MY NAME IS: Margot Micallef.

I'M KNOWN FOR BEING:

An entrepreneur, boxer and bodybuilder and a proud mom of a 25-year-old son, who is now my business partner.

I'M HELPING TO LAUNCH:

I’m CEO of Gabriella’s Kitchen, the Canadian company that makes skinnypasta, offering a line of low-carbohydrate, low-calorie and high-protein pastas, several of which are gluten-free. Essentially, skinnypasta is as an all around healthier alternative to traditional pasta! We are launching our healthy and delicious kid’s meals and sauces in the fall and early part of 2017. All of our products are made with high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients and contain no GMOs, additives or preservatives. Our purpose is simple: we want to transform the way the world eats by offering food with no compromises!

YOU CAN FIND IT AT:

All of our skinnypasta products are available throughout Canada and are available for purchase and delivery online and in select stores across the United States. To buy online or to find out if there’s a store near you, head to www.GKskinnypasta.com.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL IS:

Skinnypasta is a nutritious, delicious and quick-to-cook food that everyone can enjoy, regardless of dietary preferences or restrictions! Our award-winning skinnypasta High Protein fresh pastas have one third of the calories, one fifth of the carbs and three times the protein of traditional pasta. They’re a great option for everyone from athletes looking to refuel after a workout to carb- or calorie-counters to diabetics looking for low-glycemic pasta. Our skinnypasta Gluten Free frozen entrees make for low-calorie, convenient meals or snacks. Last, but not least, our skinnypasta Superfood Teff fresh pastas are really unique because they’re made with teff, an ancient Ethiopian seed with incredible nutrition. These pastas are naturally gluten-free, nutrient-dense, a good source of vegan protein and, best of all, kids love them!

ONE THING YOU CAN'T MISS IS:

Our skinnypasta meals are gluten-free and we offer vegan and vegetarian options too. I love our meals because I can come home after a busy day or a hard workout, pull one out of the freezer and be a eating clean, nutritious meal in minutes. Also—and this is important to me—it’s delicious. (Did I mention that I’m Italian?) The pastas cook in two minutes or less, even from frozen, and can be tossed with a simple tomato sauce or olive oil and herbs. You can throw in some veggies and protein, if you have them on hand, and have a satisfying, tasty dish in no time.

YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU BECAUSE:

Skinnypasta fills you up and doesn’t fill you out. It’s guilt-free fuel to nourish passion for life!
