Mitzi Harris on setting intentions and spicy tempeh
Mitzi Harris 🏄♀️
Mitzi is a Product Development Manager at Sweetgreen (you can thank her for those SG x Siete chips) and was formerly at Crown Affair. She’s also a vintage shopping wizard, a former part-time sushi chef, and most likely the coolest person I know.
*author’s note: I had to choose one of Mitzi’s favorite emojis for the sake of the subject line, but please enjoy the full array as follows*

What is your fridge philosophy?
I think of my fridge the same way I think of my closet: it’s a collection of my favorite things.
Your fridge is always always always stocked with ____.
Organic Oren: My roommates and I get OO delivered weekly. It’s a local LA meal delivery service, and I could not be more obsessed with the Caramelized Baby Japanese Yams.
Spicy Tempeh: There’s a stand at the Brentwood Farmers Market that sells the most delicious spicy tempeh; I always try to have this in my fridge as a go-to snack or salad topping.
Meredith Dairy Sheep + Goat Cheese: By far the best cheese I’ve ever had. I love it so much that I’ve gifted it to friends for birthdays 🎂
Leftovers from Cobi’s: My favorite restaurant in LA, this is my most frequently ordered delivery and my go-to dinner out for literally every special occasion.
N/A Beverages: I don’t drink, so I’m a connoisseur of all things non-alcoholic. I love so many; my latest discovery is the Pentire Adrift & Tonic, and I’m obsessed!
Top 5 condiments, go.
Peanut Sauce
Miso Dressing (from the same stand at the farmer’s market where I get my spicy tempeh)
Honey Mustard (especially delicious with chicken fingers + fries)
Hot sauce. The spicier the better for me 🌶
Fine, I’ll open it up to pantry too. Let’s hear your favorite snacks / pantry staples:
Paleo Granola + Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons from Erewhon
Dried fruit from Arnett Farms (my favorites are the strawberries and persimmons)
Fishwife. I always have tinned fish stocked in my pantry, and Fishwife is my go-to
Siete Red Enchilada Sauce, the perfect sauce to make my favorite recipe
A meal that’s on heavy rotation these days:
Rachael’s Good Eats’ One-Pan Enchilada Skillet has been one of my go-to recipes for the past few years. One of my best friends is coming over tomorrow night, and I’m making it for dinner!!
(It’s best, of course, with the Siete Enchilada Sauce that I always have in my pantry and any kind of Siete tortillas. Or Green Goddess Ranch Potato Chips :) )
Let’s go a little deeper…
What’s the mantra you keep coming back to?
Everything happens for a reason, and everything works out the way that it’s meant to.
What products / practices are part of your regular mental wellness habits?
Waking up early and working out in the morning, cold brew with sea salt foam from my favorite coffee shop, laughing with my friends, evening walks, reading before bed.
I keep Angel Cards in a pretty dish on my dresser, and I pick one every morning + set an intention for the day!
And your physical?
Everything from Crown Affair: I used to work here and was a customer even before that. My favorite products: The Finishing Gel + Brush No. 003 for a perfect slicked back bun for my workouts, The Renewal Mask in the shower to keep my hair healthy + soft, and The Oil or Leave-In Conditioner every day after washing my hair.
F45: Been doing this for years + it’s my favorite thing.
What do you think is the most underrated part of wellness?
Sleep + lots of protein!
…and overrated?
Skipping dessert. I always need something sweet. 🧁
Picture this: you wake up one morning and feel like shit. What’s your next move:
Listen to voice notes from my best friends. They’re everything to me!
Give us your ride or die wellness products:
Crown Affair everything
Oak Essentials Balancing Mist: Best face moisturizer I’ve ever used.
Soft Pillow + Silk Pillowcase: Makes such a huge difference for my sleep + my hair.
My Kindle: Few things make me happier than reading a good book; it’s small enough to fit in my purse and I usually have it with me.
One thing you do everyday that makes you the most YOU version of yourself:
Sing my favorite songs in the car!!
