No.

Yes. If you don't believe you'll be able to finish the meals you've ordered within the week, we recommend freezing them right away.

Yes, our produce is organic and our proteins are natural and free of antibiotics!

Our meals are free of added sugar. The only sweeteners we use if needed are honey, maple, or coconut sugar.

We work with our suppliers to source local ingredients for you! Our organic produce does not spend much time on a shelf—we generally get our ingredients into your home in less time than a grocery store could. Since organic ingredients have no artificial preservatives they have a shorter shelf life. Most meals will remain fresh to consume within 8 days of arrival. You may extend shelf life by a few more days by freezing meals. Note: Please consume seafood and fish as soon as possible, typically within 3 days is best practice.

Yes absolutely. We offer pasture-raised chicken, grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish and local organic produce. We only cook with heart healthy oils like coconut, avocado, and olive oil. Restaurants tend to use cheap vegetable oils like soy, canola, and other cost-efficient oils like soy and peanut. These oils have tremendous consequences on our bodies and we want our customers to be aware of the benefits of clean eating. You'll feel the difference in just a few short weeks, we promise!

Simply taste and nutrition. All of our meals are nutritionally dense, with no fillers, no gluten, no refined white sugar, and no dairy, ever! We guarantee we taste better than any other local meal prep. We encourage you to a taste challenge!

No, all of our meals are pre-packaged, cooked, and delivered ready to eat. Just heat and eat!

We suggest removing the food content from the food tray and warming it up for 3-5 minutes in a skillet on the stove-top. However, you may also warm up the food in a microwave. Please remove the paper sleeve from the tray, place the tray with the top opened on the corner, and microwave on medium for 1:30 - 2:30 minutes.

Please remove all packaging. Oil the skillet with a teaspoon of your favorite heart healthy oil. We suggest avocado oil for a healthy neutral taste. Heat on medium for 3-5 minutes.

Remove the paper sleeve around the food tray. Place the tray with the lid on in the microwave. Heat on medium for 1:30-2:30 minutes.

We take pride in enthusiasctially believing that we cook the best tasting healthy food. In addition to that, we offer a fully clean menu. That means we source the cleanest protein sources available locally, and we always offer organic produce. We also only cook in clean oils like coconut, olive, and avocado. We absolutely never use canola, processed vegetable, peanut, soy, or any other cheap oils that the restaurant industry uses.

Finding a restaurant that offers pasture-raised chicken, grass-fed beef, and wild-caught fish is almost impossible. Our menu consistently offers these clean protein sources. Additionally, we promise that all of our vegetables, grains, legumes, greens, and basically anything else that we cook is always organic and in season when possible. Now, you tell me what restaurant can offer that, at the same price point we offer?! Oh yea, let's not forget we deliver!

We encourage healthy eating no matter what. We're happy to see you doing your thing and in pursuit of the best version of yourself. However, we'd also like to remind you that it takes lots of time and money to shop, cook, and package your meals. Sourcing all of our premium ingredients, proteins, and local vegetables will cost you more than it does us. It also takes gas and time to find all of the ingredients you will need to prepare the meals we prepare for you. We say let us handle the food, and you pick up a new hobby with all of your free time.
