Though we take care to prevent cross-contamination, if you have an extreme allergy please note that cross-contamination is still a possibility with our food. During signup, you’ll be able to add Foods to Avoid to your subscription. We can’t accommodate allergies to garlic or onion as these items are used throughout most of the savory menu. Also, most menu items are made with tree nuts, so if you have a tree nut allergy, your options with us will be very limited. If you have questions about our ability to accommodate your food allergies, please email us at support@olindas.nl so we can discuss whether we'll be able to cook for you.

Why do you offer subscriptions?

Because putting healthy eating on auto-pilot is the best way for busy people to eat clean consistently enough to feel their absolute best every day. Most people struggle with getting the results they want from healthy eating because of lack of consistency, not because they’ve picked the wrong diet. Eating whole, unprocessed foods with ample vegetable variety and in the right portion size, when done consistently, is life changing when part of a lasting lifestyle. You can pause or cancel with one week's notice.

Sustainability and Recycling

We make food that’s nourishing, effortless, and convenient. But convenience is often at odds with our planet. The more stuff we need ASAP, the more waste we generate. That’s why we’re working to make all of our packaging planet-friendly. Olindas is currently using 90% sustainable materials (compostable, recyclable, or post-consumer recyclable (PCR) for our packaging, cases, coverings, and whatever else our food touches. It’s a major part of how we (and you) Eat the Solution. If you can help is further in our mission towards sustainability in food and packaging, please to support@olindas.nl

Can I customize my meal plan?

When working as a private chef, my clients barely knew what I would serve them, before I plated them. But one thing they did know; it would be delicious and nutrious, with the most seasonal food of that moment. When recieving your order, we always make sure to design your menu as varied as possible. We are currently working on a customer portal where you can log in and manually select your meals, untill then, we make it effortlessly simple and make the selection for you.
