MA, RD, CLT

Delish Knowledge

Hi, I’m Alexandra Caspero, registered dietitian, yoga instructor and vegetable lover! In addition to working with Have A Plant, I am the Director of Wellness for University of the Pacific with campuses in Stockton, San Francisco and Sacramento, CA. I also own a nutrition consulting practice where I work with companies to develop healthy recipes and nutrition education.

Equipped with a curiosity in the kitchen and an appetite for wholesome foods, I want to make your healthy eating journey feel both achievable and sustainable. I believe the best way to adopt lasting nutritious eating habits is to introduce healthy, delicious foods in a constantly creative manner. Together, we will experiment with simple, inexpensive recipes with a dash of nutrition tips.
