Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering & Portions

Are the portions meant for one person?
- Yes. All meals are portioned as individual, single-serving meals designed for one person and thoughtfully balanced to be satisfying and nourishing.
How many meals should I order per week?
- That depends on your schedule and needs. Many clients order 4–6 meals per week, while others prefer a full week of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. You’re welcome to start small and adjust over time.
Are meals individual or family-style?
- Our standard offering is individual meals. Family-style options are available if you order more than one serving of a dish and would prefer all components packaged in separate containers .
Can I mix and match dishes and proteins?
- Yes. You’re welcome to mix and match meals from the weekly menu based on your preferences. To do this, you can order the different dishes you would like and choose the family-style packaging option so you can create your own plate at home.

Can meals be made gluten-free?
- Yes. Any meal can be prepared gluten-free upon request.
- Please note that our kitchen handles all major allergens, including gluten. While we follow strict sanitation procedures, cross-contamination is still possible. If you have celiac disease or a severe gluten allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss how to best support you.
Do you offer low-carb options?
- Yes. For any meal, you may substitute the starch with an extra serving of non-starchy vegetables.
Can I make substitutions within a meal?
- Starch-to-vegetable substitutions are always available. Other substitutions may be possible depending on the dish—feel free to reach out with specific requests.
Do you accommodate vegetarian or dairy-free diets?
- Yes. We regularly offer vegetarian options and can accommodate dairy-free preferences. Dietary notes can be added as special requests when you add an item to your cart.
What about food allergies?
- We do our best to accommodate allergies; however, because all allergens are present in our kitchen, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. For severe allergies, please contact us directly before ordering.

Are meals fresh or frozen?
- Meals are delivered fresh, never frozen.
Where are the meals prepared?
- All meals are prepared from scratch in our fully licensed commercial kitchen.
What kind of ingredients do you use?
- We prioritize high-quality, organic ingredients whenever possible and focus on seasonal, thoughtfully sourced produce and proteins.
How long do meals last?
- Each meal is labeled with a clear “Eat By” date. For best quality and food safety, we recommend enjoying meals within that timeframe. Our fish and seafood dishes have the shortest eat by date, usually 3 days after being prepared. The rest of our dishes have a longer shelf-life with some lasting as long as 7 days after preparation.

What do I do with the containers?
- Please rinse and wash your containers, then place them back in your delivery bag.
- If you have a future order scheduled, we’ll collect them at your next delivery.
- If you don’t have an upcoming order, you may schedule a container return. Leave the bag by your doorstep, and we’ll pick it up the following Monday. To schedule a container return, email us @laura@peakperformancekitchen.com or go to our weekly menu ordering page and add the container return service to your cart (free of charge!) and checkout to confirm your container return.
Why do you reuse containers?
- Reusing containers helps reduce waste and supports our commitment to sustainability while keeping costs down for clients. Please note, we clean and sanitize all containers before reusing them.

When are deliveries made?
- Deliveries take place on Mondays. Schedules may vary slightly during holidays.
Do I need to be home for delivery?
- No. We include ice packs in all the bags to maintain them under 41°F. However, we do recommend placing the meals in the refrigerator shortly after delivery. If you won't be home, we recommend leaving a cooler out with extra ice packs or ice to make sure your meals stay cool until you get home.
What happens during holidays?
- Holiday delivery schedules are communicated in advance via email and on the ordering page.
Where do you deliver?
- We primarily serve Boulder and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether we deliver to your location, feel free to reach out.

When is the menu posted and when is the weekly order deadline?
- The menu for the following week is posted on Mondays at 11:00AM. The weekly order deadline is on Thursdays at 1:00PM. Orders must be placed before the cutoff to be included in the upcoming delivery.
Can I change or cancel my order?
- Changes or cancellations must be made before the weekly order deadline. After that point, meals are already in production.
What if I forget to order?
- If ordering has closed, you can place an order for the following week once the menu is posted! We recommend setting a reminder or joining our email list to receive our reminder emails. We send reminder emails on Mondays and Wednesdays.
