meet our founder
As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, NASM Certified Nutrition Coach, former Bodybuilding Bikini Champion, & scientifically-obsessed food lover, Lexi recognized a problem in the healthcare & diet culture industries as far back as she can remember. As a child, Lexi’s diet was “SAD”—aka, the “Standard American Diet,” where a typical day of eating included sugary cereals, hotdogs, soda, Kit Kats, & Tasty Cakes. The only way she’d touch a vegetable if it was deep-fried & the catching the flu was a yearly event, which she was at high-risk for due to severe asthma. At the young age of 14, however, something sparked the health nerve in her & she’s been a student, practitioner, disciplinary, & educator of health/nutrition ever since. Not to mention, she hasn’t had the flu, an asthma attack, or allergic reactions to dogs ever since. Lexi knows this is attributed to eating a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals from our planet. Whether she’s competing for first place at a Bodybuilding competition, dancing her heart out all night long, or spending her Sundays enjoying life’s beauty, one thing remains in common: her passion. It is the fuel behind her every thought, move, & action.
Over the years noticing friends, family, & clients constantly falling ill from the common cold, developing life-threatening cancers, diabetes, & mental health issues, or just struggling to stick to a fad diet, Lexi knew there was immense work to be done for the sake of our country & beyond. With a pandemic sweeping across the globe, Lexi couldn’t stand still any longer. Upon graduating Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Advertising, Marketing, & Communications & an AAS in Business Management from the Fashion Institute of Technology during the height of COVID-19, she buckled down & got to work. It’s evident that our immune systems need strengthening, as chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the USA (70% to be exact).
Lexi’s mission embodies the words of Hippocrates, “let food be thy medicine, & medicine be thy food.” Let’s eat to beat disease.
Our story
Ambrosia Meals began in 2020 when founder, Lexi Smith-Taylor, recognized a problem in the healthcare, “big-food,'“ & marketing industries that needed to be solved for the sake of our country and beyond. With a pandemic sweeping across the globe, it became evident that the mental and physical health of our country is in a rapid decline & only to worsen unless we get to the root cause of the problem by providing proper nutrition, organic/unprocessed meals, scientific-based education, & ultimate convenience.
Our bodies and the role food plays internally & externally is a science: diet choices can either fight disease or promote disease. Our gut, nervous system, lymphatic system, and immune system needs a healthy environment and continuous strengthening to prevent, reduce, and even reverse chronic diseases.
We’ve tried every diet trend and we know they aren’t sustainable or work for long-term health. They’re restrictive and limit what we crave. We believe health should be inclusive of foods rich in essential vitamins and minerals that help you stay satisfied, energized, and nourished, while providing added mental & physical health benefits in every bite.
Ambrosia is a lifestyle. Food isn’t like medicine, it is medicine. Each meal is formulated with functional ingredients that aids in the longevity of life, all while saving time and energy to distribute in other areas of your life. We know your time is precious, as is your health, so we work to support you in making your priorities, ours too.
We have a philosophy of balance, nourishment, and restoration. “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” -Hippocrates
