Meet Kristen of Earth Kandee: Redefining “Fast Food” One Smart Fridge at a Time
Share
Kristen, the founder of Earth Kandee, is on a mission to make clean, handcrafted food as easy to grab as a candy bar. Her company specializes in smart fridges stocked with healthy meals, snacks, and drinks—what she calls “healthy fast food.” Perfect for businesses and wellness-minded spaces, Earth Kandee handles everything from stocking to maintenance, making it effortless to offer nourishing options without a full kitchen or staff.
Their 2025 best-sellers are a true reflection of Kristen’s commitment to flavor and wellness: the PB & Cacao Protein Smoothie is rich, satisfying, and packed with plant-based protein, while the Lemon Blueberry Chia Pudding topped with house-made granola is a refreshing, wholesome treat. As someone who’s tried it—let’s just say “delicious” doesn’t even come close. With Earth Kandee, healthy food isn’t just accessible—it’s irresistible.
Let's check in with Kristen and see what she has to say!
Tell us a little bit about your company. What do you specialize in? What products or services do you offer? Earth Kandee is a healthy vending company specializing in smart fridges stocked with hand crafted, healthy meals, snacks, and drinks. We handle everything from stocking to maintenance, making it effortless for businesses to offer their community what we like to call healthy fast food! Our best-sellers this year are the Pb & Cacao Protein smoothie and the Lemon Blueberry Chia Pudding with our homemade granola.
Why did you start your business? I always knew I wanted a career I could feel proud of. I bartended all through college, and while it paid the bills, I hated that I was making money off getting people drunk. Once I started eating clean and getting into the gym, everything shifted. I felt so good, and I realized I wanted to build something that helped others feel that way too. That’s what led me to create a business focused on giving people access to healthy, feel-good treats.
What sets you apart from other brands similar to yours? What sets us apart is that we don’t just drop off a fridge—we create a whole experience. Earth Kandee is fully turnkey: we handle everything from stocking to maintenance, and we actually curate what goes inside based on the locations purchasing trends. We partner with small, trusted brands (and even make a ton of the items ourselves), and we offer fun perks like tasting events, pickleball socials, and healthy girl walks!
Where do you see the future of your business?You heard it here first--- we're creating the Earth Kandee Wellness Club. Since our fridges are completely self sustaining I don't interact with my customers in person. That's why I started the healthy girl walks and pickleball socials. I just wanted to hang with my community! But now we're taking it a step further and inviting people to join the EK Wellness club where we will curate wellness events featuring the latest wellness trends foods, supplements, etc. Think mini festival vibes but all wellness focused. Dj's, adaptogenic mocktail bar, healthy snacks, cold plunges, vendors, etc. Coming Summer 2026, stay tuned :)
Where are your products offered or how are your services booked? We have smart fridges located at Grassroots Yoga (VTA), Pierpont Racquet Club (VTA), The Canyon Salon (T.O), and Vitality Village (T.O)
