FAQ
How does the Blueprint meal plan work?
Blueprint was invented by Bryan Johnson based on his hired team of professionals, medical doctors and nutrition experts. It resulted in two meals that build the baseline of the diet: the Super Veggie as a breakfast (Bryan eats it early morning) and the Nutty Pudding as a dessert at the end of the day (Bryan eats it at noon).
You can adapt the diet by integrating those two meals into your daily routine, too. Start with the Super Veggie to have the energy for the day and eat the Nutty Pudding at your convenience.
Why a subscription?
Subscriptions help us reducing food waste and increase predictability, so you profit from fresher food and better prices.
How often do we forget to shop health groceries to prepare healthy food and instead opt in for junk food? Subscribing to the food delivery helps you establishing a stable and health food routine which is best from a longevity perspective.
Where do you deliver?
To ensure the highest possible quality and freshness, we currently deliver to areas in the city of Zurich. You'll see if your area is served during checkout.
Where is the food made?
The food is made locally in a «ghost kitchen» (a term for a kitchen that has no restaurant tables) in Kreis 6 in Zurich that exclusively produces the two meals based on the evidence-based recipe.
Ghost kitchens are essentially restaurants without the dining space. Their focus is to sell and fulfill online food orders for delivery.
What are your nutrition facts, macronutrients, and micronutrients?
You can see all nutritional information directly on the menu, as well as on the meal label itself.
Are the ingredients organic?
Yes, they are! All of our ingredients are 100% organic. When some fruits are not in season, we might not be able to acquire fresh produce in organic quality. In those cases, we'll label this clearly on the packaging.
Do you also provide catering?
We believe Blueprint meals are so convenient and versatile that we’re happy to deliver them for events, conferences, and team-building activities. Please contact shop@zenmeals.ch to plan everything.

The science, in short
-
Fibre & legumes
Read the researchMost diets fall short on fibre. A large review of carbohydrate research found people eating the most fibre had 15 to 30% lower rates of death from any cause. Black lentils make up more of the Super Veggie than any other ingredient.
-
Polyphenols & sulforaphane
Read the researchBerries, cocoa, and olive oil supply polyphenols, plant compounds linked to a 7% lower risk of death in a recent meta-analysis. Broccoli and cauliflower supply glucoraphanin, which your body converts into sulforaphane.
-
Minimally processed
Read the researchA randomized trial found people eating an ultra-processed diet ate about 500 more calories a day than on a minimally processed diet with the same nutrients on paper. We cook fresh every week instead of batch-freezing.
Questions people actually ask

Are your ingredients organic?
Yes, all ZenMeals ingredients are organically grown, with rare seasonal exceptions when a specialty ingredient runs short.
Is ZenMeals vegan?
Both current meals are plant-based, though we don't market ourselves as strictly vegan since future recipes may add options like eggs.

Yes. The Nutty Pudding contains macadamia, walnuts, brazil nut, and almond milk, and the Super Veggie is prepared in a kitchen that also handles tree nuts.
Can ZenMeals help with weight loss?
Whole-food, fibre-and-protein-rich meals tend to be more filling per calorie, which can help with a calorie deficit, but total daily intake still matters.
Can I eat ZenMeals every day?
Many subscribers do, typically as lunch and dinner or breakfast and lunch, filling in the remaining meal themselves.

The Nutty Pudding freezes well for up to a month. We don't recommend freezing the Super Veggie.
