Years ago, Varady was training women at the gym and wondering why they weren’t losing weight when she realized that the small town they were in only had fast food. “So the concept is a little bit different because what is served fresh cannot be reheated and eaten at a later time,” she said. Each meal is $7.99.įor dine-in customers, meal options include wraps, flatbreads and bowls. The kits from Clean Eatz are almost instant, just needing to be microwaved, and are available in keto, low carb, bulk, weight loss and high protein. “We get lumped into all the other Hello Freshers and all those others, but … by the time you cook it, clean it and prepare it you’ve already lost almost an hour,” said Varady, referring to popular “meal kit” companies. Varady and her husband Don founded the brand that, in addition to full meals, offers a branded meal kit with prepared and prepackaged meals that can either be thrown into the microwave or the oven for easy access. ![]() “Everyone always thinks that we're such a fast casual, but really … we call ourselves a lifestyle café,” said Varady.

Its weekday hours were set for self-proclaimed “selfish” reasons from Varady, a gym lover and former body builder. So, go get your pizza and we'll be back on Monday,’” said Evonne Varady, co-founder of Clean Eatz.Ĭlean Eatz is a healthful concept meant to center around clean eating. And we're like, ‘You've eaten with us for six days, the weekend should be your cheat meal. “We found that our customers, we give them a break. Why the short hours on weekends, which is when restaurants typically make their money? Clean Eatz has been open 10 years and is on track to have 100 units by the end of the year, and it’s never expanded its hours - perhaps a surprise considering it’s only open 11 a.m. ![]()
