Back in the 1800s when Dr. Harvey Kellogg was inventing Corn Flakes in the U.S., Dr. Bircher-Brenner in Switzerland was making his own concoction... Oatmeal soaked in fruit juice, then mixed with yogurt, fruit and nuts. Over a hundred years later, Birchermuesli is the European equivalent of cereal and milk... but it's still brand new in the U.S..

It's hard to explain what it tastes like, but I'm gonna try. So first off, it's cold... like ICE cold. And the oats are plump and juicy... a little chewy, but not mushy. 

It's rich and creamy and a bit tart from the yogurt. And the chunks of fruit are bursting with flavor! It's this perfect combo of sweet, tart, creamy, refreshing, chewy and crisp all at the same time.

In Europe, you can find it in cafes and coffee shops for breakfast. You can also find it on cruise lines and 5-star hotels all over the world. The first time I had it was when I was working at Bank of America in London. I usually got my breakfast at the cafeteria downstairs... hot oatmeal (they call it porridge there) and I'd add some nuts, raisins, cinnamon and sugar.

Then one day, my coworker Marian (an Irish girl from Dublin) introduced me to these little breakfast bowls sold from a cart at the underground station (the subway in London). 

I'll be honest, that first spoonful was nothing like what I expected! I looked at her wondering what she'd just given me. 

It was cold... and tart and sweet. But it wasn't bad and the taste lingered in my mouth... so I had another bite. And then by the third spoonful, when I really knew what to expect... it's when it hit me. This was really REALLY good.

It became my everyday breakfast for the next three years... and a huge part of my daily routine.

But when I moved back home to the US in 2010... I started looking everywhere for something similar. But nobody had even heard of the concept!!!

So I took matters into my own hands. I bought a little ice cream cart, a used tabletop cup sealer, and Home Depot buckets to mix everything in, and I started Zen Monkey, the first Birchermuesli company in the U.S..

I was buying my ingredients at Costco, filling each cup by hand... and my mom was putting sticker labels on the cups at their kitchen table while watching reruns of "I Love Lucy."

We started selling Zen Monkey at farmers markets all over Los Angeles and it went on like that for two years...

...and then we got our big break!

It was 2012, and we got into Whole Foods Market... only 3 stores, but it was something!

And now, eight years and 4 million cups later... we've perfected our formula, our processes, and packaging... and we sell Zen Monkey in over a dozen states in the US! (not Whole Foods though... so don't go looking there!)

We make everything ourselves in our plant in San Antonio, Texas... and very little has changed from the days I was doing everything by hand... except I have a lot more help!

Six months ago, we finally cracked the code to selling online (since Zen Monkey needs to stay refrigerated)

And for the first time ever... we're making Zen Monkey available for shipping anywhere to the US! (refrigerated delivery)

But we have to be able to do this WITHOUT being able to hand out samples!!! And that's why I'm writing this. Because without you being able to taste it... it's really hard for you to know how good it is.

You can check out our reviews on Amazon (because those are impossible to fake!!!) and you'll see it REALLY is that good! (Amazon link is below by the way)

I know it's a risk to buy things online... especially 15 cups of something you've never tried! But it's SO GOOD, that I'm willing to take all the risk out of it!

You either love Zen Monkey and everything it does for you, or I'll refund your full payment and you still keep the remaining cups to share with friends and help us spread the word. I give you my direct cell phone number and you can either call or email me, and it's done. Plain and simple!

And since we're still a small company, you will always communicate with me directly... every email, every call!

I promise, you're going to absolutely LOVE it! This is the real deal :)

Thanks for giving us a shot!!
