History

Established in 2003.

ABS’s conception came about in Calista’s penultimate year in Law school. At that time, she was getting straight As at school, represented her university at inter varsity debate and mooting competitions, was at her peak fitness and ate well. The truth was that Calista was suffering from major digestive issues and hormonal imbalances. It got so bad that she couldn’t stomach any foods or liquids without excruciating pain. After months at the doctor’s and after receiving countless doses of medicine, surgery finally revealed a 2.5 inch long tumor in her large intestine.

She was 24 years old. Her life took a drastic change after.

She began researching into foods, health and nutrition and started applying it to her lifestyle. Best friend for about a decade and close as family could be, Noël and Calista then started long talks and discussions about bringing health and empowerment to the hands of everyone living in Asia.

Meet the Business Owner

Calista G.

Business Owner

With degrees in Psychology, Business and Law, formal training in pastry and a long career history as a paralegal, psychologist, professional dancer, graphics designer, writer, social worker and businesswoman, it is small wonder (to those who know her) that Calista would eventually find herself in entrepreneurship.

Born Singaporean; bred around the world (Hong Kong, China, USA, UK and Japan), Calista is a multi-​faceted, multi-​lingual individual with unique experiences and a diverse outlook on life. She started her first company, a restaurant, at 18, opened her second café at 20, dabbled in Law and Psychology for awhile before returning to her roots as an entrepreneur again at age 26, with Anything But Salads.

Her laptop is her office. A cup of coffee and our CACAO raw chocolate bars are her constant pleasures. Her dog makes her laugh. The vast oceans, blue skies and stoic mountains are her greatest sources of inspiration. Love is her being. Creativity is her blood. Change is her path.
