We make it easy to eat well – without overthinking it. Founded in 2013 by Shiri Avnery, PhD, and Ashwin Cheriyan, Thistle helps people get and stay healthy while improving the sustainability of the food system. Thistle delivers fully prepared, healthy-by-default meals, snacks, desserts, and organic cold-pressed juices.
