I didn&#8217;t like other options in the market, they had lots of artificial junk and were too far away from nature to be considered an actual meal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img src=\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/500x0\/151340\/sus.jpg#image-151340\" width=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\">Sustenance&#8217;s extra-rich cacao shakes<\/h5>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Noting this gap in the market, the duo wanted<br \/>\nto offer people with minimally processed products that use real food<br \/>\ningredients from premium suppliers. Their products contain plenty of protein<br \/>\nand fiber and minimal bad stuff like saturated fat and artificial junk. <\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The idea behind<br \/>\nSustenance is simple &#8212; we want to make it simple and painless for people to<br \/>\neat healthy. We want to empower people to lead healthy, disease-free lives<br \/>\nwithout having to put diets at the centre of their lives,&#8221; said Gautam. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gautam added that Sustenance is suitable for<br \/>\ntime-starved people like busy workers who prefer quick, yet healthy meals.<br \/>\nThere are also some who turn to Sustenance to incorporate it as part of their<br \/>\ndiet to lose weight. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The winning factor of Sustenance over a<br \/>\nconventional meal is its convenience. If you are short on time, can&#8217;t find<br \/>\naffordable options or healthy food around you, then Sustenance&#8217;s meal shakes<br \/>\nmake a good alternative to unhealthy food.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Science has<br \/>\nestablished that consistently eating healthy is a behavioural problem, not a<br \/>\nknowledge problem. People know what eating healthy means, but they struggle<br \/>\nwith doing it consistently in the long run because of the hassle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody wants to<br \/>\nspend their lunch break queuing (up for food), spend a bomb eating grain bowls<br \/>\nevery day, or spend an hour cooking and cleaning up during weekdays. If we can reduce<br \/>\nthe friction to eating healthier, many people would eat healthier more<br \/>\nconsistently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is the unique proposition of meal<br \/>\nreplacements &#8211; they serve as a &#8220;backup option&#8221; that is readily available<br \/>\nanytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most of their customers started out as<br \/>\nnon-believers who never tried any meal replacements before. However, after buying<br \/>\nand trying their products, they instantly became converts. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These people who were initially on the fence<br \/>\nend up being regular customers and making many repeat purchases. They would<br \/>\nthen recommend it to their family and friends &#8212; this is our main source of<br \/>\ngrowth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Its pool of customers has grown to several<br \/>\nthousands over the past 12 months, and its products are rated 4.9 out of 5.0 stars<br \/>\nacross hundreds of reviews on Google and Facebook. Many of these reviews talk<br \/>\nabout the unexpected deliciousness of the shakes despite its green appearance,<br \/>\nand how filling they are.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company has grown by more than six times<br \/>\nin 2020 and started selling in Hong Kong and Australia in March 2021.
