Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

What is meal assembly?
While personal chefs are a great luxury for busy people, few of us can afford their high prices. That's where our meal assembly service comes in! On your scheduled session date and time, you simply come to Healthy Habits Kitchen where all the ingredients are ready and waiting. You go from station to station, assembling meals according to the easy-to-follow instructions. Then you wrap and label your meals and take them home. It's a quick, simple and fun way to prepare your meals weeks in advance.

If I don't want to order meals in advance, can I stop by and pick up a meal that is already assembled for me?
Healthy Habits Kitchen keeps an inventory of preassembled, refrigerated meals that you can cook tonight, or frozen meals you can defrost and cook another night. We call it grab and go.

How much notice does Healthy Habits Kitchen need?
We would like to know at least 48 hours in advance but we usually have enough food to accommodate that last minute order—the website will not let you order meals if you place your order less than 48 hours in advance. If it's less than 48 hours give us a call to see if there is enough food for your order.
