The Scoop

We started Merricks Kitchen because breakfast felt broken. Too much sugar. Too many seed oils. Not enough honest information about what you're actually eating.

The Scoop is where we tell it like it is. No shortcuts. Just the real scoop on breakfast nutrition, ingredient quality, and what actually makes food healthy.

Because you deserve the truth about your breakfast.
