"Carbe Diem helps us reach our health goals."

When wedding prep met weeknight cravings, Sarah and Peter were determined to find a way to have both—to stay on track with their goals and keep pasta on the table. Living in New York City, life moves fast for this couple. Between work, workouts, and planning their upcoming wedding, they wanted meals that were easy, satisfying, and guilt-free. For a long time, pasta didn’t fit that equation.

“I grew up in a Southeast Asian household where rice was everything,” Sarah shared. “Pasta always felt like the thing I shouldn’t eat.” Peter, on the other hand, had fond memories of pasta nights growing up and wasn’t ready to let them go. He just hadn’t found a version that delivered the taste and texture he loved.

Enter Carbe Diem. One bite and they were hooked. “It just tastes like real pasta,” Peter said. “Not too soft, not too firm — it’s perfect.” Now, Carbe Diem has become their go-to for quick weeknight dinners and cozy nights in. Their signature dish? A high-protein mac and cheese they meal-prep and share with friends and family, all the flavor and none of the FOMO.

For Sarah and Peter, Carbe Diem is more than a pantry staple. It’s a little reminder that you don’t have to choose between loving your food and feeling good about it.

Welcome back to pasta night, Sarah and Peter!
