Protein boxes, made fresh: how we cook them and why they pair with your daily drink

Five boxes a week of chicken, lean beef or salmon, cooked in small batches in Birmingham. Here is what goes in them, how to use them across a week, and why they sit so well next to the daily drink.

A good week rarely falls apart because of one big decision. It falls apart at 7pm on a Wednesday, when you are tired, the fridge is uninspiring and something quick wins.

That is the gap the protein boxes are built for.

What is in a box

Every box is cooked in small batches here in Birmingham and packed the same day.

Chicken — seasoned and grilled, portioned for a full meal

Lean beef — trimmed, slow-cooked for tenderness

Salmon — baked, with a light seasoning that does not overpower the fish

Your choice of side: rice or sweet potato

No mystery sauces, no filler. Just protein, a side and seasoning you can pronounce.

Five boxes, one week

Plans come as five boxes a week, which is deliberate. Five covers the weekday evenings — the ones most likely to go sideways — and leaves the weekend for cooking properly, eating out, or doing nothing at all.

If you would rather not eat the same protein five nights running, the mixed box rotates chicken, beef and salmon across the week.

Why it pairs with the drink

The drink is a morning habit. The box is an evening one. Together they bookend a day without asking you to overhaul anything in the middle.

That is what the Meal Deal Plan is: five drinks and five boxes for one week, at a lower price than buying each separately. One collection, one routine, two ends of the day covered.

Collecting

Everything is collected fresh from B6 7BS on your chosen day. Boxes are ready chilled and keep well in the fridge across the week — reheat and eat.

Start small

If you are not sure, start with a single protein plan and add extras as you go. Add-on boxes are there for the weeks you need a sixth or seventh meal, and you can change your plan whenever you like.

Habits stick when they are easy. That is the whole point.
