The LifeChef choice system allows you to specify your preferences and have the meals prepared to your liking. Are your children picky eaters? Choose the healthy food they will eat and get the meals you want. Don’t care for broccoli?  Substitute cauliflower or one of the other delicious sides- it’s easy and convenient. 

 

We offer fresh, personalized meals tailored to individuals, based on a completed nutritional survey. We never mix a meal- each part of the meal or component is sealed in a separate, modified atmosphere tray which allows for an extended 7-day shelf life.

In addition to Chef-prepared meals, we also offer supplements that can be ordered weekly or delivered based on your selected frequency.

On our website, you will see Chef Hat icons- they will assist in selecting the “best option(s)” for you. The more Chef Hats, the better for you nutritionally. We base the Chef Hats on the answers that you give in the nutritional survey. If a food item is very good for you, we will suggest 5 Chef Hats. If a food item is not very good for you, we would give the item no Chef Hats, or only a couple if it’s OK for you. These are only suggestions and are not intended as medical advice. With these suggestions, we are not creating a doctor-patient relationship. If you have any health concerns, please contact a medical professional.

All Lunch and Dinner meals are $14.97 and Breakfast components are $4.99 each.
