About Jakefood

We are Jake, a young company aiming to make the world a healthier place. From that point of view, we want to make easy and healthy food accessible to everyone with minimal impact on the environment. An easy and healthy life starts with Jake.

The best way to help people change their bad habits is by offering a better option. That would be complete food that is vegan, plant based and easy to make. These features could mean a world of difference.

Complete food

Let’s start off with our theory: In an ideal world we’d all have time to select, buy, prep, and cook our meals with whole foods, and have the knowledge to ensure we’re getting the complete nutrition we need. But unfortunately this is not always possible, when we’re in a hurry we often reach for unhealthy junk food. Think of a bag of chips, a chocolate bar or a cheeseburger. This food is optimized for taste over nutrition, which is the essential value of food.

Jake is nutritionally complete. The peas and oats in Jake form a perfect vegetable protein profile. But to ensure that Jake contains everything you need, we’ve added fats, carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals from our Dutch suppliers according to the recommendations of the European Food Safety Authority. The other part of our theory is the ease: a Jake meal takes a mere 0 to 1 minute to prepare, depending on which meal you go for. Without having to do groceries, cooking or preparations of any sorts. Jake’s convenience makes life better.

How Jake was created

Jake was founded in 2015 by a team of founders, where CEO Eelco Bakker was part of. During their search for healthy and easy food, they were greatly triggered by the developments of sustainable and vegan convenience-food. The developments in this category became big in Silicon Valley at the time. But in Europe, this was out of reach for consumers.

With the shake we introduced our first complete meal in the beginning of 2015.

Since then we’ve been working on further developments. Ingredients have been replaced, flavours changed, new products were added and the meals just got easier. In the future, we want Jake to be in everyone’s pantry for those unexpected moments when you don’t have a healthy and quick meal within reach. In the meantime, we are working hard on new products, flavours and further personalisation.

Our mission is

To make easy and healthy food accessible to everyone, with minimal impact on the environment.

Our vision?

Offering a better alternative to bad foods is the best way to help people change existing habits. Jake offers complete, vegan food that is easy to make. We believe those features could mean a world of difference in the future of foods.

Jakefood vitaminbar

Vitaminbar

The vitaminbar stays fresh for about 6-10 months. Bring the bar with you anywhere you like. We’ve also asked when people use the vitaminbar and it seems that we like a good snack around 4PM. Secondly, the bar is used as a light breakfast.
