This week I got to try a Methodology meal with my family and delivered Methodology meals to two Macaroni Kid families! The verdict? Methodology meals are nutritious and delicious!

The Methodology boxes arrived when expected and were labeled for each family. The boxes were packed with recyclable cushioning and ice packs to keep the food fresh and protected during transit. Nestled within were glass jars containing freshly prepared food with heating instructions and ingredients listed clearly on the lids.

Each jar had a different component of our meal, which included pastured cilantro lime chicken meatballs, broccolini with coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil, cauliflower cakes with nigella seed, seasoned sweet potato fries, microgreens, micro flower mix, vanilla cashew protein bars, and cerermonial cacao grain-free brownie jar with raspberry frosting. Heating instructions were simple to follow and only took a few minutes either on the stove or in the microwave. The microgreens and micro flower mix were used to garnish the food, so it looked like we were dining in a nice restaurant!

My whole family tried our Methodology meal, even my 6-year-old who is rather picky. My 6-year-old's favorite part, of course, was the chocolate brownie with raspberry frosting, but he tried most of the other items as well, which is a win for me! My 10-year-old said he liked the meatballs and cauliflower cakes the best, and had second helpings of each. My husband and I noted the health benefits of the meal and were glad that the nutrition did not take away from the flavor. The meal was savory and well seasoned, while the dessert and snacks were sweet, yet light. And I especially love that Methodology is conscientious about their food and the environment.

A MESSAGE FROM METHODOLOGY
When it comes to healthy food, most people think of something that lacks flavor and is time consuming to prepare. Literally the worst combo for busy moms. But good nutrition is super important for growing kids and tired parents who could use all the extra energy they can get. That’s the pain point Methodology is working to solve.
We specialize in providing truly healthy and easy to prepare food (the whole process takes just 5 minutes per meal) for busy parents who believe that food is medicine. Our food comes pre-cooked and separated in Mix ‘n Match jars of sustainable proteins, locally-sourced vegetables, gluten-free starches, and made-from-scratch sauces so it’s easy to put together a home cooked meal. Just reheat the food on the stovetop (recommended for optimal taste) or in the microwave and it’s ready in under five minutes. No chopping, slicing, or cutting. Everything is ready to go, straight from the glass jar to the pan. Which means fewer dishes and faster cleanup as well.
The mix ‘n match jars are especially handy when everyone wants something different to eat or has a mix of allergy requirements. It’s easy to make meals that will make a meal that will make each person happy and address their individual needs without a huge time commitment.
Of course, saving time in the kitchen doesn’t really help if no one wants to eat the food. That’s why our team of chefs work tirelessly to ensure that each and every recipe we put out tastes incredible. We serve delightful spins on traditional healthy foods, including chicken meatballs, vegetable cakes, and sweet potato fries. And we also have healthier versions of comfort foods like beet pesto pasta, paleo brownies, and grain-free bagels with dairy-free cream cheese. There’s something that everyone can enjoy.
Sustainability is also big for our company. Our drivers pick up empty jars when they drop off fresh coolers to be reused or recycled.
Our food is:
- Gluten free
- Refined sugar free
- Trans fat free
We serve:
- Breakfasts
- Mix ‘n match jars for lunches and dinners
- Snacks
- Desserts
- Drink mixes
Pricing is flexible to your budget and is dependent on how much you order. Using Methodology for every part of your meal (protein, vegetables, sauces, toppings, etc) can add up to about $17-20 per meal. But because of the flexibility of the mix ‘n match jars, you can also just order the items are most time-consuming to prepare (i.e. adding one of our proteins and some of our pre-cooked vegetables to a salad or a rice bowl) and easily prepare a meal for $8-10 a meal.
Our system makes it easy to order food for any number of people and can accommodate almost any allergy. Our service is a weekly subscription and we deliver on Mondays and Thursdays to the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Ventura County, Orange County, San Diego, Portland, and the Seattle area.
