Our Story
Awakefoodcuisine was born from a simple observation: millions of people want to eat healthier but feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and complicated meal planning.
Our founder, María Carmen López, spent years researching how people develop sustainable eating habits. She discovered that the key wasn't restrictive diets or complex nutritional science—it was understanding the fundamental principles of balanced eating and building confidence through practical, daily application.
What started as a personal mission to help friends and family soon evolved into a comprehensive online course. Today, our Daily Healthy Menu Planning Course reaches people across Spain and beyond, helping them create personalized meal strategies that work with their lifestyle, preferences, and schedule.
