Areté started with a simple problem — real, whole-food nutrition that goes above and beyond anything you can buy in a store simply doesn't exist at scale yet. No shortcuts. No freeze-dried powders. No empty smoothies dressed up with a logo. Just organic produce, flash-frozen at peak nutrition, paired with clinical-dose supplements that actually do something.
We're in the planning phase of opening a café and nutrition bar here in Spokane — and before we go further, we need to make sure the stacks are exactly right. Right taste. Right nutrition. Right experience. That's why you're here.
We've rolled out different stacks to different partners and testers across Spokane — and our goal is to eventually have everyone try all three. Each stack was built for a different purpose, and we want to know what landed, what surprised you, and what you'd change. Nothing is locked in yet. Your feedback is the input that shapes the final product.
The daily foundation — organic produce, 54g protein, creatine, D3+K2, B12, magnesium, zinc, and citicoline. Built for everyone, every day.
Dermal support, circulation, and recovery — strawberry, raspberry, dragon fruit, pomegranate, collagen peptides, acerola Vitamin C, and tremella mushroom.
Cognitive clarity and morning readiness — coconut water, mango, pineapple, orange, citicoline, L-theanine, lion's mane, turmeric, and ginger.
Our goal is to get every tester through all three stacks. If you've only tried one so far — we'll make sure you get to the others.
We're not looking for compliments — we're looking for the truth. What tasted off. What surprised you. What you'd want more of. Whether you'd reach for it again.
Every rating, every word goes directly to the people building this. There's no wrong answer. The only thing that doesn't help us is silence.
