Simply pick the 5 meals you want delivered/picked up for the week from our menu. If you don’t want to choose your own meal select “chefs choice” and our team will choose for you.   Each week, you will need to place your order and select your meals by Sunday at 11:59pm CST so that we are able to source the freshest ingredients to craft your meals. If you are placing your order after the Sunday at 11:59 pm EST deadline, your order will automatically be scheduled for the following week.

B’Gabs does not provide an automated service, so you will need to order your meals each week for delivery or pick up

Sorry, no we don’t offer customization.  However all ingredients are listed for each meal so that you can consciously choose the best meal for you. Ingredients are also on the label, which is attached to each meal, and you can always email us at teambgabs@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Our meals are prepared as a single serving and are packaged individually so that you can easily grab a prepared meal to take to work for lunch or you can also enjoy them for dinner. Though they are packaged individually, many of our clients tell us that our meals can last them 1 – 1.5 meals.

All of our meals are made fresh every week, and because we never use any artificial preservatives, we recommend that our clients eat their meals within 5-6 days of delivery. Though some of our meals may last longer than that. Of course, we always suggest that you trust your own judgement.

To make it even easier for you, we will also mark the meals that are best enjoyed in the earlier part of the week, to help guide you, although it is ultimately your decision. If you’re unable to eat all of your meals within the given time frame, you can choose to freeze them if you’d like.

However, we don’t typically recommend freezing the meals, as it will change the quality and texture of your meals. If you do decide to freeze your meals, we recommend freezing meals like soups or curries only.

Your meals will arrive on Thursday.  For pick up meal you will specify which day and time you will pick up. All meals are delivered in brown bags and can be left for you if you state that in the notes sections.  We do recommend that someone is home for the delivery especially during hot months.

Currently B’Gabs is delivering as far north as Evanston, As far west as Oak Park and as far south as Beverly with the lake being the natural eastern cut off.

Unlike meal-kit companies that ship ingredients for you to cook, our chefs fully prepare the meals for you, so all you have to do is heat ( stovetop, or oven) and enjoy. There’s no prep required! We want you spending more time doing the things you love.

Reuse or Recycle the packaging

Your meals will arrive either on Wednesday or Thursday.

Yes – each meal comes in a microwave-safe container with specific instructions on how to enjoy your meal. Some dishes may be eaten cold, others may require some quick heating on the stovetop or in the oven, and many will include a sauce and some garnishes 

Currently, we provide stovetop and oven instructions.

Nope. Our boxes are insulated and delivered with ice packs so that your meals will stay fresh for you when you get home.

We believe that the healthiest diet is a well-balanced one full of variety and rooted in eating clean, whole foods, with an emphasis on whole plants and no guilt. It starts with organic fruits and vegetables packed with nutrients and antioxidants. We also love protein-packed, iron-filled legumes along with nutrient-dense grains that help make vegan meals feel a bit more hearty. In addition, we keep oil and sodium at a minimum. We use simple, clean ingredients to add flavor to all our meals. We believe that cleaning eating will support your bodies proper functioning, make you feel less dense, and leave you full of energy.

B’Gabs started with the mission to make it easier for others to live and maintain a healthier lifestyle. We want to be your personal chef and nutritionist, so our weekly meal delivery service is perfect for those busy individuals who don’t have time to cook every night, vegans working to maintain their diet, or anyone trying to jumpstart their healthier lifestyle with plant-based meals.

Meals will typically range from about 300 – 650 calories per dish, but our focus is always on nutrient-dense whole foods first, not calories as we believe not all calories are equal.

Yes – always, we do not use animal products in any of our meals. It doesn’t matter if you’re vegan, omnivore, or otherwise, we believe that everyone can benefit by incorporating more plants in their diet, plus good food taste good.

Quality sourcing is very critical to the B’Gabs team.  Although we do source USDA organic produce, we also strive to work locally as often as possible with urban/local farms.  These local farms may not be USDA certified but you can best believe their growing practices are.  Occasionally, no matter how hard we try, we have to substitute or use a non organic item or leave an items out completely if it doesn’t reach our standard.

Many are but not all.  Items will be marked for your convenience.  Keep in mind that even gluten free meals are not cooked in a gluten free environment so use your best judgement based on your personal situation.

We always keep both sodium and oil at a minimum for our meals, however we do use it. We do take care to only use high quality ingredients that are non GMO/Organic where possible.

At B’Gabs we believe food is an experience and is subjective.  As much as we want everyone to adore our food we understand that people have different pallets and that we can’t please everyone. 

That being said, if you have any issues please email us (teambgabs@gmail.com) with a photo of the food and statement of challenge and we will assess if we can provide a resolution. 

Keep in mind that all meals are made fresh and never frozen, so for the best experience, please eat your meals within 5-6 days of receiving.
