    We email and text you this week's menu so you can choose your meals.

  3. Thursday · 2:00 PM

Good to know

A few details that help.

  • Your renewal date

    Your account shows the next renewal date in your own time zone. Charges always happen Thursday at 2:00 PM Pacific.

  • Failed payment?

    We'll email and text you, then try once more Friday morning. If it fails again, that week is skipped and your plan continues the next week.

  • No modifications

    Meals are made in batches, so ingredient swaps and changes aren't available. Check allergens before choosing.
