We make it easy for anyone to bring nourishing food to their table in an incredibly delicious way.

OUR QUALITY

Nutrition from real ingredients

Verily Kitchen’s sauces are packed with real, whole, plant-rich ingredients. We are committed to creating sauces that are fresh and pure, always free of preservatives, GMOs, and gluten. It’s food you can feel good about eating so you can enjoy every bite.

OUR INGREDIENTS

Our delicious sauces are made with real, plant-rich ingredients, making it effortless to bring an abundance of natural goodness to everyday meals.

Sitting down for a healthy meal is one of life’s greatest joys. Here at Verily Kitchen, we believe that the foods we eat every day should be as nourishing as they are tasty. Whether you’re whipping up dinner for a busy family or preparing a comforting dish after a long day, our goodness-packed recipes make it easy to put more essential nutrients on your plate.

Tomatoes

Filled with antioxidants and essential vitamins like folate and potassium, fire-roasted tomatoes bring a little extra nutrition and a ton of hearty flavour to our Coconut Rosé sauce.

Hemp Seed

Canadian-grown hemp seeds pack protein and essential omega 3 fatty acids into our Hemp Seed Pesto, making it easy to bring more nutritious goodness to the table.

Spinach

All-around superfood, spinach brings a variety of nutrients including iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, and C and a rich, verdant flavour to our Hemp Seed Pesto.

Coconut Milk

High in healthy fats and fibre as well as minerals like iron and folate, coconut milk makes our Coconut Rosé sauce deliciously creamy and absolutely guilt-free.

Cashews

Blended cashews give our alfredo sauce a velvety texture while adding protein, healthy fats, and a ton of nourishing minerals including zinc, iron, and magnesium.

Basil

A classic Italian ingredient, basil brings spice and complexity to our Hemp Seed Pesto while delivering extra B6, iron, magnesium, and vitamin C to your favourite dishes.

OUR TEAM

FOUNDER

Karlene Karst

We believe that delicious, wholesome food helps us all live a little better.

Founder Karlene Karst’s passion for healthy living and family values intersect in the creative space of her kitchen. As a nutritionist, businesswoman, social media influencer, and mom of three, Karlene has developed a unique approach to feeding her active family nutritious food. Verily Kitchen was inspired by her desire to share her family’s healthy food culture with the hard working parents and culinary aficionados in her community.

After publishing her latest cookbook, This Kitchen is for Dancing, Karlene’s followers fell in love with her easy-to-prepare recipes that featured simple yet nutrient-dense and delicious ingredients. However, many home cooks still found themselves struggling with busy lifestyles, and they began reaching out with the wish that those fresh recipes were available in a ready-to-cook format from their local grocery store. An idea was planted—and Verily Kitchen grew.

We know that the importance of nutrition in both mental and physical well-being is more relevant today than ever before. Families are looking for better, simpler choices in a hectic world. Karlene’s vision for Verily Kitchen is to make it easy for anyone to get more nutritious, tasty meals on their tables, every day.
