The approach
“Build Your Own”: Components, Not Portioned Lunchboxes
Most clients prefer the build-your-own idea. Instead of fixed plates you reheat in order, your chef prepares components: a few proteins, a grain or two, several vegetables, a sauce, and a fresh salad. Everything goes into your containers and is labeled.
Your family opens the fridge and assembles a plate: a larger protein portion after practice, something lighter and greener for another person, or a different combination the next evening.
Menus can be adapted around ingredient preferences and restrictions you share, including gluten-free or dairy-free preferences, higher-protein portions, and preferred cooking oils.
Mixed and Matched
Components, not fixed plates, give your household different combinations across the week.
One Clear Point of Contact
Menu feedback, scheduling, and service details stay in one clear conversation with our team.
The framework behind Build Your Own
Built Around Balance
We use Harvard’s Healthy Eating Plate as the visual guide behind our Build Your Own approach: ½ vegetables and fruit, ¼ protein, and ¼ whole grains. The prepared components can be mixed and matched with that balance in mind.
These are approximate proportions, not a prescribed calorie or serving plan.
Healthy Eating Plate
Protein
Fish, poultry, beans, nuts, or another menu-selected protein.
Whole Grains
Quinoa, brown rice, farro, or another menu-selected side.
Vegetables & Fruit
Colorful vegetables, salad, and fruit chosen around the menu, with sauces or oils used as planned.
