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.

How V+B Fits into Your Routine.

Save Time While Eating Healthfully

Living a full life means having the time, energy, and freedom to do the things you love. Eating healthfully enables us to live better, but it takes significant time to plan, shop, prep, cook, and clean up. Whether you’re a single young professional or a busy mom of three, it requires a good deal of energy and mental bandwidth to balance meeting your nutritional goals, eating a diverse diet, and minimizing food waste.

That’s where V+B comes in. We’ll take the work off your plate so you can spend your time on what matters most to you.

We start by sourcing the freshest ingredients seasonally from local producers who share our values. Then, our culinary team transforms those nutrient-dense ingredients into delicious, nourishing, and globally inspired meals. Finally, we bring those meals directly to your doorstep in compostable packaging and reusable bags. Whether you want us to cover three meals per day six days a week, or you simply want to fill some gaps in your routine, we’ll meet you where you are.

In fact, we’re all about customization—starting with your dietary preferences. Do you aim to eat plant-based? Or, do you enjoy your plant-forward meals with some animal-based protein? Choose between our Vegetable’s Basket, which is 100% plant-based, and our Butcher’s Box, which includes a portion of meat. Our meals are always free from dairy, eggs, and gluten, and you can note any food allergies.

Next, let us know which meals you’d like us to bring you (breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner), and on how many days of the week (two, four, or six days per week). We deliver meals three times each week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and each delivery includes meals for up to two days, depending on your plan. Our culinary team prepares meals the day before delivery to ensure you’re getting the freshest food possible.

You can keep it simple with just the meals, or you can add-on additional proteins like grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs, treats like our delicious energy bites or dark chocolate bars, or boost your nutrient intake with our functional tonics, melks, and wellness shots. You can even outsource your daily caffeine intake by adding on our Japanese-style cold brew coffee.

Whatever your routine and goals, we’ve got you covered:

If you love to cook dinners for you and your partner at home but don’t love popping out to grab lunch near your office every day, sign up for four days of just lunches. Consider adding-on a couple cold brew coffees for your commute.

If you’re adventurous, social, and frequently go out to try different restaurants but want to make sure you’re getting some healthier meals in, opt for two days of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That way, you’ll leave plenty of room in your schedule for meeting friends at the new restaurant down your street.

If you’re a full-time parent, or one who works from home, and you’re tired of preparing two versions of every meal, order six days’ worth of breakfasts and lunches. That way, you only need to prep your kids’ meals at breakfast and lunch, and you can still prioritize family meals at dinner time.

If you’re considering making some dietary changes to better align with your values, but don’t know where to begin, sign up for the Vegetable’s Basket for breakfast, lunch, and dinner four days per week. You’ll still have time to make that TikTok recipe you’ve been meaning to try, but you won’t need to worry about learning how to veganize every dish in your usual rotation. Make sure to opt into our composting program to make your meals nearly zero waste.

If you’re focused on staying fit and eating for optimal nutrition, order six days’ worth of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus tonics, from us. Less time in the kitchen means more time in the gym (or spin studio, or training for your next marathon, or…well, you get it).

If you’re intrigued but commitment-shy, order our quick-start program to try on the V+B life before signing up for a weekly subscription. Our intro to plant-based eating program includes four days of fully plant-based lunches and dinners, along with energy bites, tonics, wellness shots, and a bar of rich dark chocolate. You can opt in for one week or two, and if you’d like to stay on for longer, our wonderful customer experience associates will be there to help you build your plan at the end of your trial.

You’re just three steps away from delicious, nourishing meals delivered directly to your door – no grocery shopping or meal prep required. Customize your subscription to fit your lifestyle. Then let us do the work, so you can worry less and live more.
