Laird Superfood was born when pioneering big wave surfer Laird Hamilton set out to find a better morning routine to improve and sustain his performance on the waves. He began experimenting with adding healthy plant-based fats and other real-food ingredients to his morning cup, eventually perfecting a recipe that not only sustained his energy, but tasted incredible.
