You do not need to eat a fully plant-based diet to become my client. Most of my clients aren’t eating a fully vegan diet. iBut they all benefit from having anywhere from 2 to 4 days’ worth of healthy clean meals prepared for them.

Yes, you absolutely will!

Plant-based foods are very rich in protein.

The key to getting enough protein on a plant-based diet is to eat a vast variety of dark green leafy greens, grains, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds. I design my menus and dishes accounting for at least 9 essential amino acids, which we all need. These amino acids are plentifully present in all my recipes.

Our bodies do not need as much protein as we are made to believe.

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 my ongoing weekly personal chef services.

I also accommodate less frequent requests such as bi-weekly meal preparations on once-a-month cooking requests.

Becoming my weekly retainer client gives you a major advantage as I get to know your needs, preferences, and wellness goals better and tailor to your with more personalization.

My services are priced per service day plus the cost of the ingredients billed separately.

My service day rate usually starts at $300, which includes 3 to 4 different dinner meals (mains + sides), anywhere from 3 to 4 servings each.

This rate also includes my time for menu creation and customization, my time shopping for the ingredients, the cost of gas, chef insurance coverage, actual cooking time, and kitchen clean-up after the cooking.

Once you try my cooking and would like to continue working with me, you can become my retainer client.

My retainer clients benefit the most by working weekly. This includes a dedicated workday I reserve just for you.

The monthly retainer fee is paid upfront and offers an attractive discount.

As my retainer client, you receive my highest level of attention, personalization, and high-priority attendance to your dietary needs.

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