JANUARY 2025 38 A s we welcome 2025, prioritizing healthy eating may be on a few resolution lists. Valley delivery services offer a convenient way to enjoy nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner without the stress of planning or cooking. With various options tailored to specific dietary needs, these companies can help you stay on track throughout the year.  eatcleanphx.com Eat Clean Phx was founded in 2018 by Ryan and Brittany Powell. The family- owned and operated service stemmed from the duo’s experiences with national meal prep services. This prompted them to create a company specializing in organic, restaurant-quality, made-from-scratch dishes without seed oils. Eat Clean Phx doesn’t cater to specific diets but focuses on providing meals that families can enjoy while supporting a healthy lifestyle. They use organic, cold- pressed extra virgin olive oil for cooking. For those on the diet train, there are low- carb options for different preferences. New menus are posted and meals are delivered weekly. “Our pastas are customer favorites, but one of our all-time top sellers is the organic crispy lemon chicken, loved for its vibrant flavor and satisfying crunch,” Ryan said. “Our meals are designed with balanced macros and controlled portions, so you can enjoy delicious, nutrient-dense food without worrying about overeating.” Eat Clean Phx also offers a selection of 100 percent organic, cold-pressed juices. The G.O.A.T, and the MVP, are top sellers. Pricing varies depending on the menu item, but on average, “mains” are around $15 per meal. ECP offers a full breakfast menu and a la carte options sold by the pound. “Our mission has always been about more than food. It’s about creating a community centered around health, wellness, and trust. We pour our hearts into every dish, knowing that what we feed our families matters,” Ryan said. “It’s a privilege to provide meals that taste amazing and also nourish the body and soul. Seeing our customers thrive is the greatest reward of all.”  yourleanlifestyle.com Lean Lifestyle began in 2013 as a solution for individuals seeking convenient, healthy meal options tailored to their dietary goals. The business offers chef-prepared meals delivered to customers’ homes twice weekly on Sundays and Wednesdays. Using a subscription management website, clients choose from four meal plans (lifestyle, paleo, keto, or macro- focused) and customize dishes based on their preferences. Flexible scheduling allows users to adjust plans weekly or skip entire weeks as needed. “Lean Lifestyle’s mission is to simplify healthy eating, making it accessible for busy individuals and families,” owner Steve Fleming said. The customizable menu offers protein sizes up to six ounces per meal and one-off non-subscription ordering through the a la carte selection. Popular items include the Southwest breakfast bowl, island teriyaki bowl, yellow coconut curry bowl, Baja shrimp tacos, and açaí bowl. “Our easy solution allows customers to create an account, set preferences, and forget about the rest,” Fleming said. “Then, each week, we deliver amazing meals directly to you in refrigerated vans, insulated bags, and ice packs to ensure freshness.”  npdelivered.com Owner Mikey Mitschele founded Nature’s Purpose in 2016, thanks to his passion for nutrition and healthy living. After 10 years in corporate America and watching his grandpa live until he was 97 years old as a healthy and active Phoenix farmer, Mitschele realized he could live a healthier and happier life and provide a greater impact on those around him. Mikey and the team at Nature’s Purpose create healthy and affordable meals for grown-ups and kids. “Nature’s Purpose has become a staple in thousands of lives and continues to grow and thrive in the community, and that feels awesome,” Mitschele said. The made-from-scratch menu of 70+ items can be filtered for multiple dietary or allergy preferences (paleo, pescetarian, vegetarian, nut-free, dairy-free, gluten- free, etc.). Meals can also be filtered by size. Some of the most popular items include the gluten-free chicken egg roll bowl, spaghetti squash and turkey meatballs, and 100 percent organic, grass- fed steak with potatoes and carrots, topped with truffle aioli. Meals are priced individually, ranging from $8 for smaller breakfasts and lunches to $18 for larger lunches, dinners, and the organic menu. Orders are placed online each week and delivered directly to your home, office, or gym. New meals are added weekly. Retail locations and website subscriptions are coming in 2025.  thevegantaste.com The Vegan Taste is one option for those who want to try a fully plant-based diet in the New Year. Founded in 2006 by vegan Chef Jason Wyrick, The Vegan Taste delivers healthy meals to subscribers’ doorsteps. “In 2001, my life changed when I got diagnosed with diabetes. I quickly transitioned to a healthy, plant-based diet and completely reversed my diabetes without the use of medication,” Wyrick said. “I knew people needed healthy, sustainable food that never compromised on flavor, so I became a chef and started The Vegan Taste, which is now the longest-running plant-based meal delivery service.” Meals are fully prepared and ready to heat and eat. PK Newby, also known as “The Nutrition Doctor,” consults on the menus and ensures that each has the right ingredients for optimal nutrition. The Vegan Taste centers around the Blue Zone philosophy. All meals are 100 percent vegan, and nearly all ingredients are organic, GMO-free, and ethically sourced when possible. The menu changes weekly and covers cuisines from around the world, with dishes like French dip, lasagna, quesabirria veggie tacos, and Tuscan harvest stew. Special requests for gluten-free, oil-free, extra spicy, and faux-meat-free dishes can also be made. New orders must be placed by Thursday, and deliveries are every Monday. A six-meal package is available for $93, or a 12-meal package is available for $156. The 12-meal plan includes double servings of the six dishes prepared every week.  thesimplechefs.com The Simple Chefs, founded in 2017 by Alaina O’Donnell and Shannon Ward, started as a small business inspired by Alaina’s health journey. After struggling with hormonal imbalances and burnout while working as a physician assistant, Alaina started a Whole30 diet, which led to improved energy, weight loss, and better sleep. Encouraged by the positive changes, she and Shannon began experimenting with alternative ingredients and eventually sold their meals to family and friends. “I rarely do anything less than 100 percent, so within months, The Simple Chefs was born,” Alaina said. “By 2020, we were ready to take the chance and invest in ourselves full-time.” Over the years, the business expanded, reaching over $1 million in sales and launching a second concept, Simply Fit, which provides macro-based meals. The Simple Chefs offers a variety of diets, including paleo, vegetarian, and “wildcard” options, emphasizing portion control and home-cooked meals. They provide weekly delivery, with two menus released – a larger one on Mondays and smaller one on Thursdays, and no subscription is required. “Without question, our most popular item is the pot roast entree, and it has been since day one,” Alaina said. “It is a version of the one I grew up with replaced with paleo ingredients. Even after several menu expansions, that item has never changed.” Other popular dishes include beef stroganoff and chicken pot pie. Pricing is $14/meal for three-four meals, $13/ meal for five-nine meals and $12/meal for 10+ meals. Alaina and Shannon remain connected to their Arcadia roots, and are offering a standing discount code (ARCADIA) that will apply a 10 percent discount any time a customer orders.
