BAM! Healthy Cuisine

Customers call it impossible that healthy food can be tasty food like this. In 2005, Ashley Fockler and Michael Roberts started BAM! HEALTHY CUISINE to fill a gap in their own dining needs, and in the process filled a major gap in area fast-casual dining. As Ashley put it, “You’d work so hard to feel good, but then there was nowhere to go after you worked out.”

So they cracked the code to combine nutritious with delicious (“BAMlicious!”) by making everything as fresh as possible. “We start with things fresh from the earth,” she explains. “The lettuce is Ohio-grown and we cut everything by hand. Nothing is from a bag. We make our own tortillas that we use in all our wraps.”

Ashley’s husband Michael puts the BAM! HEALTHY CUISINE experience into four main categories: Wraps & Sandwiches, Perfect Pizza, Satisfying Salads and Power Bowls, along with SmoothShakes, BAM! Ballz (a healthy spin on snack treats) and sides. “People expect a salad or a bowl to be healthier alternatives, but nobody expects pizza or wraps or sandwiches to have the kind of healthy ingredients and still taste great. The first time they try our food, they’re usually stunned.”
