Frequently Asked Questions

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is the gold standard of elimination diets which omits all potential inflammatory foods from your diet (nuts, seeds, eggs, grain, soy, dairy, additives, sugar, legumes, nightshades etc). Once you have elimated potentially irritating foods, some may add the elimated foods back into their diets, one at a time to see which makes you react, which foods cause your autoimmune disease to flare up, or any other negative symptoms. Learn more here. The Paleo diet is based on the theory that by eating foods similar to that of our early ancestors, we can lead healthier lives and prevent many of the common diseases that plague modern culture due to the introduction of grains, refined sugars, and processed foods. Learn more here.

The Paleo/AIP lifestyle focuses on removing any inflammatory foods to support overall digestion. As such, dairy can be a major irritant for the gut. Many people find dairy hard to digest, leading to inflammation. Commercial dairy also contains added hormones and antibiotics, which are harmful to our bodies. Many people find they feel better when they remove dairy from their diet. Reactions to dairy are very individualized but can range from bloating to acne or eczema to more severe reactions. To meet the needs of as many of our customers as possible, dairy ingredients are not used in Paleo On The Go products.

Expect to eat pasture raised meats from sustainable farms, wild-caught seafood, healthy fats (avoiding all industrial vegetable oils and hydrogenated oils including canola oil and stick with stable animal fats and coconut oil), a lot of vegetables, and some fruits (organic when possible). Try to processed foods and just stick to eating real food.

"The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic! Research in biology, biochemistry, Ophthalmology, Dermatology and many other disciplines indicate it is our modern diet, full of refined foods, trans fats, and sugar, that is at the root of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, depression and infertility". - Robb Wolf

Safe foods: animal protein and fat; all vegetables, herbs, spices, and fruits that are not in the nightshade family; coconut, avocado, and olive oils; and sea salt.

Most strict elimination List: Nuts and Seeds, Coffee, Chocolate, Seed-Based Spices (like cumin, peppercorns), All nightshades (peppers, paprika, tomato, potato, eggplant), Beans (even green beans), Grains (all grains, even white rice), Gluten, Sugar and artificial sweeteners (no swerve, stevia etc), Eggs, Dairy (including ghee and butter).

Some thawing is normal. If your product is still cold to the touch (40°F) it is safe for consumption. Please place all meals in the freezer upon arrival.

We always recommend to thaw the meals before warming, for optimal flavor! Once thawed, you can slice open the packaging and warm up on the stovetop? Our meals come in sealed trays (microwave safe NOT oven safe), and soup bags (both BPA free). Specific reheating instructions can be found on the product's website description and is displayed on the product label. Just click on the “Thawing and Reheating” tab. Feel free to heat in the microwave if you are on-the-go!

Since all of our meals are handcrafted and take a lot of time, they sometimes temporarily sell out. But don't worry, we are hard at work to get them back in stock for you. Sometimes our products are seasonal, and from time to time, we do seasonally discontinue items to make room for amazing new dishes.

We're just like you. we want to be sure that any meat we use was humanely raised in a way that's great for the animals, the planet, and our families' bodies. We take great care in all of our food ingredient sourcing. As opposed to giving you a short answer, we built a detailed and completely transparent food sourcing page. Click here for more information.

Simply put, we use organic vegetables and other ingredients whenever possible. However, we strictly follow the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen guidelines to make sure we only source the highest quality produce for you and your family.

Nutritional data is available on all of our products pages, and are also included on the meals themselves. If you have any questions please contact our customer service.

The portion size of all of our meals is listed on the nutritional facts label contained on the product page. Most of our products are very generous single portions, but there are exceptions, which will be posted on our product listing pages and on the product labels of each item.

"Produce often travels a significant distance before it makes it to a supermarket's shelves. By the time you're putting them on your plate, many of the nutrient levels have fallen. However, frozen vegetables retain the nutrients that are lost in transit. Following is a transcript of the video.

Is this where you can get the most nutritious fruits and veggies in your supermarket? Not really. It's here, in the freezer section. Fruits and vegetables contain the most nutrients when they are ripe. Yet, they can start losing their nutrients very quickly.

Green beans can lose up to 30% of their vitamin C just one day after harvest. Often produce travels a far distance before it hits your plate. One study showed that produce sold in Chicago traveled an average of 1500 miles. So the "fresh" vegetables in your supermarket might not be that fresh. On the other hand, frozen fruits and vegetables are harvested and then immediately frozen.

"Most vegetables are quick-frozen within two hours of harvest. The freezing process retains nutrients at near harvest levels for at least six months, and even up to one year," says Guy Crosby, Harvard University.

The CDC says about 87% of Americans don't get their recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. However, the USDA says the United States does not produce enough vegetables to meet this need. unless you can get to a farmer's market, frozen fruits and vegetables might be the way to go."

Most of our products are naturally low in sugar, but some are sweetened with honey, maple syrup, molasses, coconut palm sugar, or fruit. If you're watching your sugar intake we recommend viewing the nutritional info on each of our product listings or reach out to customer service for additional info.

We carefully package every order, protecting the meals with kraft paper and/or bubble wrap. Then we add a generous amount of dry ice and gel packs, many times lasting an entire extra day. However, although rare, and mostly out of our control, slight thawing may occur in transit. If the food is thawing but still cold (<41° F), it is safe to eat! Upon receipt of your delivery, immediately put thawing food in the freezer. In general, we suggest you following your tracking number to be able to bring your order inside as soon as possible once it’s delivered.
