My Story

Hi, I'm Laura Schmidt, the founder and creator of Slimspoon. Believe it or not, I used to be a collegiate synchronized swimmer. I have always been an athlete of some sort, whether it be swimming, running, weight lifting, yoga, or paddle boarding. You name it, I'm always in for a good burn. Another fun fact about me: I'm fluent in French. I spent this past year living in France as both a European business student and US Embassy trade intern, learning and admiring the healthy French lifestyle, especially in terms of their "gastronomie."

My Mission

Like many people, many of my close friends and family have been plagued by various conditions and disorders, One thing we all can do to help prevent these health misfortunes is by the way we choose to live our lives in terms of nutrition and physical activity. This website is dedicated to you and our search to find satisfying, whole-food recipes that you can enjoy time and time again.
