Our mission is to reconnect with ancient diet through natural ingredients and simple recipes.

  • We start with whole and nutritious ingredients
  • We produce balanced foods for general health and enjoyment
  • We minimally process to keep ingredients close to their original form
Our Values

Balance

Ancient Sun creates products that honor balance—both in their nutritional profile and their connection to ancient traditions. Our recipes are designed to nourish the body with ingredients that promote well-being without overloading on unnecessary additives.

Transparency

We want each ingredient we use to be clear and understandable. Our date shakes are crafted with just three simple ingredients—dates, cashews, and spices—and a natural emulsifier so you know exactly what you're consuming.

Respect

Respect is at the heart of everything we do—from honoring the rich heritage of the Mediterranean region that inspires our flavors to valuing the farmers who cultivate the natural ingredients we use. We respect the planet by sourcing sustainably and producing minimally processed beverages that tread lightly on the Earth.

Sustainability

Sustainability guides our mission to reconnect with ancient practices that worked in harmony with nature. We take a holistic viewpoint towards sustainability, avoiding greenwashing. Each of our suppliers are reviewed for their holistic.

Our Story

Ancient Sun began on a visit to a family date farm in Palm Springs, California. There, the idea of bringing date shakes to more people was born.
