Guest Bio:
Kelly Boyer started PALETA out of her own kitchen in 2005. Her initial concept?
Deliver clients a healthy twist on haute cuisine using ingredients sourced from local farms, cruelty-free ranches, and responsible fisheries. As a survivor of late-stage terminal cancer at age 21, Kelly’s mission was simple: introduce the world to a healthier lifestyle.
Today, PALETA is a positive force from coast to coast. Home to Southern California's first certified green kitchen, PALETA provides meal delivery services, cleanses, organic cold-pressed juices and Potion cocktail elixirs and healthy snacks throughout CA, and select areas of AZ and NV. PALETA ships the Purify Cleanse, Pressed Juice Detoxes & Pressed Potions, and Power Up snacks nationwide.
Kelly had graduated with honors from Le Cordon Bleu culinary arts program in 2005. She had put on a few pounds as a result of her classical French cuisine background, and decided to use her cooking techniques to create healthier meals. Friends started asking her to cook for them, referring her to friends, relatives, physicians, personal trainers, and so on and her passion project became her calling. Kelly became a licensed integrative nutritionist to further deepen her understanding of how to help her clients lead an extraordinary life.
Before PALETA, Kelly was successful in the corporate world. She graduated with honors from Northwestern University's masters program in Business & Organizational Development and spent time as an HR exec at Fortune 100 companies: At The Disney Stores, Inc., she was involved in international global expansion; At Capitol Records, she worked on the creation of a new licensing division; At startup internet company GeoCities, she lead the HR function, taking the company through an IPO and assisting in acquisition by Yahoo! Even when climbing the corporate ladder, she was an entrepreneur at heart.
