Wavvo's Story
On one of many freezing cold Winter days, I was sitting in my car between clients, watching the crashing waves from the Southern Indian Ocean as a storm was brewing.
I was feeling deflated and disheartened as I unpacked yet another cold meal-prepped lunch and thinking, this just isn't it; I don't want another cold, tasteless, miserable lunch! I don't want to spend more money on something else, I don't want to bring sandwiches. I do want healthy, tasty, warm lunches! It then crossed my mind, with all the technological advancements in today's modern day,
"there's just got to be a better way!"
That frustration kicked me into gear and became the inspo for what you now know as The Wavvo.
Like many Australians, I am constantly on the go. When it comes to meals, some days there is no kitchen or microwave around to heat meals up. Other days there is a place to stop but nothing to heat up my food, without having to buy a whole new meal.
In my early 20's, I spent 12 months travelling around Australia in a Kombi van. This trip was the first time I was introduced to the difficulties of being able to have warm meals on the road or anywhere away from a kitchen. Along the way, I discovered there were countless ways to keep food cold; an esky, a cooler bag, car fridge, ice, dry ice, ice bricks, and even frozen water kept in bottles can be used as the most simple form for keeping anything cool. But surprisingly, I found very few, if any, practical ways to heat up a meal when you were away from any type of power source or kitchen.
While sitting in my car, for lunch break between clients recently I discovered after trying to find something to heat my lunch on the go once again. All these years later, the same was still true! Nearly 17 years on! Despite all the technological advancements and new ideas constantly being developed. Despite the modern world we now live in, there was still no answer to this problem.
Whether you're working on the road, between job sites, spending the day at kids' sport, heading out on a road trip, travelling, or simply living a busy life, a warm delicious and nutritious meal shouldn't be a luxury. It should be a given.
Yet too often the choices remain the same:

You should never have to settle for anything less. This frustration kicked me into gear, and I decided it was time to create a better solution; that's how The Wavvo was born. Today, The Wavvo exists to help women and their families enjoy warm, homemade meals for life on-the-go. I believe a busy life shouldn't mean settling for cold lunches, unhealthy (in)convenience food, or more wasted meal prep.
My mission is simple:
"To enjoy warm, satisfying meals, made possible anywhere, anytime."
Because a warm meal shouldn't be a luxury and leftovers don't need to be cold and unsatisfying anymore.
