As a dietitian with a busy work schedule and active social life, I’m always on the hunt for simple yet effective ways to eat healthier. But, finding a meal solution that ticks all the boxes—nutrition, taste, value, and speed—has always felt like a pipe dream.
That is, it did until I found Tempo by Home Chef. Here’s why I recommend it to my clients and use it for myself:
1. Packed with Nutrition, Designed by Chefs
As a dietitian, I prioritize my health, but my food still has to taste good (which is something I also have to keep in mind for my clients). My favorite thing about Tempo is that each meal is a delicious fusion of culinary expertise and nutritional science. You can rest assured that the Dietitian-Approved meals on their menu are balanced with flavor and function.
So, whether my clients are eyeing more protein to fuel their workouts, searching for low-calorie dishes to satisfy their hunger while helping to drop weight, or simply aiming for a nutrient-rich diet to boost overall wellness, I can recommend Tempo's menu knowing it has something for everyone.
2. Home-Cooked Taste At Microwave Speed
If you're wary of the sad, bland microwaveable meals of generations past, Tempo is here to change your mind. My first meal was Salmon in Creamy Garlic Sauce with French Onion Green Beans. Not gonna lie: it kinda blew my mind. The salmon was perfectly flaky, the beans were nice and snappy, and the sauce was simply dreamy—all in 3 minutes.
My partner and I also loved the Hickory BBQ Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Buttered Broccoli. The chicken was juicy, the sauce was flavorful, and the potatoes were pure comfort food heaven. And again, it only took minutes to cook and there was ZERO cleanup when we were done.
3. Unbeatable Convenience Without Compromising Quality
After a long day with clients followed by a sweat sesh at the gym, the last thing I want to do is keep on working. That’s why I love coming home to a fridge stocked with Tempo meals. No chopping, sautéing, or a pile of dishes to tackle afterwards. Just 3 minutes in the microwave, and I’m ready to dig into a yummy, satisfying meal. I tell my clients it’s like meal prepping, but even easier.
The ordering process also couldn’t be simpler—just choose your plan (as few as 6 or as many as you want), your delivery frequency (weekly, every other week, or once a month), and pick your favorite offerings.
That’s it!
And there’s no obligation—you can pause or quit at any time. As if that weren’t enough to love, the menu changes weekly so there’s no chance of getting bored. The hardest part is narrowing down which of the 20 meals you want to try each week!
4. A Smart Investment in Your Health
I always tell my clients that eating well is investing in your health. With meals starting at just $11/serving Tempo proves that a balanced diet doesn't have to break the bank.
When you compare the high-quality ingredients used and the chef-designed, macro-balanced meals you receive vs the cost of groceries and the time saved from meal prep and planning, it’s a steal!
This value is especially visible if you’re someone who turns to takeout at the end of a long day. Signing up for Tempo is like getting your favorite restaurant meals delivered, except healthier, faster, and cheaper! With the variety of meal options and the flexibility to choose what you want each week, you’re always in control of your budget and your plate.
