FAQs
Entree meals start at $14 per serving. If meals include more expensive proteins (wild caught seafood or steak for example) prices are adjusted accordingly. Additional upgrades may include avocado, dairy free, or gluten free options.
There is no commitment to order on a weekly basis. BOSS Boxes are here to serve when it best fits your needs or when the menu is calling your name! At this time, we do not offer subscriptions but it may be something we implement in the future. When you order you will create a customer profile, so you can save your payment information to make ordering faster and easier.
We have specific customization & upgrade options for entree meals. Dairy free sauce, gluten free bread, wild caught salmon, add avocado etc. However we do not take specific requests or custom orders with modifications for dislikes or dietary restrictions. We batch make all of our recipes, and as a small team (it's just me and my husband) giving the option for additional modifications creates no way for us to have a streamlined system. You can rest assured that all in house recipes are automatically free of gluten, refined sugar, and industrial seed oils (canola, soy, vegetable, etc.) and many meals are or may have the option to be fully dairy free. We will always note if recipes includes the 8 high allergy foods (gluten, dairy, egg, tree nuts, peanuts sesame, soy, & shell fish.)
All in house recipes are free of gluten but we are NOT a certified gluten free kitchen. If a dish includes bread, tortillas, or pasta (we don't make these in house) there will always be a choice between a standard or gluten free option.
Veggies are one of our favorite things to eat! But the majority of our current meals do include animal proteins. We love vegetarian and vegan meals but at this time we don't offer them as our niche. Sometimes we may have meals or batch items that are vegetarian or vegan and we will always note that.
At this time we do not offer a delivery service. Pick up is on location on Tuesday evenings from 4-7pm. The pick up location is on the west end of Steamboat Springs behind Elk River Pet & Ranch. Please see the contact page for the address and directions.
We ask that you do your best to come at the allotted time or have a friend or family member help you out if need be. However we understand that this isn't always possible and we'll do our best to work with you. If you are unable to make the pick up window please contact us directly to set up another pick up time. We cannot accommodate early pick up times but we can usually accommodate a later pick up time.
We will always provide the ingredients in each recipe you order but we do not provide the calories, macros etc. At BOSS Box our goal is to make eating well delicious, easy, and FUN! And to us, counting calories & macros is the opposite of fun. Our focus is simply on REAL food with quality ingredients. We absolutely understand that nutritional information is necessary for certain people under certain circumstances. If you are an athlete, trying to lose weight, or following a specific diet paradigm that involves counting calories or macros, there are TONS of other great meal services on the market that can cater to your specific needs!
We do our absolute best to use the exact same quality products in our boxes each and every week. However, in this crazy food market is isn't always 100% guarantee that the availability of products is the same every single week. Since we are a small business with a consistently changing menu we use a combination of wholesale ordering, the grocery store, & local farmers.
When available, we use free range chicken, grass fed ground beef, organic ground turkey, and hormone free pork & dairy products. Our standard seafood options are usually farm raised as seafood in Colorado is very expensive. However, we do offer a wild caught upgrade option when available. We use organic greens and some organic products but not EVERYTHING is organic. We use monk fruit sweetener, honey or maple syrup in place of refined sugar. And we use cold pressed avocado oil or olive oil in place of industrial seed oils (vegetable. canola, soy, etc.)Industrial seed oils are VERY highly processed oils that are extracted from various plants like soy beans, corn & cottonseed. The processing of these oils make them devoid of nutrients, calorically dense, and changes their chemical structure. Meaning they have NO BUSINESS being in your body! With the change in the chemical structure your body no longer understands how to digest them. This wreaks havoc on your system causing systemic inflammation and leading to all sorts of ailments and chronic issues. Cutting these oils out from your diet is one of the most impactful changes you can make. This is why we NEVER use them in our recipes and suggest that don't use them at home either. Swap them out for cold pressed avocado and olive oil and your body will thank you!
Industrial seed oils = vegetable, canola, soy, grapeseed, cottonseed, safflowerYES. Please, please, please wash your containers before returning them. All containers get re-washed and sanitized in house before being re-used. However, if food residue sits in them too long it will start harden or even worse grow mold. Either making them unusable or VERY hard to wash. The container return is a system that only works if you are willing to do your part. So please help us help you!
