Hi! We’re Shireen and Matt, the duo behind Hey!Hunger. Why did you start Hey!Hunger? Shireen, raised on a plant-based diet in India, and Matt, a “Meat & Potatoes” guy, wanted to shift to organic, plant-based eating for better health. We noticed a big difference—more energy and happiness! But with busy lives, finding quick, healthy meals was tough. Inspired by Shireen’s childhood snack—a flavorful plant-based nutmeat patty—we created a quick, wholesome solution that can be made in just 5 minutes. Why focus on tree nuts and seeds? Matt had concerns about protein, fullness, and nutrients when he switched to plant-based. Tree nuts and seeds were the answer! They’re rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, helping to reduce inflammation and support overall health. Our nutmeat patties combine these with veggies and lentils for a satisfying snack or meal infused with bold Indian flavors, encouraging more people to enjoy plant-based eating. Why the name Hey!Hunger? In Asian cultures, there’s a focus on savoring moments—like tea time. We all need reminders to pause and practice self-care amid our busy lives. Hey!Hunger is that nudge to take a moment, nourish yourself, and enjoy something delicious. It’s about treating yourself (and loved ones) to a little goodness!
