WACO, TX — Freedom Nutrition in Waco had their grand opening just two months ago. Little did they know getting their business off the grown will be harder than anticipated.
As they opened their doors, COVID-19 hit Central Texas and their planned business model took a turn. Although they could close up shop, they're choosing to push through.
"If we close the doors now that's a failure for us. So for us right now it's just focusing on solutions, not getting caught up in all the negativity," owner, Caleb Klous said.
Freedom Nutrition is a place where you can eat healthy while satisfying their sweet tooth. Selling protein-packed, nutrient-dense shakes. Flavors range from fruity to chocolaty and everything in between.
"We can actually help you dial in control your weight, your health, your immunity," Klous said.
Jena McCann is an avid shake drinker. She used to not eat very healthy, wasn't happy with her weight and just had no energy throughout the day.
Thanks to Freedom Nutrition shakes she's been able to get to a goal she's happy with.
"I got down to 115 pounds and now I'm working on gaining muscle because my butt went away when all the fat went away and it's just a consistent journey," McCann said.
She works as a supervisor at Freedom Nutrition and now she's helping others get to their goals as well. Offering wellness evaluations, they work to find a diet that is best for you.
"We look at your daily diet as an overview, we look at your metabolism analysis. We also do body composition tracking and then we customize a personal nutrition plan," Klous said.
As we are stuck inside, it's easy to grab that sweet treat and McCann says eating healthy is more important now than ever.
"You don't want to give up on it just because we're bored dealing with the quarantine 15," McCann said.
The shakes are designed to keep you full and avoid cravings.
"Our large shake is going to keep you full for a about three hours and it's going to taste like ice cream," Klous said.
Freedom Nutrition is open Monday Through Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information visit their Facebookpage.
