Amidst a barrage of advice, especially on the internet, many people find eating well to be intimidating.
With a location now in Camp Hill, Clean Eatz owner-operators Steve and Tamara Dyer are determined to ease this burden for Harrisburg-area customers while providing a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment.
“Becoming a resource for the community [is] the most important thing for us,” Steve Dyer said. “That’s what kind of drives us on a day-to-day basis.”
Don and Evonne Varady launched Clean Eatz in 2013 with a goal of offering a tailored approach to balanced nutrition. After franchising in 2015, Clean Eatz locations began popping up nationwide.
The Dyers started their journey with Clean Eatz in 2018, with their first location in Lancaster. Through the business, the couple brings a personal approach to health and wellness, helping people pursue their goals and find support, while making healthy options delicious and convenient.
“Regardless of the journey that they’re on, we’re here to help them succeed and hold them accountable for it,” Steve said. “We’re just not another place to grab a bite to eat. We can help them get to where they [want]. We’re a partner in their success.”
Long before the Camp Hill location opened, the couple had begun servicing the local market through remote pickup locations. So, when the expansion conversation came up, a physical location in the Harrisburg area was the logical next step. Located near Trader Joe’s and surrounded by a handful of small businesses, including Nothing Bundt Cakes and Playa Bowls, Clean Eatz is a convenient stop for many shoppers.
“We have all collectively benefited from being the new kids on the block, so to speak,” Steve said.
Clean Eatz serves burgers, wraps, bowls, protein smoothies and more at the dine-in café. However, its weekly meal plan service sets the business apart from other health-forward eateries.
“There really is not an easy, convenient, locally produced meal-prep company,” Steve said. “What makes us so different and unique, number one, it’s all made here in either Lancaster or Camp Hill. It’s that personal touch of who Clean Eatz is. You get an opportunity to actually engage with somebody face to face on a weekly basis when you’re coming to pick up those meals, versus a box sitting at your doorstep.”
Each week, customers can choose from a rotating selection of entrées or opt for something simple, like a combination of brown rice, broccoli and salmon. With no subscription fee and complete control over which meals are incorporated into their weekly cycle, customers’ meal plans can be customized to their specific goals and nutrition needs. Most of the meals through this program are priced under $7 a meal and clock in at roughly 500 calories.
In addition to the pre-planned meal option, Clean Eatz has a “Grab n’ Go” freezer where patrons can select from over 60 frozen entrée options designed to last in the freezer for up to six months. Customers can place an order in advance and pick up their meals at Clean Eatz Harrisburg, with each meal prepared ready to heat and enjoy.
“If we start talking about our customer base, it’s extremely diverse,” Steve said. “It can be that high school student that’s taking frozen meals to lunch to the retiree that doesn’t know how to or want to cook. We kind of see a full gamut of customers come through the door.”
This mix includes competitive bodybuilders and athletes who want to fuel their bodies, busy professionals, parents needing convenient meal solutions, and people with medical conditions, among others. Regardless, Clean Eatz aims to provide nutrient-dense foods that leave people satiated, without sacrificing flavor. The company is careful to keep its food as pure as possible by not adding sodium or sugar to the dishes they prepare and by prioritizing low-calorie and low-fat options.
In addition to the in-house café and meal planning options, Clean Eatz offers catering services that provide healthy meals for local events. Clients can order boxed lunches, wrap platters, salads, bowls and various sides and snacks.
“Regardless of your journey, we’re there to set you up for success,” Steve said.
Clean Eatz Harrisburg is located at 3546 Gettysburg Rd., Camp Hill. For more information, call 717-824-4706 or visit www.cleaneatz.com.
