¡Gracias por ser parte de la familia!

Hola ,


As we wrap up our Hispanic Heritage Month series, I want to take a moment to reflect on what makes Healthy Rican possible, YOU and our incredible community. From the very beginning, it was your support that turned a dream into reality. You provided feedback, stood by me through each product launch, and cheered me on as I experimented with new ideas and content. This journey has never been a solo effort, it has always been a community effort.


In Puerto Rican culture, community is everything. We grow together, share together, and lift each other up. This is the essence of what it means to be part of a familia. Healthy Rican is more than just a brand, it's a way for us to stay connected, to share the flavors of our heritage, and to support one another in our life and health journeys. Every recipe, every seasoning, and every idea was born out of this beautiful sense of community. Thank you for being with me every step of the way.

A Taste of Healthy Rican History

As you may know, I started Healthy Rican because I wanted to bring to the World, what I couldn’t find for myself. I was on a mission to find authentic seasonings that tasted like home. When I couldn’t find anything without artificial and cheap ingredients, I created my own. After taste testing all my creations with my mom, I knew they were ready to share with everyone. 


I’ve created blends that not only taste good (like my moms cooking), but also made with all natural ingredients (you can actually read). None of those chemicals or bioengineered foods. But also, that ANYONE can enjoy. Puerto Rican or not… From home cooks to professionals, parents, foodies, healthy living or not… I made sure our flavors were so good, the entire family could ENJOY! 


Featured Recipe with SAVORY

Our featured Savory Spice Mix, soon to be called _____, is one of these creations that have many uses, and can be enjoyed by all. Created as a lucky mistake, it’s now one of our most popular seasonings. Some chefs have called it their absolute favorite, while other home cooks have shared it’s like crack in a bottle, saying “I put that sh!t on everything!.” One recent customer said “If you put that on a flip flop, I’d eat that too.”

When I first created the Savory Spice Mix, it was by accident, kinda. I was creating a blend that had it all. The components of Adobo, and Sofrito, with a hint of color. It was supposed to serve busy people. Especially to make a perfect chicken stew, without having to figure out all the seasonings needed. However, when I tried it on other foods like roasted veggies, pork and even making a delicious pot of “arroz con pollo” or trying on vegan recipes, I knew this wasn’t just a blend for chicken stew.


Here’s my favorite recipe to make with the Savory: Alitas de Pollo!


Air Fryer Chicken Wings

imageIngredients: 

2 lbs chicken wings

2 tbsp Savory Spice Mix

Avocado or Olive oil spray

Equipment: Air Fryer, oven or conventional oven (cooking times will vary depending on the equipment)


Directions: 

Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400 degrees F. Add your wings into a large bowl. Rinse (or not) and pat dry all the wings with a paper towels. Season with Savory Spice Mix and layer your wings on parchment paper, and spray with oil. In the air fryer, cook for 10-12 minutes, turning them over half way through. If baking in an oven, cook for about 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken wings. Make sure to check the internal temperature, and that it reaches 165 degrees F or more. Do not over cook, as your wings may end up burnt or dry. Enjoy with a small side of rice and beans, and a nice portion of veggies for a full balanced meal.
