Not really, but we have to charge you for 50% of the week’s cost if you don’t want it. The reason is the meals have already gone into production by Friday, which incurs cost to the kitchen.

No, our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you. You do not have to be home to accept delivery. Any meals that are shipped via UPS (addresses outside of the ‘delivery’ radius) do not require a signature; however, if the driver believes there is a high probability you will not receive your meals, he/she will bring them to the nearest UPS store for pick-up.

The meals are delivered in refrigerated boxes with plenty of ice to keep the meals at proper temperature for up to 18 hours after arrival.

We take great precautionary measures in our kitchen to ensure freshness, without freezing; along with vaccume sealed packaging our meals. However.. you can absolutely freeze meals if you prefer to eat them later. If you do prefer to freeze your meals, be sure to freeze them immediately on arrival.
Can I put my meals in the oven?
Oven
Yes, our containers are oven friendly and BPA Free! Feel free to put the entire meal right into your oven with the plastic film in-tact or without. With the film in-tact, the meal with heat more thoroughly. Without the film in-tact the meal will cook more of a roast style. It’s really your preference! Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes. Never bake above 350 degrees or the plastic will melt.

Simply pop a meal in the microwave for about 2 minutes. For best results, leave the plastic film in-tact.

I received my meals but a “side” is different than what I expected
We source all of our produce, proteins & ingredients fresh from local purveyors and try to give you the most variety possible. With that said, sometimes order numbers fluctuate and we can’t get enough product in time to full-fill the order exactly. In the event of a shortage, we make reasonable substitutions. For example, our chef may need to substitute green beans for broccoli / brown rice for sweet potatoes or cauliflower for carrots in the event of a shortage. Although this is very rare, it does happen on occasion. We will not substitute anything that will throw off macros much or kick-in any allergens.
*If this happened & you are not satisfied, please reach out to customer service *
Are your snacks really homemade?
Most of our snacks are made in-house with our own talented Pastry Chef. Chef Katie is constantly trying new fun healthy dessert & snack recipes. All of our protein balls & protein donuts are made in house while our other snacks are sourced from local providers.
What if I don’t like something?
If you are not 100% satisfied, we will re-fund that meal(s) without hesitation. We may ask for specifics so we can get the proper feedback to our teams to ensure it does not happen again.

Who creates the menus?
Our chef and certified dietitians work together daily to create new items weekly and seasonally. We source our products as locally as possible.
Why are the ice packs melted?
This is a common concern, but it is completely normal for the ice packs in your box to be melted. As the icepacks melt, cold air is released into the box. As soon as the insulated liner seal is opened, the cool air will leave the box. We recommend immediately transferring your meals into a refrigerator after opening.
What if my meals are stolen?
If your meals are stolen before you are able to retrieve them, we will replace the meals at no charge. If meals are stolen a second time from the same address, we will no longer deliver to that particular address. A secondary address can be provided.
