Lead UX Designer (Portugal - Remote)

Our Mission

We make it easy for everyone to build healthy habits and eat more fruit and vegetables by creating innovative products that are highly nutritious, sustainable, and delicious.

How We Do It

Just 1 in 10 US adults eats the recommended minimum of 5 cups of fruits and vegetables every day. We're helping solve that problem with convenient, organic, and mouth-watering products. We transform fresh, organic fruits and veggies into handy single-serving meal moments such as instant smoothies, delicious fruit snacks, and fruity oats.
