About us
Thistle makes it easy to get and stay healthy while improving the sustainability of the food system. We deliver deliciously nutritious, ready-to-eat plant-forward meals, snacks, and juices straight to your door. Designed by nutritionists and crafted by chefs, our meal design reflects scientific, evidence-based principles of diet that optimize health and longevity, while maximizing planetary health, featuring real, whole, plant-rich foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and whole grains. Above all, Thistle makes eating a plant-forward, planet-friendly diet the most irresistible option on the table. We’ve delivered over 20 million meals since our founding in 2013 by Ashwin Cheriyan and Shiri Avnery, PhD, and maintain ongoing partnerships with local food rescue nonprofit organizations to alleviate hunger and fight food waste. We currently deliver throughout the greater West Coast and East Coast, and are continuing to rapidly expand. The San Francisco Business Times named us one of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area in 2023, and Inc. awarded us Best in Business in 2022 among companies that “go above and beyond” in both food and sustainability sectors.

I’m thrilled to be speaking at HLTH 2024 on the Health Foodies panel moderated by Nancy Trent alongside industry leaders Ricky Silver at Daily Harvest, Sherene Jagla from Impossible Foods, and Irina Pelphrey from Albertsons Companies. We’ll be exploring the incredible potential of healthier, more sustainable food options and the impact of plant-based nutrition on both people and the planet. As innovation in the food system accelerates more every year, I’m eager to hear their perspectives and share what we’ve learned at Thistle — conversations like these can literally help save human and planetary health. Looking forward to a great discussion! https://lnkd.in/evwGE8B9 #HLTHUSA #HLTH2024 #Sustainability #PlantBased #FutureOfFood

New menu item alert! Introducing the Less Leches Mousse Cup – a seasonal twist on the classic tres leches, but without the dairy! We’ve layered a crunchy oat shortbread crumble with luscious coconut vanilla mousse, finished off with our decadent housemade tahini caramel. 😋 Packed with 13g of protein and 5g of fiber and rich in magnesium, vitamin D, and calcium, this dessert is as nourishing as it is indulgent. Head to www.thistle.co to get a taste of it next week.

“I received my PhD in Environmental Science, studying the intersection of global agriculture and our environment. The more I learned about the connection between animal agriculture and its environmentally devastating impacts on our planet – from climate change to deforestation, species extinction, freshwater and land use, and air and water pollution – the clearer it became that what we put into our bodies is not only one of the biggest drivers of our own health, but also our planet’s health.” – Shiri Avnery, Thistle Co-Founder and President We’re eager to see Shiri take the stage at FounderMade’s Executive Summit to share her entrepreneurship journey alongside Neha T. Kumar from Full Glass Wine Co., Jiake Liu Lui from Outer, and Craig Dubitsky from happy®™. Get ready to dive into an insightful discussion on entrepreneurship, innovation, and the drive to create something meaningful. #foundermade #executivesummit
