Questions About Our Mission

  • The Good Bowls Mission has two parts. First we work to ensure that everyone has access to healthy food regardless of where they live or how much money they make. Second we work to strengthen the local food system by locally sourcing as many ingredients as we can and producing our Bowls right here in the Triangle.

  • You can start by picking up some Good Bowls next time you’re shopping at your local co-op or ordering some for home delivery. Every Bowl that you order helps the farmers, pickers, packers, drivers, and cooks that are involved in local food system. It also helps sustain our programs that provide Good Bowls to underserved communities.

    You can also donate to our nutrition outreach program and help us provide Bowls to food pantries experiencing unprecedented demand.

Questions About Nutrition

  • All Good Bowls recipes are developed by Nutrition Professor, Dr. Alice Ammerman. They are based on the well studied and highly recommended Mediterranean diet, with a southern twist for local taste preferences and seasonal food availability, We call it the “Med South” diet. We use plenty of heart healthy olive oil, fresh vegetables, and whole grains. You can get more information on the nutritional content on our nutrition page.

  • Yes! Good Bowls have a full medically tailored meals line up. We have options that meet the guidelines for carb-controlled, heart healthy, and kidney friendly. All of these meals were carefully designed by a nutritionist to have the proper amount of each ingredient per bowl. You can read more about our medically tailored meal options on our dietary recommendations page.

Questions About Home Delivery

  • If you live in the Raleigh/Durham area you can have Good Bowls delivered right to your home. This is often the best option since local grocery stores only carry a limited selection. With home delivery you can order any of our 30+ recipes or our medically tailored meal options.

    Simply go to our Shop page, select your meals, check out, and we’ll deliver your meals on Thursday - our Raleigh/Durham delivery day.

  • Yes! In fact subscriptions are our most popular service - they make getting Good Bowls at your home easy and hassle-free. We offer subscriptions on our 14 meal boxes - you can order a regular healthy meal box or a medically tailored meal box of carb controlled, heart healthy, or kidney friendly bowls.

    Our subscriptions deliver meal boxes weekly, twice a month, or once a month - whichever is better for your family size and how many bowls you think you’ll need per week.

    Set up your meal box subscription on our Subscription Page.

  • Unfortunately, you can’t pick the exact meals that are included in each box. Our kitchen is cooking different recipes throughout the month so we vary what we include in the weekly box based on what ingredients we have access to and what we’re cooking.

    During check out you can include ‘additional information’ for our kitchen team packing your box and include information like: ‘no red meat’ or ‘nothing spicy.’

  • That’s fine, many of our customers are at work when we deliver their Good Bowls. Simply leave a cooler on your porch or somewhere outside with some ice or a cold block and our driver will leave your Good Bowls inside the cooler until you get home.

  • We currently deliver to the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill areas that include Orange, Durham, Chatham, Wake and Alamance counties. We’re hoping to expand to cover more of central North Carolina soon - stay tuned!
