Yes. You now have the option to select your meals each week for your meal plan! Your selections are based on availability, the sooner you choose your meals the better. The window for meal selection is open Wednesday evenings- Friday at 11:59pm PST.

Upon receiving your delivery, refrigerate your meals packs as soon as possible. You can freeze the meals if you like, but for optimum taste, we recommend eating them fresh. If you do decide to freeze your meals, letting them thaw in your refrigerator for 36-48 hours prior to eating typically yields the best results.

Our goal is to take the hassle out of healthy eating, so all you have to do is heat and eat. After peeling off the label, simply puncture a few holes on the plastic film, and microwave your meal for 2-3 minutes. You can also reheat your food on the stove or in the oven if you prefer.

Everything we make is all-inclusive except for the breakfast granola, for which we suggest adding fresh fruit, and/or organically-sourced, unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, rice, hemp, oat etc). However, you’re more than welcome to add any additional ingredients/seasonings to customize any meal!

Thanks to our vacuumed sealed trays, meals typically stay fresh up to 7-10 days post-delivery, once stored in the refrigerator. You can extend the shelf life 6-8 weeks if stored in the freezer.

Our meals are vacuum-sealed in BPA-free, recyclable trays. The plastic seals are also recyclable. The trays are delivered in insulated cardboard boxes with ice packs to keep them at safe temperatures.

Sustainability is something we’re passionate about, so we’d love it if you could recycle our packaging after use! The box is cardboard and can be recycled along with the plastic trays and seal. For the ice gel packs, please follow the manufacturers instruction on their website (logo on gel packs). The padding/insulation is biodegradable.

Each and every meal label contains nutrition facts and ingredients on the back side.

We source locally-grown, whole-food, nutrient-dense, organic ingredients. Everything is gluten and GMO free, while a majority of our meals are also dairy, and soy-free. In our plans containing animal products, you’ll find grass-fed meat, free-range poultry, and sustainable fish – all antibiotic and hormone-free.

The compassionate treatment and welfare of farmed animals are very important to us at Fresh N Lean. We partner with suppliers who are equally committed to ensuring farm animals have a humane life. That is why we are committing to source all of our eggs with a certification recognized by the ASPCA® Shop With Your Heart program by 2021.

We use organic products when high quality raw materials are available and retain the flexibility to use conventional ingredients when the organic raw materials do not meet our quality standards. In food manufacturing each menu item must be certified individually, this process can be time consuming and defer from our ability to quickly innovate and update our menus. We are currently working on certifying certain menu items that are consistently made with 95% + organic raw materials year-round.

We never use processed or artificial ingredients, and everything is non-GMO.

We only use fresh vegetables in all of your meals. Where it makes the most sense we use organic products. For example, all of the “Dirty Dozen” ingredients in your meals are organic. Generally, for the “Clean 15” we use conventional however, ingredients like cauliflower are sourced from organic farms.

Any ingredients that fall in between these two categories such as squash and eggplant are usually and frequently organic as well.

Every meal is made from scratch, just like you would prepare in your own home (only in much larger portions). None of our food is fried – our professional chefs typically bake or steam ingredients to maximize nutrient availability (and taste).

We cook with Olive oil, Coconut oil, Avocado oil, and Walnut oil. The Keto meal plan only uses Avocado oil and Walnut oil to assist with healthy fat intake. We do not cook with Extra Virgin Olive oil. We do not use Canola oil in our recipes; however, it is present in the Beyond Patties that are used in our Standard Vegan meal plan.

We don’t. None of our meals are made with any alcohol.

We strive to use the best ingredients available while also supporting sustainability. Here’s more information about the quality of meat we use.

Beef: We use grass-fed beef which is by definition humane and never confined to a feedlot.

Chicken: All of our chicken is Raised Without Antibiotics including our chicken sausage. The only exception is chicken breast for our bulk shredded chicken. Our goal is to source chicken as sustainable and humanely as possible which is why we’ve partnered with Animal Equality on the Better Chicken Commitment.

Elk & Venison: Any meals featuring Elk or Venison are grass-fed and pasture-raised.

We only use shrimp and seafood that’s been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council for wild caught species and Aquaculture Stewardship Council for socially and environmentally farm-raised seafood.

Any seafood that has been farm-raised is only sourced from sea farms held to stringent standards.

To avoid cross-contamination we use a variety of food safety HACCP programs, allergen controls, and processes like preparing Vegan meals on separate shifts than other meal plans.

Our meals provide a wide variety of nutrients and are dietician-approved, but you may still need to supplement or eat additional food in order to reach the nutrient daily recommendations. We recommend adding our almonds and sesame chips (on our A La Carte menu) to your meal plan to cover most of those nutrients.

If you are on a plant-based meal plan, we recommend taking Omega 3’s DHA & EPA, Vitamin B12, Iodine, and Vitamin D to cover common deficiencies seen on a vegan diet. For women on all meal plans, an iron supplement may also be helpful (depending on what else you choose to eat).

The macronutrient breakdown varies between plans and individual meals, however, you can always count on getting a variety of whole foods. We use ingredients that are nutrient-dense and fiber-rich, nourishing your body and helping you feel fuller for longer. That means plenty of vegetables, and then a range of whole grains, pulses, and lean animal protein (depending on which plan you select).

Our meal plans are designed to provide enough protein for the average individual. However, if you are very active, we recommend the Protein+ plan which provides higher amounts of lean animal protein and energizing complex-carbs. Regardless of your meal plan choice, if you want to add additional protein or sides, you can always visit our A La Carte menu to fit your needs.

Weight loss is not guaranteed with our plans, but many of our customers report great results. Since our meals are fiber-rich and nutritious, they help you feel fuller for longer and can potentially reduce the urge to snack – great news for anyone attempting to lose weight.

If you’re still hungry after eating one of our meals, we recommend eating a side salad, a piece of fruit, or one of our snacks. We offer delicious granola and a variety of almonds on our A La Carte menu, as well as a variety of vegetable, whole grain, and lean meat sides.

Most of our meals could be considered low sodium (140 mg of sodium or less per 100 g of the meal), but certain meals may contain more. Eating three meals a day from any of our meal plans provides less than 2,300 mg of sodium a day. The general recommendation for American’s on a 2,000 calorie diet is no more than 2,300 mg sodium/day.

We avoid using overly processed sugars in our meals, but sometimes add small amounts of unrefined sweeteners (such as maple syrup) to breakfasts and sauces.

All of our meals are gluten-free. Two of our meal plans (Vegan, Vegan low-carb) are fully vegan, and our Paleo and Protein+ plans are also dairy-free. The only exceptions to our dairy-free rule are the Keto plan and Mediterranean Diet plan.
