Meal delivery - how to choose

Food delivery is on the rise and for good reason! Prepared meals and meal kit delivery services offer a quick and easy solution to feeding you and your family. But how can you tell which meal delivery company fits your needs best? 

Whether you’re a busy stay at home parent, working remotely, or a professional athlete, the most important factors to consider when choosing a food delivery company go beyond convenience and taste. 

Here are the top five things you’ll want to look for when ordering food online: 

1. Quality Ingredients

Trifecta uses the highest quality, fresh ingredients available. All meals are made with organic, whole-foods, and contain no artificial ingredients or added preservatives - providing you the best nutrition possible. 

In addition to our clean ingredient standards, all food is non-GMO, gluten-free and our proteins are level five humanely raised and include grass-fed beef, wild-caught seafood, and free-range poultry.

2. Science-Backed Nutrition

Trifecta is a standout amongst other meal delivery services thanks to our high nutritional standards. Our team of expert chefs and nutritionists curate a menu based on science-backed nutrition. 

In fact, our nutrition game is so strong, our food is has been used in numerous nutrition research studies and to fuel some of the top athletes in the world. We are also the official meal delivery partner of the UFC, PGA Tour, and the title sponsor of the biggest bodybuilding competition in the world - Mr. Olympia. 

Our macro-balanced plans can fit just about any health need, with meal plan options including diabetes-friendly, high protein, low carb, heart-healthy, and plant-based meals. 

3. Sustainability

Not only does Trifecta use organic ingredients, but our perfect portioned meals and short supply chain help cut down on food waste and your carbon footprint. 

Traditional food retailers use a 5-step supply chain. Food goes from Farmer -> Co-Packers -> Distributors -> Retailers -> Consumers.

Trifecta sources directly from farmers. Your food comes directly from farmers to Trifecta’s kitchen where we craft and pack your meals before it comes directly to you. This brings the farm-to-fork as close as possible without going directly to the farm yourself! 

As an added benefit, our supply chain reduces our carbon and packaging footprint by as much as 40%. 

4. Support

Trifecta is more than a meal subscription, you’ll also get the expert advice and community support you need to achieve your fitness goals. We are constantly working to create the best educational tools and resources available - like our nutrition and fitness articles, free macro calculator, or meal pep tool-kits. 

Moreover, our nutrition coaches are available seven days a week to help you pick the perfect meal plan and crush your health goals. Live chat us, give us a call at (530) 564-8388 or email us at info@trifectanutrition.com. 

5. Convenience and Variety 

When it comes to saving you time on meal prep, Trifecta cannot be beaten. 

Subscription services like Blue Apron, Green Chef and Purple Carrot send you recipe cards with all the ingredients you need to prepare your own food. However, this can take a significant amount of time - most ranging from 15 minutes to 30 minutes of prep and cooking time, with some taking even longer! 

Trifecta’s fully prepared options take only two minutes to heat - with zero cooking required. Plus you get a new variety of meals cooked and delivered each week so that you never get bored. This makes sticking to your healthy diet feel like a breeze - which also tends to lead to faster results when it comes to your health and weight loss goals.
