Weak, tired, still technically thin?

That's not success. That's muscle loss talking.
Protein-forward meals fix what the scale can't tell you.

The season that eats your routine, literally.

Meal prep isn't another to-do. It's the thing that keeps everything else from falling apart.

Some weeks call for the classics. Others invite you to explore. This one will happily do both. 🌿🔥

The week ahead will move between familiar, craveable flavors and dishes inspired by culinary traditions from around the world—sometimes rich and comforting, sometimes fiery and aromatic, with plenty of fresh vegetables and vibrant accompaniments along the way.

Chef’s Choice will have an especially impressive range. Garlic and cracked pepper will set a savory tone before Buffalo heat, honey mustard, and marinara bring three very different takes on familiar favorites. By Wednesday, the passport comes out: glossy teriyaki, aromatic tandoori spices, smoky al pastor, and slow-smoked turkey will make the second half of the menu feel like an entirely new experience.

Executive Meals will play that same balancing act from a more restaurant-inspired perspective. Mongolian-style beef and sweet-and-sour pork will deliver layers of savory sweetness, while chicken pot pie and traditional meatloaf lean into timeless classics. Harissa with lemon and cooling cucumber yogurt will brighten things up before miso and ginger bring a deeply savory finish.

Plant-Based will continue to show just how much territory meatless cooking can cover. Tangy Buffalo flavor and creamy slaw will satisfy the comfort-food craving, fragrant korma will surround blackened tofu with warming spice, and an Ethiopian-inspired wrap will showcase the slow-building complexity of richly seasoned lentils and vegetables.

📅 Reminder: Scratch Culinary deliveries are now on Mondays and Wednesdays!

Will you stick with a familiar favorite or use next week to try something a little more adventurous?

Sweet heat, island-inspired flavors, fragrant spices, and fresh herbs will make for one seriously well-traveled menu. 🌎🌿

There’s a playful sense of contrast running through the week ahead. Tropical fruit will meet smoky chiles, aromatic spices will mingle with bright herbs and citrus, and familiar favorites will share the table with dishes inspired by kitchens from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean and Asia.

Chef’s Choice will bring plenty of sunshine to the plate with Caribbean-braised beef, sweet chile and coconut, chipotle-pineapple, and sweet jalapeño flavors. Barbacoa will add slow-cooked depth, while Greek-inspired souvlaki and simply herb-roasted turkey will offer a fresh, savory counterpoint to the bolder dishes.

Executive Meals will split its personality between satisfying classics and globe-trotting flavor. Mongolian-style beef and sweet-and-sour pork will bring savory-sweet intensity, while chicken pot pie and traditional meatloaf will keep things familiar. Harissa, lemon, cucumber yogurt, miso, and ginger will then send the menu in an entirely different—and delicious—direction.

Plant-Based will have no shortage of personality either. A Buffalo-inspired sandwich will layer tangy heat with creamy slaw and crisp pickles, aromatic korma will pair blackened tofu with potatoes and peas, and an Ethiopian-inspired wrap will bring the deeply spiced character of Misr Wat together with savory Tikil Gomen.

📅 And don't forget: our new delivery schedule is officially here! Going forward, Scratch Culinary deliveries will arrive on Mondays and Wednesdays.

What will be calling your name first—something smoky and spicy, bright and herbaceous, or rich and savory?

Lost the weight. Still feel weak? 👀

GLP-1s can take the muscle along with the fat if protein isn't dialed in. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, doesn't matter which one. Less appetite means every bite has to work harder to protect what you've built.

Most people focus on the number on the scale. The ones who feel strong months later are the ones protecting their protein intake, meal by meal, not trying to catch up in one sitting.

We build custom meal plans for GLP-1 users so your body stays strong while the weight comes off. Real food, real macros, done for you.

On a GLP-1? Here's what your plate actually needs.

Small portions. Protein first. No wasted calories on food that doesn't work for you.
