More than just high protein — Hero Meals provide complete nutrition, designed for health and longevity. Maximum nutrient profile, undeniably delicious, and zero compromises. We're talking 40–50g of high-density protein, 10g+ fiber, controlled calories (400-650kcal), 10+ unique plant ingredients per bowl, careful sodium levels (<850g per meal), and better fats from avocado. olive oil, and algae oils. Whole foods always. No ultra processed anything. Available every single week.
Healthy eating should evolve alongside nutrition science.
Over the last several years, we’ve watched the conversation around nutrition shift dramatically. Protein has become the center of the conversation – and for good reason. It supports satiety, muscle health, recovery, and healthy aging, and many people could benefit from eating more of it.
But when we looked at the market, we saw tradeoffs everywhere.
Protein Without the Tradeoffs
Most high protein meals achieve impressive protein numbers by increasing calories, sodium, saturated fat, refined sugars, or heavily processed ingredients, while sacrificing fiber and plant diversity. In the pursuit of one macro, other important aspects of health are too often left behind.
At the same time, many meals built around whole foods, veggies, and fiber – including some of our own – deliver impressive nutritional quality but fall short on meaningful protein and the lasting satiety that comes from putting protein at the center of the plate.
The market seemed to force a choice, but we didn’t think people should have to choose. So we started with a simple question: what if we pushed protein higher while also holding every other nutritional standard to an even higher bar? What if people didn’t have to choose between hitting their protein goals and getting complete, balanced nutrition to support the rest of their health goals?
Why We Created Hero Meals
Hero Meals are our answer. Every macro. Every ingredient. Nothing is random. Not just another high protein meal.
These meals are heroic by design – carefully formulated to rise to the occasion with the kind of nutrition people want and science supports: high protein and fiber, diverse plants, controlled calories, better fats, and zero added sugar, all working together in one meal, designed to support satiety, maintaining muscle, steady energy, gut health, and long-term wellbeing.
Hero Meals mean 40–50g of high-density protein (for our nutrition nerds, some of our Hero Meals have 10g of protein per 100 kcal), 10g+ fiber, and 10+ unique plant ingredients per bowl. Controlled calories (400-650). Careful sodium levels (<850g per meal). Better fats from ingredients like avocado and olive oil. And as always, nothing but whole foods engineered to work harder for your body. No ultra processed anything.
Hero Meals prove that people no longer have to choose between high protein and balanced nutrition. They are the meals we wish existed. Now they do, and we are so excited to share them with you.
Meet Your Hero Meals
Roast Pork Supper
A Hero Meal built for true staying power. Slow-roasted pork loin, brined in apple juice for natural sweetness and depth, is paired with a crispy twice-baked potato rosti, seeded caraway cabbage, and a bright apple-fennel mostarda. Every element is intentional – balancing protein, fiber, and healthy fats for a deeply satisfying, nutritionally complete dinner.
Crispy Tofu Bibimbap
A plant-forward Hero Meal built on bold Korean-inspired flavors and complete nutrition.
