real food, cooked by hand in our minneapolis kitchen and driven to the door. 40 to 56g of protein a meal, macros printed on every label, and no subscription to cancel. delivery from $4, free over $65.
ready in 90 secondsappetite tends to shrink as people get older while the body gets less efficient at turning food into muscle. that combination is why a lot of older adults end up eating less protein at exactly the point in life it matters most. nutrition researchers generally put the target for adults over 65 higher than the standard adult guideline, closer to 1.0 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight a day.
for a 150 pound person that is roughly 68 to 82 grams a day. two tandoco meals get most of the way there on their own.
chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, eggs and rice. the protein comes from the meal, not from a scoop stirred into it. nothing chalky, nothing that tastes like a supplement.
every label carries calories, protein, carbs and fat for that exact meal. useful if a doctor has asked someone to track something, and useful for anyone who just wants to know.
one meal, one container, no assembly. we would rather someone eat a whole meal than leave half a huge one, so portions are sized to be finished.
the menu is standing, so favorites stay put. order by thursday at 11:59pm and that is the whole deadline. no plan to design, no quiz to sit through.
tommy and omar cook everything by hand in our minneapolis kitchen. nothing is frozen, nothing arrives from a warehouse.
delivered to the door across minneapolis, saint paul and the metro suburbs. a text goes out the day before with the window.
90 seconds in a microwave. no chopping, no pans, no cleanup beyond the container going in the recycling.
a lot of these orders are placed by someone who does not eat the food. you pay from wherever you live, and the delivery address is theirs. they never have to set up an account, learn a new app, or handle the payment.
you can live in chicago and feed a parent in edina. the card is yours, the address is theirs, the delivery text goes to whichever phone number you put on the order.
there is no subscription to cancel and no minimum number of weeks. order one week, skip three, come back in a month. nothing renews behind your back.
meal services aimed at older adults often blur into medical territory. we would rather draw the line clearly than have someone order the wrong thing for a parent.
pickup is also available at our weekend farmers market stands if someone would rather collect an order in person.
yes, as long as the building accepts deliveries at the door or a front desk. put the unit or apartment number in the address and any desk instructions in the delivery notes. we cannot walk meals into a room, so someone needs to be able to collect them.
yes, and it is common. use your own card and put their address as the delivery address. they do not need an account. put whichever phone number should get the delivery text on the order, yours or theirs.
some are and some are not. we do not make a texture-modified or pureed line. dishes built on rice, eggs, tofu, salmon cakes and slow-cooked beef tend to be softer than a whole seared chicken breast. every item lists its ingredients so you can judge before ordering.
we do not market a low-sodium line and we do not currently print sodium on every label, so if sodium is being managed for medical reasons, treat that as a gap and check with us before ordering. calories, protein, carbs and fat are on every label.
no contract and no auto-renewal you have to remember to cancel. order the weeks you want. you can also set up a weekly plan and skip any week you like.
they arrive fresh, never frozen, and are meant to be eaten across the week. anything not being eaten in the first few days freezes fine in its container.
no. tandoco is a private meal-prep kitchen, not a covered benefit provider. orders are paid by card. if a family is looking for meals covered under a waiver or a health plan, that is a different kind of program and we are not it.
order by thursday, delivered sunday, across minneapolis and the twin cities. from $4, free over $65.
