How many calories are in a typical meal?

We believe strongly that the quality of the inputs is far more important than the number of calories in a meal. All calories are not created equally (that’s old science) and different foods affect our biological systems (hormonal, metabolic, etc.) in different ways. In our experience, fixating on the number of calories tends to do more harm than good for the average person trying to reach their health and fitness goals. We believe that the simplest and most effective way to reach your goals is to focus on eating real (not processed) food that is prepared from clean and wholesome ingredients. Instead of focusing on the numbers, we want you to focus on how our food makes you look, feel and perform.

Are all of your meals gluten free?

Absolutely. Though not everyone has a gluten intolerance, research has shown that more and more people have gluten sensitivities (without even knowing it.). We also focus on using clean and wholesome ingredients rather than processed foods, which makes avoiding gluten far easier. In addition to a completely gluten-free menu, our menu is also dairy- and egg-free.

I live an active life. How do I know I’m getting enough protein?

Don’t worry, we also live active lives. But to be safe, we have partnered with a registered dietitian to ensure that not just each recipe is well-balanced and carefully composed, but also that each daily menu is thoughtfully structured to maximize nutrient density and diversity.

Will I lose weight on one of your meal programs?

Our programs are designed to provide you with all of the nutrients you need to live an active and healthy lifestyle. We carefully craft each recipe and structure each day’s worth of meals to ensure that you’re looking, feeling and performing your best – both mentally and physically. For some, this may mean shedding a few excess pounds. For others, this may mean providing an adequate balance of nutrient density and diversity to fuel your days. In any case, you can rest assured that by living the V+B life, you’ll be eating delicious, nutritious, well-balanced meals. But hey, if that’s not enough, you can always walk/run to our production facility to pick up your meals yourself (no charge).

Are all of your ingredients certified organic?

Depends. Do you work for the USDA? (Joke). We believe more in working with farmers and growers who utilize sustainable and organic farming practices than in working strictly with those who are certified organic. For many small, local farmers and growers, the official organic certification process is simply cost prohibitive and too time consuming a process to undertake. We partner only with those who share our high standards; those willing to work longer hours to protect the land and the plants and animals on which we all depend. Ultimately, our philosophy on this topic is simple – we strive to establish lasting relationships with good people who are doing great things.

A New Customer Account Experience

We’re excited to announce that we’ve been hard at work on a new customer account portal! The goal of V+B is to make our customers’ lives simpler—and we want to extend that to our digital experience. Using lots of feedback from our customers, we made some updates that give you greater control over all parts of your subscriptions: allergies, delivery days and boosters (add-ons).

Get Started

You can access your account by clicking the person icon in the top right corner of the homepage. (Note: only subscribers can create accounts, but it’s not required. If you can’t log in, first check to see if you’ve created an account.)

All important actions are now on the right side of the account page instead of in a gray bar at the top.

Personalize Each Subscription

Each meal subscription has a tile on your account page. That’s where you’ll take action for each one individually. Give your subscriptions a name to more easily identify them to select meals, adjust delivery days andindicate allergies. Click here to learn more.

Update Your Delivery Schedule

It's now easier to skip weeks: From the account homepage, there's a link on the right side to view and skip upcoming deliveries. Click here to learn more.

Modify Boosters

It’s now easier to add, try, and modify your boosters (think: cold brew coffee, wellness shots, or dark chocolate). Boosters are now available as quantities of 1 single item. (Previously a quantity of 1 yielded 2 individual items per delivery day.) We also added a side of grilled chicken so you can add extra protein to your meals or feed the kids an easy dinner. Click here to learn more.

Refer Your Friends and Earn $50

There’s a green bar at the top of the main account page. Click that, and you’ll be taken to a page with your unique referral code and the ability to share it straight from there via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
