History

Established in 2011.

Luke and Beth started Lighten Up out of a desire to promote a healthier and more compassionate lifestyle. Beth is a twenty-​year vegetarian, health enthusiast, yoga instructor, surfer, and holds a certificate from UCSD in Exercise Science/​Fitness Instruction. Luke is a lifelong artist, musician and entrepreneur. After years of part-​time work as waiters, Beth and Luke decided to start Lighten Up to offer a healthier and more humane alternative to what they saw being offered in mainstream restaurants. As Luke began experimenting with plant-​based cooking, he quickly found it to be a new and exciting outlet for his creative talents. As Beth expanded her knowledge of nutrition and the health promoting powers of superfoods, Luke incorporated her findings into his creations. We are now offering the best of these creations. All of our products are vegan, use the freshest ingredients, contain no refined sugar or preservatives, and incorporate superfoods whenever possible.
