You do not need to be eating a fully vegan diet to hire me as your meal prep chef. Think about it as expanding your menu with just 2 to 5 days’ worth of new comforting meals.

Yes, you absolutely will! Plant-based foods are very rich in healthy proteins. The key to getting plant-based protein, is to eat a variety of plants, greens, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds. In fact, our bodies do not need that much protein. Best ratio for a healthy diet for a daily calorie intake is 10%-15% fat, 15-20% protein, 70% healthy carbs. I make sure to rotate and prepare a vast variety of vegetables in order to get enough protein with each meal. My nourishing and well-balanced meals that will not leave you hungry.

According to the CDC: “Generally, patients on a plant-based diet are not at risk for protein deficiency. Proteins are made up of amino acids, some of which, called essential amino acids, cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from food. Essential amino acids are found in meat, dairy products, and eggs, as well as many plant-based foods, such as quinoa.

Essential amino acids can also be obtained by eating certain combinations of plant-based foods. Examples include brown rice with beans, and hummus with whole wheat pita.

Therefore, a well-balanced, plant-based diet will provide adequate amounts of essential amino acids and prevent protein deficiency.

Soybeans and foods made from soybeans are good sources of protein and may help lower levels of low-density lipoprotein in the blood and reduce the risk of hip fractures and some cancers.” Read the full article here.

Most clients benefit from the ongoing weekly meal prep.

I can accommodate less frequent services on weekly or monthly basis depending on my availability.

Working with a personal chef differs from ordering portioned meals from well-established take-out places or eating in restaurants.

My services are either based on an hourly rates or on a flat monthly fee as a retainer client.

Becoming my retainer-based client has the most benefits to you. You not only get a discounted flat-fee, but also receive my highest level of attention, personalization, and high-priority attendance to your dietary needs.

As a personal chef, I cater to you.

Each menu is designed to satisfy your health goals while cooking with your favorite ingredients.

With all the high level of personalization, personal chef rates are not really translatable into “price per meal”. It is a luxury service to help you save your time on the chores of cooking.

I customize my offers based on your specific needs, number of meals requested, servings per meals, and your budget.
