Rooted Answers

You’re here for clarity.

Here’s what to know before your first Rooted Clean Kitchen box so you can feel prepared and confident every step of the way.

  • Each box includes 3 or 5 full days of meals. If you choose the 3-day plan, you’ll receive 12 precooked meals and 3 sweet treats. If you choose the 5-day plan, you’ll receive 20 precooked meals and 5 sweet treats.

    All meals are prepared with clean ingredients - nothing overly processed or artificial.

    What’s inside:

    • 4 balanced, high-protein meals per day

    • 1 guilt-free sweet treat per day

    • Nutritional labels on every meal

    • Reusable or compostable containers

  • Yes! Every meal is fully prepared and ready to reheat. Heating instructions are included - no prep or cooking required.

  • No. Meals are made fresh the day before pickup and kept refrigerated - never frozen. We use real ingredients and recommend storing your meals in the refigerator and enjoying your meals within the suggested time frame for best quality.

    You may absolutely freeze any meals you want to enjoy at a later date.

  • Meals are packed in reusable or compostable containers. You’ll choose your preferred packaging type when ordering. Each meal is clearly labeled with the name, ingredients, nutritional info, and day number.

  • Nope! Meals are packed cold in an insulated Rooted Clean Kitchen box. As long as you refrigerate your box within an hour of pickup, you don’t need to bring a cooler or ice packs.

  • Meals stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep them chilled, and enjoy them anytime during the week. You’re welcome to freeze any meals you don’t plan to eat right away.

  • Rooted Clean Kitchen isn’t a weight loss program—but many people do lose weight by eating in a calorie deficit. It’s a lifestyle built around clean eating, portion control, and nourishing your body with real food. Whether your goal is weight loss, more energy, or just eating better without the stress, we’ve got you covered!

  • A calorie deficit means you’re eating fewer calories than your body burns in a day. It’s the key to fat loss—but it doesn’t have to mean restriction. Rooted Clean Kitchen meals make it easy to stay consistent, satisfied, and on track without counting every bite.

  • Everyone’s needs are different—it depends on your age, weight, activity level, and goals. Whether you’re looking to lose fat, build muscle, or maintain your weight, a free tool like TDEEcalculator.net can help you figure out your number. Once you have it, Rooted Clean Kitchen makes it simple to stay aligned with your plan.

  • Each meal is labeled with full ingredients so you always know what’s inside. While Rooted Clean Kitchen isn’t a certified allergen-free kitchen, we do avoid pork and stick to clean, simple ingredients. If you have a serious allergy or restriction, reach out before ordering so we can help you decide if it’s a good fit.

  • Not at the moment. Rooted Clean Kitchen offers a set menu each week to keep things fresh, balanced, and consistent. This also helps us prep efficiently and reduce food waste. That said, we’re always open to feedback—if there’s something you’d love to see on the menu, let us know!

  • The menu rotates every week to keep things fresh and exciting. You’ll see new meals regularly, with a few favorites making a comeback by popular demand.

  • Rooted Clean Kitchen is currently designed for individual, portion-controlled meals. While we don’t offer family-style plans yet, we’re exploring options—especially for parents looking to eat clean while feeding the whole household. Let us know if that’s something you’d love to see!

  • Not yet! For now, all orders are placed week to week so you can stay flexible. We’ll let you know when subscription options become available—you’ll never miss a box once they’re live. Follow us on Instagram or join our email list to stay in the loop.

  • Not yet. Right now, all Rooted Clean Kitchen orders are for local pickup only. Delivery may be added in the future—stay tuned on Instagram or join our email list to get updates!

  • Rooted Clean Kitchen offers two options: (1) reusable or (2) compostable containers.

    If you choose reusable containers, there is a one-time, refundable $20 deposit added to your first order. Containers are cleaned, sanitized, and rotated weekly. To keep your deposit, just return them within 2 weeks. The containers must be returned clean (free of leftover food) and in good condition (not cracked, melted, or moldy). If they are returned late or damaged, the deposit is forfeited.

    If you prefer compostable containers, no deposit is needed. Meals will come in single-use, plant-based containers that are microwave-safe and included in your regular meal price.

    You can switch between options at any time—just let us know before your next order!

  • Yes! Both our reusable and compostable containers are microwave-safe. Just remove the lid before heating, and you’re good to go!
