What is Trifecta Meal Delivery?

Trifecta is a meal-kit delivery service that provides pre-made meals designed to support specific health goals, from weight loss to muscle building. Unlike meal kits that require cooking, Trifecta meals arrive fully prepared and just need to be heated. Their focus is on responsibly sourced proteins, organic ingredients where it matters, and balanced macronutrients, making them a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts and those looking to better track macros or healthy eating.

Trifecta carefully crafts all its meals with the same rigorous nutritional standards used in the Stanford University Twin Study and the Netflix documentary “You Are What You Eat.” These meals are built on:

• Balanced macros to support a well-rounded diet
• Responsibly sourced proteins to ensure ethical and sustainable consumption
• Organic produce where it matters to maximize nutrient density
• No GMOs ever, keeping artificial ingredients out of your meals
• Healthy oils and carefully moderated sodium levels for optimal nutrition
• No simple sugars, only natural sweeteners for better glycemic control
• A strict banned ingredients list, excluding 237 ingredients that don’t meet their health and safety standards

Whether you want plant based meals, or to go entirely gluten free – Trifecta has meals for all eating plans and preferences.

Packaging and Sustainability

My Trifecta meals arrived in a large branded box with insulating packaging and ice packs to keep the food fresh. My food arrived cold and in great condition. The packaging was very effective in ensuring the meals arrived in great shape. I also appreciated that the cold pack material was also recyclable! Who would guess you can recycle that?

Portion Sizes and Convenience

Trifecta meals are preportioned and individually labeled with calories, protein, carbs, and fats. All ingredients are clearly listed on the back of the package as well. I love how clearly the macros are labeled on each meal – it makes it so easy to track and ensure I’m hitting my protein goals and that my meals are macro-balanced. For me, it can be really hard to have a sense of how much protein is in a meal, or how many carbs I’m eating in a meal – so this meal service solves that problem with all those details easy to see, and easy to track.

Convenience-wise, Trifecta checks all the boxes. I mean, it doesn’t get more convenient than fresh, preportioned meals ready to heat and eat in less than 3 minutes! You don’t even have to fuss with the packaging – you literally take it from the fridge and pop it into the microwave as is for 2 1/2 minutes. No pulling back the film, poking holes – it’s the truest form of heat and eat!

On a busy work day, I really appreciate this lunch option! Rather than grabbing a handful of crackers and some cheese – I can actually enjoy a full meal which was really great.

Taste and Meal Quality

I know what you’re wondering – do Trifecta meals taste good?  Let’s get into it!  I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect.  They looked good, and I received a ton of variety in the meals that I received.  That was impressive – options spanning from breakfast, lunch, and dinner – including eggs, turkey, pork, chicken, fish, and tofu proteins.  This variety of healthy meals definitely got me excited to dive in!  Even my family was intrigued by this one.

Here’s a closer look at the meals I received:

• Koren Glazed Chicken with Butternut Squash
• Turkey Taco Bowl
• Huevo Ranchero Egg Bites
• Enchilada Steak & Egg Bites
• Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites
• Pork Queso Potatoe Wedges
• Turkey Meatballs, Cheese Raviolis with Marinara
• BBQ Tofu with Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sauce
• Kung Pao Shrimp Stir Fry
• Red Enchilada Chicken Tamales
• Turkey Green Curry with Cauliflower Rice
• Hot & Sweet Chicken with Sweet Potatoes
• Sweet and Sour Salmon

I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the meals!  Again, I wasn’t sure what to expect and worried they might not be the tastiest based on other prepackaged meals I’ve tried. But I was actually impressed with the full flavor of each of the meals and how fresh they tasted.  They were not bland, they were seasoned well, and they tasted good.

I particularly enjoyed the Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites out of the breakfast options. The eggs were rich and perfectly prepared, well flavored and very tasty!

I also really enjoyed the pork queso with potatoe wedges! Anything covered in queso is a win for me – but beyond the queso and the vibrant flavor, the pork was soft and well flavored. It wasn’t rubbery or tough which you might imagine. Even being microwaved, I felt the potatoe wedges tasted steamed and fresh and not soggy.

Another honorable mention was the sweet and sour salmon! It was such a unique flavor in the best way!  The fish was flaky and juicy and the rice was well done.  I thoroughly enjoyed this one – even my 11 year old liked it! I guess that says something for the picky eaters out there!

But, if you are a picky eater, you have food allergies, or need to follow a specific strict diet – Trifecta can still be a good option. You can select your own prepared meals that meet your personal needs. So don’t worry, you don’t have to sacrifice healthy food after all!

Overall the meals taste good. Some may not be home runs for everyone based on personal preferences, for example, my husband wasn’t going to go near the BBQ Tofu – but I liked it! I’ve never actually had Tofu before this, so I had nothing to compare it to – other than I thought it was a nice alternative to meat, full of flavor, and an enjoyable texture.

Honestly, as someone who doesn’t love cooking, anything that I don’t personally have to cook is usually a win for me! If you’re a really good cook, or used to decadent meals made from scratch, of course you’ll notice the difference. But, if you’re looking for fresh, fully prepped, nutrient dense, science backed, and flavorful options – Trifecta meals are a great choice.

Pricing: Is Trifecta Worth It?

Trifecta meal plans start at $99, depending on the plan that you choose. You can opt to receive 7, 10, or 14 entres with each delivery and you can choose your own meals, or have the chef choose them for you!

Trifecta is more expensive than traditional meal kit services like Blue Apron or Home Chef, but those alternatives require you to prep and cook the meals yourself, so these being conveniently prepared and preportioned is one of the big differences.

Another big factor in the price for value with Trifecta is how each one has perfectly balanced macros clearly labeled on the front, made with healthy oils and carefully moderated sodium levels. They never use simple sugars, only natural sweeteners when needed. The other thing I love about Trifecta that stands out from the rest is that they have a strict banned ingredients list of 237 ingredients that they won’t use in their meals in order to keep the quality high. I don’t think many other meal subscriptions do that!

So, could you go to the grocery store and buy all the same high-quality ingredients to make these meals for yourself at home at a lower cost?  Of course you could. But the flip side to that is you have to put in the effort, time, and energy to make sure you’re hitting those macros and you’ve lost the convenience factor. In my opinion, that’s the challenge and that’s the draw for a healthy meal service like Trifecta.

Trifecta does offer a money-back guarantee on your first order, making it easier to try risk-free.

Is Trifecta Right for You?

If you’re someone who values responsibly sourced protein, organic ingredients, and nutrient-dense, flavorful foods – Trifecta is definitely worth considering. Just like if you have specific health goals you’re trying to hit, or are struggling to meet protein or macro goals – this is such an easy way to kickstart that progress.

You can’t beat the convenience of high-quality, pre-made meals, balanced macros, and a wide variety of flavorful options – delivered ready to heat and eat. It’s definitely a great option for checking all those boxes.

Overall, I was really impressed with the flavor and quality of the meals, the convenient delivery and how fast and easy it is to heat and eat.  If you want to give Trifecta a try, use code BOX40 at checkout for 40% off your first order here!
