A Story Based on Passion

Every company has a beginning, and occasionally those beginnings are the result of need, passion, and timing all coming together. Tracy Childs’s journey began long before Tracy’s REAL Foods officially opened in March 2020. Since 2005, she has been teaching whole-food, plant-based cookery and nutrition with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. For years, she worked tirelessly to help people understand that food isn’t just fuel; it’s a choice we make every day that affects our health, vitality, and happiness.

But then the pandemic happened. All of a sudden, the busy in-person classes that she loved so much stopped. There are no more chats, hands-on demonstrations, or laughs in the kitchen. Tracy, like many others, was at a crossroads: she had to choose between giving up what she loved or trying something new. That’s when she and her husband finally listened to what people had been saying for years: “You should sell these!”

Tracy’s REAL Foods started in March 2020. It wasn’t only about selling sweets. It was about giving people REAL FOOD that was clean, guilt-free, balanced, and always cooked with love. Today, people all around the country adore her treats, which shows that hard work and devotion can make something amazing.

Carrot Cake Spice Cookies: Breakfast Cookies

A cookie was the beginning of it all. But not just any cookie—a cookie that changed the way people thought about gluttony. Tracy’s debut product was the Carrot Cake Spice Cookies, and dedicated admirers still love them and keep them in their kitchens.

What makes them so unique? They don’t have any oil or gluten in them, and they are full of whole foods like carrots, lentils, berries, almonds, and oats. That means you can eat them for breakfast, tea time, or even before you work out. Imagine sitting down with your morning coffee and thinking, “Yes, I can eat cookies for breakfast and feel good about it.”

And here’s the best part: each cookie is meticulously measured so that it fills you up without being too heavy, is sweet without being processed, and is good for you without losing flavor. That kind of balance is challenging to find in baked goods.

One comment from a customer said it best: “I’ve never had a cookie that makes me feel like I’m eating a meal.” I eat one after my morning run, and it keeps me going without making me feel awful.

These cookies are proof that you can treat yourself without feeling awful about it. They are high in protein, fiber, and minerals. And to be honest, they’re very, really good.

REAL Burgers: A Better Way to Have Burger Night

Burger nights make me feel nostalgic. The smell of anything cooking on the grill or skillet, and the sight of families gathering around the table with lots of toppings. But what if burger night could be healthy, guilt-free, and still taste outstanding? This is precisely what REAL Burgers accomplish.

These patties are different from the ultra-processed ones you can buy because they are prepared entirely from natural foods like lentils, oats, millet, and vegetables, and don’t have any oil in them. They are firm enough to stay together on the grill, crispy on the exterior, and soft on the inside, but never mushy.

You can tell the difference right away. You may have that meaty, comforting burger taste without the grease or heaviness. That’s why people are giving up regular burgers and never going back.

“I used to buy Beyond Burgers, but once I tried these, I was hooked,” said one customer. They don’t feel heavy, they taste fresh, and I feel more awake after eating them.

These burgers are full of protein, fiber, and all the wonderful things that vegetables do for your health. They show that eating clean doesn’t mean giving up flavor. They may be used in many different ways, from salads and Buddha bowls to tacos and wraps.

The Unsung Hero Snack: Berrylicious Crunch

People typically talk about the cookies and burgers, but Tracy’s Berrylicious Crunch deserves its time in the spotlight. This power snack made from buckwheat is raw, sweetened with fruit, and has the wonderful crunch that granola lovers enjoy.

Berrylicious Crunch is the snack you didn’t know you needed. It’s delicious on its own, over oatmeal, or in a trail mix. It’s another example of Tracy’s ability to make wonderful cuisine out of simple ingredients. It’s high in protein, gluten-free, and full of superfood power.

The Philosophy Behind Each Bite

Tracy’s motto is clear: “You and your family deserve the best, and quality matters.” She only utilizes products that she would provide to her family, and she always tries to use organic ones when she can.

Her products don’t have the processed sugars and oils that are in most packaged foods. They don’t have any added sugar; instead, they obtain their sweetness from dates, raisins, and other fruits. They also get their nourishment from legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains.

That’s why every bite of her treats tastes different. They don’t only fill you up; they give you energy. And it’s this promise of food without compromise that keeps people coming back.

A Way of Life, Not Just a Business

Tracy doesn’t only make meals; she lives the lifestyle she talks about. She has been a vegan for decades and is a certified Nutritional Consultant. She is also the co-author of America Goes Vegan, which has more than 100 of her recipes.

She used to be a Software Engineer and had a Master’s degree in Computer Science before she started working with food. But her genuine interest was always in educating and making cuisine that makes a difference in people’s lives. She has spent years establishing a community around mindful eating through Veg Appeal, her work with PCRM, and PlantDiego, a nonprofit support group she helped start.

Starting Tracy’s REAL Foods with her husband wasn’t just a way to adapt during a pandemic; it was also a way to spread the word about their purpose. Every order that leaves San Diego is more than just a box of food; it’s a piece of that vision, carefully wrapped and sent with care.

Shipping Across the Country: Treats to Your Door

Tracy’s REAL Foods is based in San Diego and ships all around the US. These snacks are semi-perishable by nature, so they are carefully wrapped to keep them fresh. When customers get their food, they should put it in the fridge or freezer straight away. However, the flavors really come out when the food is warmed up or brought to room temperature.

The subscription service makes it even easier. Just join the TRF Club and get your favorite treats delivered on time every month. It’s ideal for families with a lot going on, those who love to work out, or anyone who wants quick access to clean things.

Tracy’s REAL Foods tells you what it’s like to be personally cared for by a brand. Tracy’s REAL Foods provides friendly, personal, and concise customer support. You won’t feel like you’re talking to a faceless organization when you email or message them.
