Sun Basket Expands Its Healthy Personal Choice Platform with Three New Meal Plans and 18 Weekly Recipes

In its quest to offer consumers the most healthy personalized meal plans to fit their lifestyle, Sun Basket today announced the addition of three new meal plans: Vegan, Pescatarian, and Mediterranean. In addition, the company has expanded the total number of weekly recipes to 18. With the option to order two, three, or four recipes per week, choose premium proteins on select meals, double up on recipes for entertaining or leftovers, and select from eight custom meal plans, customers now have unrivaled healthy personal choices on Sun Basket.

"Our new Vegan, Pescatarian, and Mediterranean menus are a direct result of our customers' strongly expressed interest," said Adam Zbar, CEO and Co-Founder of Sun Basket. "Our Executive Chef, R&D chefs, and in-house dietitians carefully craft these recipes using fresh organic produce, responsibly sourced meats and seafood, and sustainable ingredients from the best providers. We are committed to bringing consumers the variety and convenience they want and need to cook and eat healthy, no matter what their dietary needs are."

Created by Executive Chef Justine Kelly, the former Head Chef at the Slanted Door, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant, each of the three new meal plans offers nutritionally balanced meals and globally inspired flavors, made with organic produce and sustainable ingredients, and delivered in low-impact packaging.

• Vegan Menu: Created for consumers who want to eat a plant-based diet without compromising on flavor or taste, the Vegan menu offers recipes free from meats, eggs, dairy, and other products sourced from animals, such as honey and gelatin. Each recipe is crafted with seasonal, organic produce and plant-based proteins (including organic, non-GMO tofu). Nutritional guidelines include:
  • Calories: 550-800 calories per meal
  • High in Protein: At least 15 grams per meal
  • Good Fats: Focus on good fats coming from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid sources including olive, nuts, seeds and avocados
  • High in Fiber: Lots of fruits and vegetables with 5 grams or more of fiber per serving
  • Sodium: Most recipes below 800 mg
• Pescatarian Menu: The essential meal plan for consumers who prefer a plant-based diet combined with a healthy dose of seafood, the Pescatarian menu combines organic produce with omega-3-rich wild-caught seafood recommended by The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program for sustainable sourcing. Nutritional guidelines include:
  • Calories: 550-800 calories per meal
  • High in Protein: At least 20-25 grams per meal
  • Good Fats: Focus on good fats coming from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid sources including olive, nuts, seeds and avocados
  • High in Fiber: Lots of fruits and vegetables with 5 grams or more of fiber per serving
  • Sodium: Most recipes below 800 mg
• Mediterranean Menu: Based on one of the world's most widely recognized healthy diets, Sun Basket's Mediterranean meal plan focuses on healthy fats and an abundance of seasonal produce. These recipes contain the best fresh herbs and spices, legumes, whole grains, dairy, and lean protein sources like poultry or fish. U.S. News & World Reportrecently named the Mediterranean diet as the Best Diet Overall, Best Diet for Healthy Eating, and Easiest Diet to Follow. Nutritional guidelines include:
  • Calories: 550-800 calories per meal
  • High in Protein: At least 20-25 grams per meal
  • Good Fats: Focus on good fats coming from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid sources including olive, nuts, seeds and avocados

  • Sodium: Most recipes below 800 mg

As always, customers are free to build their own menus from the full selection of recipes. In the spirit of those pursuing flexitarian, reducetarian, or "chegan" (vegans who cheat) options, Sun Basket's menu of 18 recipes a week allows all customers to customize their menu to perfectly suit their dietary needs.
