Ambrosia’s Meal Prep Service

Why is the immune system important?

Your immune system plays a vital role in your body—simply put, it protects you from harmful substances, germs, and cell changes that cause illnesses/diseases/dysfunctions. Using the power of food as medicine prevents, reduces risk, and can even reverse chronic diseases, illnesses, and body dysfunctions. Strengthening the immune system through our functional medicine meals allows you to get to the root cause of mental and physical illness.

WHat does “anti-inflammatory” mean and why is it important?

Inflammation is your body’s protective mechanism that helps you defend itself against infection, illness, or injury. However, inflammation quickly becomes harmful when it is chronic (long-term) because it leads to various other health problems, such as heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer, dementia, anxiety, depression, obesity, and so on. Foods that cause inflammation include sugars, refined oils, processed/packaged foods, and alcohol, which is common among the Standard American Diet. At Ambrosia, we formulate our meals with whole, nutrient-dense foods high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that naturally reduce total body inflammation.

what is a functional ingredient?

A functional ingredient contains a wealth of health benefits! Not only do these specific ingredients help you stay healthy, but they can reduce, prevent, and even reverse chronic diseases/illnesses/body dysfunctions. They have healing and medicinal benefits.

DOes it come ready to eat?

Yes. Time is the most valuable asset anyone can have and we strive to give you more time and energy in your day by doing all the thinking, preparing, cooking, and delivery for you. Meals are made fresh per order and pre-packaged for delivery to your door. Hassle free, filled with benefits, and tasty flavors with just a click of a button.

How many calories are in your meals?

Each meal varies in calories—anywhere from 300-550 calories. As we know counting calories can feel mentally taxing & cause underlying stress, so we aim to make all our meals with high-quality, clean, & fresh ingredients to provide you with an abundance of essentials nutrients, so you can trust & rely that your health is in the best hands.

Do you use organic, Grass-fed, or Wild-caught Meat/seafood?

Yes. Ambrosia uses grass-fed/organic meat, and wild-caught seafood. “Junk meat” contains antibiotics and added hormones, which contribute to body inflammation, so it’s important that we ensure quality standards.

How do i heat up my meal?

All meals can be microwaved. Remove lid and place in microwave for 60-90 seconds depending on the temperature you prefer. Each bowl is microwave and dishwasher safe, so no need to transfer to another dish, unless you prefer to do so. To avoid any potential splattering inside microwave, place a napkin/paper towel over your meal. Certain meals should be enjoyed cold, for example, the Overnight Oats and Chia Pudding.

Yes, all bowls are microwave & dishwasher safe, as well as BPA-free. Our meals are not packed when food is hot. Food is properly cooled prior to packing. Remove lid prior to placing in the microwave.

Can i re-heat on the stovetop?

Yes. Transfer meal into a pan on low-medium heat and cover with a lid until heat reaches desired temperature. You may need to add a non-stick spray or oil to keep from sticking to the pan.

how long do meals last once delivered?

Meals last in the refrigerator between 5-6 days. You can extend the shelf life up to 6 months by storing in the freezer. The only thing we do not recommend freezing is rice.
