Our Story
I saw a gap. So I made
Hi, I’m Monica — founder of Curd.
I kept looking for a high-protein food that was actually made from whole ingredients — not isolates, not powders, not a lab-built macro count. I couldn't find it, so I built it. Curd is for anyone who wants real, whole-food nourishment without overthinking it: whether you're coming out of a demanding season, training hard, or just trying to eat better.
the gap
After two back-to-back pregnancies left me completely depleted, I went looking for a high-protein food that was actually made from real ingredients. Everything on the shelf was protein isolates, powders, or fillers dressed up as 'whole food.' Nothing did what it claimed and tasted good doing it.
the fix
So I made pudding in my kitchen, starting with real cottage cheese instead of protein powder. Creamy, satisfying, and made only with ingredients I trusted. No fillers, no gums, no artificial anything — just whole food that actually delivers.
the staple
What started as a way to take care of myself became a daily staple: simple, reliable, and nourishing when everything else felt chaotic. Now I want to share it with anyone else looking for the same thing.
What we care about
- Real ingredients, always — whole food, not isolates
- Protein you can trust the source of
- Creaminess without compromise
- Small-batch care you can taste
- Joy in the everyday snack
