The Clean-Bites Blueprint: 
Empowerment Over Instruction

Growing up, I was disconnected from the food on my plate. Guided by ambition but easily swayed by marketing, I struggled with my weight, my energy, and my confidence. This frustration sparked a transformation: I discovered that cooking isn’t just about following instructions—it’s about regaining autonomy over your health.

In 2013, I embraced a plant-based lifestyle, realizing how deeply our food choices impact the climate and animal welfare. But I wanted more than just a label—I wanted a lifestyle scientifically designed for performance. I became a German-Certified Nutritionist (specializing in plant-based and sports nutrition) to bridge the 'Why' of science with the 'How' of daily eating.

My mission is Empowerment over Instruction. Clean Bites provides the scientific blueprints and culinary tools you need to navigate the 'jungle' of misinformation and design a healthy life that fits your unique identity.

Nutritional Autonomoy

You are a unique biological entity; there is no 'one-size-fits-all' diet. I move away from restrictive rules to value your individual needs. Instead of prescribing rigid solutions, I provide the evidence-based tools and knowledge you need to make autonomous choices and shape a lifestyle that truly aligns with who you are.

Science Made Simple

I translate the massive world of nutrition into digestible bits—rooted in science but spoken in simplicity. You will master the fundamental concepts behind your diet and understand the mechanisms of metabolism without needing a degree in biochemistry. My goal is to provide clear, actionable insights you can count on every single day.

Nutrient-Dense Whole Food Blueprints

Every recipe on this site is a scientific blueprint for health. We leave ultra-processed ingredients behind, focusing instead on natural whole foods that offer high nutrient density with low-calorie volume. Experience flavorful, guilt-free dishes designed to optimize satiety and fuel your body’s vital functions

Clean Bites was founded in 2020 by Kai Brockelt to redefine wellness through evidence-based nutritional education and whole-food culinary innovation.
