If you follow the Paleo Diet, you know how rewarding it is to prepare a meal made from wholesome, all-natural ingredients. You know how good you feel when you eat grain-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free meals. And you also know how time consuming shopping for and cooking these meals can be. In fact, you’ve probably come across one or two nights in your week when it just isn’t feasible to cook Paleo, which is why you’re now coming to us!
We know moments arise when life gets busy and complicated. You want to order take-out, or delivery, but can’t be certain that your favorite restaurants cook Paleo. Now you can be. There are some great options in Charlotte and the surrounding areas that deliver Paleo meals. We’ve created the below list of local and national companies that deliver meals express to area residents so that you never need to decide between convenience and falling of the Paleo wagon.

We cover the following....
Local Paleo Food Delivery Charlotte Options
This section covers options available right in the greater Charlotte area. If you are looking to patronize a local business, Charlotte has some great delivery Paleo and grain free delivery options. If you find yourself needing a last minute order of lunches or dinners for the week, they will likely have something that meets your dietary restrictions.
The Good Kitchen
Fans of The Good Kitchen will be pleased to know that they are based right in Charlotte, North Carolina! What started out as a Paleo-friendly meal delivery service now operates as a frozen meal supplier for Walmart locations as well as still offering their shipping services for their growing customer base.
The Good Kitchen is a great choice for pursuants of a Paleo diet, although they predominately advertise their Whole30-approved dishes (which by extension are Paleo-friendly due to the two diet’s shared values).
Their ingredients are always sustainably-sourced, with meat being either grass-fed or pasture-raised, and supply gluten free, clean eating, paleo, ketogenic, autoimmune protocol, and Whole30-approved variations to increase accessibility to all of their customers.
The price of their meals depends on how many meals you opt for per week as opposed to being priced on the product itself. For example, choosing a 10 meal weekly plan means that each meal works out at $13 each, whereas a 21 meal weekly plan equates to each meal being $11.

Project Lean Nation
Project Lean Nation are a local business based in the Charlotte area, with stores also in Buffalo, Charleston and Rochester. Their focus is on macro-balanced dishes suitable for people who are more athletic or have specific body composition goals.
They offer a number of Paleo-friendly meals such as Paleo Powercakes, Bacon Bleuburger and Barbacoa Beef. Although they don’t solely provide for the Paleo population, they have many dishes suitable to choose from.

Nourish
For the Paleo practitioners among you that are looking for more ‘plant-forward’ or meat-free meals, Nourish will work to create delicious, gluten-free and vegan (therefore dairy-free) meals for your busy schedule. While this is not exactly a Paleo service, we thought we’d include them on this list for those who are looking for something Paleo-adjacent.
Nourish uses organic, pesticide-free produce sourced from local farmers and are forward-thinking in the way that they prepare and package their products. Their kitchen creates 90% less refuse than other kitchens in the US, and they ensure that their food packaging is totally biodegradable and recyclable. This is a great choice for people who want to decrease their carbon footprint and support sustainable businesses.
Nourish offers both meal plans and an a la carte menu, meaning that you can reap the benefits of an automatic weekly delivery service, or order as and when you need a quick lunch or dinner fix. It’s worth noting that Nourish offers a complete menu including juices, breakfasts and side dishes, so nothing goes amiss, and they also only use low-glycemic sweeteners such as coconut sugar and maple syrup instead of refined sugar.

It should also be mentioned that many of these national companies offer packaging that is useful for travelling. If you’re heading out of town and want to make sure you maintain your diet, you might order a few meals to take with you. However, if you’re looking to sponsor the local restaurant communities when you leave town, check out read our other articles (which detail Paleo delivery options in other US and Canadian cities). Complementing your home cooking with a few pre-made meals can make following the Paleo diet less stressful and time consuming. Creating a lifestyle that incorporates wholesome, all-natural food might seem difficult, but it only takes a bit of preparation to maintain healthy eating habits. We hope this list has provided you with a number of options for pre-made Paleo meals. Even if you love shopping and cooking your own meals, sometimes you need a break from the kitchen. The services we’ve listed maintain close relationships with local farmers and can often access ingredients that may otherwise be difficult for you to obtain. We recommend giving any one of these restaurants and companies a try!
