How did the process of building Wonder Monday go?
In the middle of the pandemic, I quit my job as a Product Manager at WW (Weight Watchers) to start something new. At the time, my partner, Jonathan, just finished up at the last startup he’d co-founded. We had no idea what we would do next but knew we wanted to make something awesome together.
A few months later, we won a small grant to create a novel dairy snack. We’re both obsessed with food and love reinventing classic recipes to make them healthier. Walking down the grocery store aisles, we were shocked to find there were no healthy cheesecake options.
So we decided to make our own. We didn’t start with a family cheesecake recipe that’s been passed down for four generations. In fact, at the time, I’d never even had a cheesecake in my life! So we spent over a year crafting a recipe that could compete with the best cheesecake you ever had, minus the sugar.
What excites you most about your business?
What gets us up in the morning is our passion for crafting an incredible product and the impact our product has on our customers’ lives (just read our reviews!). Building a brand together as a couple is also incredibly rewarding and gets us excited every day.
Any interesting stories involved with the process of creating Wonder Monday?
We once had to throw away thousands of cheesecakes because of a failed production run. It was awful at the time but now I look back and chuckle because it was the right call to make to stay in integrity with our values.
What hopes do you have for Wonder Monday in the future?
We’re imagining a healthier, bolder world — where America’s favorite desserts are both accessible and nourishing without compromising on taste. And, we’re starting with the cheesecake! Our Wonder Monday cheesecakes are just 1g net carb, 0g added sugar, 100 calorie cheesecakes. Plus, they’re keto, gluten-free, and contain zero artificial ingredients.
