ONO SUPERFOODS
PROTEIN · FIBER · HEALTHY FAT

A cup of yogurt is a great start.
It's just not enough.

Same goes for oatmeal, smoothies, even your kid's pudding. Ono adds the protein, fiber, and healthy fat they're missing.

Currently testing with real people before this becomes a real business.

Everyone's optimizing protein.
Almost nobody's getting enough fiber and healthy fat.

Protein builds and repairs muscle. Fiber feeds your gut and steadies blood sugar. Healthy fats fuel energy and help you feel satisfied. Together, they're the real foundation of balanced nutrition — and here's where most diets fall short:

Protein
1.4–2x
more than the old guidance recommends

Protein builds and repairs muscle and helps you feel fuller, longer. Most people fall short at each meal, not just each day. Two eggs is about 12g of protein, less than half the ~25–30g research suggests you need in a single meal.2

Fiber
97% / 90%
of men / women don't get enough

Fiber slows digestion and steadies blood sugar. Adults need 25–38g a day depending on sex and age, and almost nobody's close. Yogurt with granola, a typical breakfast, delivers only about 3g.1

Healthy Fat
<100mg
average daily omega-3 intake

Fat isn't the enemy — your body needs it, and healthy fats fuel steady energy and help you feel satisfied. Ono's fat comes from hemp, chia and flax seeds, plant sources of omega-3 ALA. Most adults get well under half the 250–500mg generally recommended.4

Who this is for

If any of this sounds familiar, you're exactly who I built this for.

You eat yogurt with granola, but you're hungry again two hours later. Every tester who's tried Ono says some version of the same thing: this one actually holds them.

You'd rather eat your fiber than drink it (think Metamucil). Two glasses a day, or a handful of capsules, isn't something most people can sustain — a spoonful stirred into what you're already eating is.

You eat smaller portions and want every bite to count. With the base, you scoop exactly as much as fits your appetite, instead of being locked into a fixed portion.

You want to sneak real nutrition into what your kids already eat. A spoonful in their yogurt or pudding adds real protein and fiber — in a formula designed to be smooth and mild.

You travel often and need a real, complete breakfast on the go. The single-serve packs go anywhere — no fridge required until you open it.

Scoop. Stir. Anything.

A cup of yogurt alone isn't a complete meal — most people are hungry again within two hours. Granola isn't the fix either: refined carbs and added sugar, with little protein or fiber to slow it down. Ono works the same way in yogurt, a smoothie, oatmeal, or cottage cheese — same one scoop, wherever you already eat.

  1. Scoop into yogurt, a smoothie, oatmeal, or cottage cheese
  2. Add gradually, stirring as you go. Add a splash of milk or water if you like it thinner.
  3. A complete, balanced meal — no prep, no blender

Tip: making oatmeal? Let it cool for a minute or two before stirring in — whey protein can turn gummy in liquid that's too hot. (Using yogurt on the thicker side? A splash of water or milk helps it stir in smoothly.)

Add your own fresh or frozen fruit, seeds, or nuts to boost the taste and texture — it's exactly how my mom uses hers.

How Ono compares

Yogurt on its own, with granola, and with Ono. Here's the real math on each.

  Yogurt Alone Yogurt + Granola Yogurt + Ono
Calories ~100 ~280 ~200
Protein ~17g ~21g ~27g
Fiber 0g ~3g ~4g
Fat* 0g ~7g ~5g
Net Carbs ~6g ~31g ~7g

*Ono values are estimates based on ingredient data, pending lab analysis. Other columns are general averages, and individual products vary.

Notice Ono has fewer calories than yogurt + granola, not more — while still delivering more protein. It's not just how much you're eating, it's what those calories are doing for you. Ono's calories come from protein, fiber, and healthy fat that actually keep you full. Granola's largely come from refined carbs and sugar that don't.

What this looked like for me

I wear a continuous glucose monitor to understand my own patterns. One morning I had my usual stir-in with yogurt, and my glucose stayed essentially flat. It didn't even register as a meal on the tracker. Another morning I had yogurt with a store-bought granola instead, and it triggered an actual spike alert.

Continuous glucose monitor reading after a yogurt breakfast with Ono stirred in, showing a flat line with no spike detected
Yogurt + my usual stir-in (an earlier version of my recipe): no spike detected
Continuous glucose monitor reading after a yogurt breakfast with granola, showing a spike to 155
Yogurt + granola instead: spike to 155

This is my personal experience: one person, two mornings. It's not a clinical study, it's not medical advice, and everyone's body responds differently. But it's the reasoning behind this recipe: real protein, fiber, and healthy fat behave differently in the body than refined carbs and added sugar.

What's in every scoop

No fillers, no mystery ingredients — just real food, and here's exactly what each one is doing.

Ingredient
What it's doing
Unflavored Whey Isolate
The protein foundation — builds and repairs muscle, keeps you full
Psyllium Husk + Acacia Fiber
Two fibers working differently — one for regularity, one to feed your gut microbiome
Whole Chia Seeds
Omega-3s and fiber in a tiny seed
Milled Golden Flaxseed
More omega-3s and fiber
Hulled Hemp Hearts
Plant protein with all 9 essential amino acids, plus healthy fat
Date Powder
Natural sweetness, no refined sugar
Cassia Cinnamon
Warmth and flavor, without added sugar
Fine Sea Salt
Just enough to round out the flavor

Three ways to Ono

Not a shake. Not a supplement. The same real, whole-food protein, fiber, and healthy fat, for different moments in your day.

Everyday Base

The nutrient powerhouse behind everything else here — protein, fiber, and healthy fat in one scoop, ready to stir into whatever you're already eating. Add your own fresh or frozen fruit, seeds, or nuts to make it yours — it's exactly how my mom uses hers.

On-the-Go

The same base, already mixed with real fruit and nuts, sealed into a single-serve pouch — Banana + Walnut, Strawberry + Sunflower Seed, or Apple + Almond. Built for travel, work, or anywhere breakfast needs to fit in a bag.

Kids' Version

A dedicated kids' formula for pudding, yogurt, and applesauce — real protein and fiber in a smooth, mild-tasting powder, with no chia or psyllium texture to fight through.

What the Kids' Booster adds

Stirred into whatever your kid already eats — six simple ingredients, real results.

Pudding Cup

Protein1.5g→6.5g
Fiber0g→2g

Kids' Yogurt Cup

Protein2.5g→7.5g
Fiber0g→2g

Fruit Smoothie

Protein4.0g→9.0g
Fiber1.5g→3.5g

What's in it: Whey Isolate (protein) · Coconut Milk Powder (smooth and creamy) · Acacia Fiber (gentle, gut-friendly) · Milled Flax (omega-3s) · Date Powder and Cinnamon (mild sweetness). Shorter than the adult base on purpose — built for smoother texture and milder taste, not less nutrition.

Estimated values: pudding cup, kids' yogurt, and smoothie figures are typical representative values, not lab-verified — exact numbers vary by brand and recipe.

Why I'm building this

Founder of Ono Superfoods with her daughter on a beach in Hawaii

A cancer diagnosis and a pre-diabetes warning made me really focus on my health. I realized that what we eat every day is medicine — and I found that my 80-something mom had already been living this, making her own version of this superfood mix-in every morning for years.

I'm from Hawaii and "Ono" means really delicious. Every product I make has to hit that bar, and nourish me too.

This isn't only about me, either. My college-age daughter is usually out the door early with class, work, and barely a minute to eat. If this can give her (and anyone else running out the door) a genuinely complete breakfast in the time it takes to grab a granola bar, that's just as much the point as my own reason for starting this.

My mom, in her 80s, with her morning yogurt and her own seed-and-protein mix. This is where Ono started.

Here's the part I don't usually lead with: after my pre-diabetes warning, I focused hard on protein and it really helped with inflammation and some of the perimenopause symptoms I'd been experiencing, like brain fog and low energy.

Then a follow-up blood test showed my cholesterol markers were still high. So I tried to get more fiber into my diet. However, drinking two glasses of Metamucil a day, or swallowing ten capsules, was not something I could sustain.

I wanted the benefits of real fiber and healthy fat, without turning breakfast into a chore.

That's the actual origin of this pouch. It wasn't a business idea, just a problem I was solving for myself and my family, one bowl of yogurt at a time.
