We desperately want there to be a solution to our packaging, but the technology at a large scale is not there at the moment. Once sea/plant based packaging becomes more readily available and solid, we'll be the first to use it. And we don't have the facility space to use glass packaging. Wish we could.
For now, all of our packaging is a mix of recyclable plastic and biodegradable fiber. We value food quality and shelf life, and therefore compostable sugarcane bagasse and coated card stock doesn't work for our needs. It soaks up sauces, dries out the protein, and can be a mess in the refrigerator
We will gladly take your empty containers when we deliver your fresh meals on Sunday and reuse them if we can. Just leave them out for pickup on Sunday.
We can't wait for there to be a suitable solution, but the marketplace isn't there just yet.
The 5 Day has 5 ENTREES and 4 SIDES with a beautiful, organic salad.
The 3 Day has 3 ENTREES and 2 SIDES with the same beautiful salad. Each container you receive is designed to have 2 servings.
We usually throw in a speciality or extra item for our subscribers.
On Tuesday by 7pm if you want to be included in the following Sunday's delivery. All orders placed after Tuesday night will be kicked to the week after the current week. This is also true if you wish to PAUSE or CANCEL your plan. Tuesday at 7pm is the cut-off for cancelling or pausing your subscription.
We deliver on Sundays in the morning or early afternoon. Your meals should be there in time for you to plan the week and enjoy Sunday dinner with the Gourmet Animal.
Each dish is plated ala carte. Not bento box style. For the 5 Day Prep, you receive 9 dishes with 2 servings of each dish. And the 3 Day Prep has 6 dishes. Packing like this means you have options for entrees and sides that you get to choose.
Swaps are designed so that you don't get protein that you don't want. Ever. If you are a Monthly or Weekly subscriber, all you have to do is Swap once for an item and you'll never get it, or get in touch with us at support@thegourmetanimal.com if there are several proteins you don't eat and we can make a permanent note. Swapping is designed to make it EASY for you to get what you want. And when you swap, the dish will be replaced by the kitchen, not by a menu you have to choose from. You'll get another dish in place of the one you are swapping for without the need to log on and change options weekly.
We print the Next Week’s Menu on Tuesday morning, the same day as the order cut-off for the week.
If you see something you don't want, we encourage you to SWAP if you don’t like an item from the menu for One Off Purchases ONLY.
For Subscribers, please SWAP any protein you NEVER want to receive when you checkout the first time and you will never get that selection.
Easy. Just add protein at checkout and you'll get an extra 50g of protein per day for either 3 Days or 5 Days. If you work out regularly and weigh more than 190 lbs, extra protein is recommended..
Up to a point, we will try our best to accommodate you with Swaps. For instance, if you don’t like Fish or seeds just Swap for fish and tell us no seeds on the checkout box under Allergies. If there is some more complicated dietary restrictions, please reach out to support@thegourmetanimal.com and let us know. But if the restrictions are too numerous, we may not be able to work together, and that's okay.

It’s mostly MENTAL. And you’ve got this! If you have the Gourmet Animal, you’ll be in a good place. Just eat what’s in the prep and know that you WILL have cravings and be a little uncomfortable as you start this journey. Some symptoms include crankiness, hunger, and a little keto-flu, which isn’t anything like the real flu. Most acute symptoms pass after 5 days but everyone is different, so we can’t guarantee the timeline. And don’t get discouraged.
Our mission is source the most sustainable and delicious producers on the West Coast. From grass fed beef, forrest raised pork, sumptuous lamb, and heritage chicken- we’re here to find the farms that do the raising right. Add to that Wild Fish and best practices of aqua cultured fish/shellfish and you’ve got sourcing that destroys the competition.
This is designed for foodies with health focus. Global cuisine and an epic variety of dishes means you trust the source and it rarely gets boring. Even though sometimes eating your veggies IS boring. We spruce it all up so that even our Brussels sprouts taste magical. Eventually, we’ll be serving Venison, Elk, and other exotic meats as we find the best suppliers in the country.
