healthy meals, delivered.
real meals cooked from scratch in our minneapolis kitchen every single week: whole ingredients, high protein, full macros printed on every label, as low as $10.25 a meal. delivered across the twin cities every sunday, from $4 and free at 8 meals. nothing frozen, no fillers, no subscription.
fresh food has a schedule.
most national services ship frozen, processed food from a warehouse halfway across the country. we cook everything the same week you eat it, in minneapolis. that only works on a rhythm, and the rhythm is simple:
order by thursday
browse the standing menu and order by thursday 11:59pm. pick 3, 5, or 10 meals, add wellness bakery, no subscription required. the more meals you add, the less each one costs.
we cook fri + sat
every meal is cooked to order that week from whole ingredients: real proteins, real vegetables, real spices. nothing premade, nothing frozen.
delivered sunday
your week of food arrives sunday 3–9pm, portioned and labeled with macros. delivery from $4, free at 8 meals, across the metro.
eat all week
meals keep 5 to 7 days refrigerated in single-serving containers and reheat in about 2 minutes. dinner is a microwave, not a project.
real meals with the numbers to prove it.
"healthy" gets slapped on a lot of food that never earns it. every tandoco meal states its case on the label: protein, carbs, fat, and calories, measured per container. a few from the standing menu:
lemon garlic chicken
the workhorse. real chicken, real garlic, a full dinner's worth of protein in one container.
beef + sausage meatballs
comfort food that holds up on a cut: 52 grams of protein at 480 calories.
fluffy protein pancakes
breakfast with more protein than most dinners. reheats stacked, eaten before the coffee's done.
golden sesame tofu
the plant-forward heavy hitter: 42 grams of protein without a bird in sight.
golden orange chicken
takeout flavor with takeout's whole day of protein: 50 grams, no delivery-app fees.
egg bites
the one-minute breakfast: real eggs, out of the microwave before the kettle boils.
the more meals you add, the less each one costs: $11.50 each on a 3-meal week, $10.75 each at 10 meals, and $10.25 each at 20, our lowest per-meal price. every plan is the same chef-cooked food, just more of it.
the menu also carries a full wellness bakery (protein cinnamon rolls, cookies, breads), bottled protein drinks, and rotating entrées. every item, every week, with its macros on the label. see the standing menu →
why local beats the national box.
there are plenty of meal delivery options in the twin cities. most "healthy" labels hide frozen, processed food that spent a week in a truck. the differences that matter:
| feature | tandoco | typical meal delivery | frozen / national |
|---|---|---|---|
| ingredients | whole food, high-protein, every meal | varies widely | often processed, carb-heavy |
| freshness | cooked the same week | varies | frozen, shipped |
| fillers + additives | zero | sometimes | preservatives common |
| menu | standing menu, macros on every item | rotating monthly | same catalog |
| where it's made | minneapolis | local varies | shipped nationally |
| commitment | no lock-in, skip anytime | often subscription | usually subscription |
| wellness bakery | yes · rolls, cookies, breads | no | no |
the price story is the same one: national services (hellofresh, factor, freshly, trifecta) bake cold-chain shipping and survive-a-fedex-truck packaging into every plate. we cook locally and deliver the next day, so the fee stays at $4, free at 8 meals, and the meals stay the cheapest fresh prepared meals in the twin cities. the full teardown lives on meal prep vs meal kits.
