in New York and since then we’ve heard nothing but rave reviews from ladies and gents we trust in the Big Apple. But nothing really prepared us for our first bite of Sakara Life here in L.A.

Just a day in to our week of the Sakara Life program, which includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, two flavored waters, and tea, we found ourselves hooked on the incredible food – especially the dressings and sauces. Our obsession with Sakara’s incredible sauces inspired this recent story and had us in the kitchen all day the following weekend trying to replicate some of our favorites. We were blown away by everything from Sakara Life that hit our forks. And, even better, three days later, we felt more svelte, clear and glowy than when we began our delicious deliveries.

To celebrate the arrival of Sakara Life in L.A., we asked these two wellness mavens to fill us in on their favorite habits and hotspots on both coasts…
