Protein and Green

HEALTHY MEAL PREP DELIVERED TWICE WEEKLY
Protein & Green is my ultimate #lifehack, «A tool or technique that makes some aspect of one’s life easier or more efficient.”-Urban Dictionary
WHO: Jennifer Honea is the creative force behind Protein & Green. She is a culinary school trained chef who worked in various fine dining restaurants. She prepares her meals in a commercial kitchen and knows how to make healthy food taste great without unwanted fat/​sugar etc.
WHAT: 90% of her meals are PALEO, and when she does use grains, it’s usually stuff like quinoa or whole wheat tortillas. She never uses white sugar or white flour. She will instead use almond flour and agave or honey as a natural sweetener. My favorites have been things like salmon & asparagus, chicken tenders (gluten free!) and sweet potato mash, and asian turkey meatballs. Each container has a label with total calories and each ingredient listed so you know exactly what you’re putting into your body.
WHERE: currently she delivers 3 (different) already cooked but refrigerated meals on Monday and 2 (different) ones on Wednesday in the Honolulu area. Having prepared meals delivered to me is one less thing I have to worry about. I already have to pack lunches and snacks for the kids, so having her is like my personal lunch angel.
HOW: You can order from her directly by emailing or calling the number listed on the flyer. She also sells her snacks like Bacon dark chocolate protein balls, zucchini brownies, and other delicious gluten free desserts (one time I even scored some paleo mango muffins!) at Jugo Life Juicery on King Street, which is where I first found her salads.
PRICE: approx $ 58/​week (5 lunches) or approx $ 200/​month.
Could I make the same dishes myself? Sometimes yes, and probably cheaper, but again this is a #lifehack, and the reason I like this service is that I don’t have to buy the stuff, make a mess, wash the dishes, and pack it up. When I do my own meal prep, I end up eating the same thing for 5 days in a row for lunch and dinner which gets pretty boring. Some days I used to buy lunch anyway because I didn’t want to eat what I brought for lunch. Now I look forward to lunch, because it’s the best meal of my entire workday.
Protein and Green lunch boxes are great because they are 1) free of sugar 2) free of artificial processed foods (no kanak attack!), and 3) packed with enough protein to keep me full for the rest of the afternoon. I wish she could cook every single meal for me.

Let’s be honest: meal prepping totally sucks. The shopping, the cooking, the dishes and cleaning up… I despise it. Enter, Protein and Green! Her food is gluten-​free and paleo. It’s delicious and affordable!
You can purchase five meals weekly or order for the whole month. Every Monday and Wednesday you receive a delivery of fresh, delicious meals and literally you just have to reheat and eat!
There wasn’t one meal I didn’t enjoy so far and I have always felt completely satisfied by the portion sizes.
Here is more information from a recent email:
Weekly rates will be a standard $ 58; If you are interested in ordering monthly, we would like to offer a 10% discount.
Also, we are excited to announce that Jugo Life now supports Protein & Green at their organic juice bar! They will be selling products out of their storefront which include snacks and salads that are offered only to the store so be sure to stop by to check out their large variety of juices and snacks.
We have also revised our delivery routes to allow all areas to be reached for drop offs but are unfortunately staying withing the following ranges so that we can reduce travel time as well:
Makiki area: Mondays and Wednesday at 8am
Mililani and Aiea: Mondays and Wednesdays at 9am
Downtown Area to Kapiolani Blvd: Mondays and Wednesdays at 10am
Manoa: Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:30−11am
Waikiki: Mondays and Wednesdays at 12 noon
*Please note: If you are unable to receive meals at this time as I know it can difficult to always meet these set times, we also offer the option of picking up your meals weekly (Sundays and Wednesdays as they are not open Mondays), at Jugo Life on King Street, next door to Da Spot.
Thank you again for your continued support throughout our growth and changes!
