Well, clean eats is keeping your health goals on track.
This January,
their fresh balanced meals are available to order
online or at their Grab and Go cafe.
This month, they're rolling out some new menu options for you. Have them here
in the Charlie Wilson Kitchen aid kitchen.
I'm joined by owners, co owners,
Candice Gilbert and Matt Hall because we know it's a joint project,
pulling this whole thing together and surviving January nonetheless.
And Bill Dear, who has been on the program and he
has
a really great success story that we're excited to share with you.
So, how's your January going guys? A
little
busy?
I bet, I bet.
I feel like every time you follow them on, uh,
social media because it's really great.
You put a lot of those new menu options and you guys just
keep expanding in so many ways with what's happening with the food.
Um Let's start first with how easy it is,
right?
Like there's a couple of ways that you can
get these meals in your fridge and in your Bell
at home. Yes.
So we have a lot of options for people and I think you said it at the top of the show.
People probably at this point they made their resolutions and honestly,
maybe they've slipped a little bit. So we're here to help. Um, so we have meal plans.
We have grab and go. You don't have to plan ahead for the grab and go.
You can come into our cafe anytime and grab those meals. We've got examples here.
Um, and then we've got pizzas, we've got protein coffees now that are new.
We've got smoothies, we've got catering that we do. We've got all
tons of options. We've even got PB and Js that you're seeing on the camera now.
And uh, Matt, I know you're the master of this, right?
You're always like creating what is the balance of
everything because I think what a lot of people,
what I hear them say what they like about it is no matter what their diet focus is.
I'm an athlete. I wanna do keto, I wanna do this.
It's proportioned and the variety is there.
Yeah. So we balance out the macros
to make sure that uh, you get the good nutrition that you need, it's gonna fill you up
and
we portion size it just because we eat way too much in this country. We do,
we don't know what the real portion is anymore. It's not the whole bag of whatever
or, you know, hey, I love going to Cheesecake Factory.
But when I get that Great Big Bowl, I'm like, oh right now like three servings a
little bit about the the options that are on, on the online order this week.
So I'll start with like what you're looking at here on the
screen as an example of what people are picking up this week.
If Matt, you'll be able to tell us what's on for
ordering.
But again, are these in the grab and go or the online, these are online.
So these are what you order online for our meal plan.
So, and for our Great Day Live viewers, we do give a discount.
So for people who want to order it online,
all you have to do is go online to clean eats.com/meal plan.
Menu,
click pay in store, order your meals,
pay in store and then tell us when you get to the store that
you saw us on Great Day Live and we'll give you 20% off Matt.
You wanna tell him what's on the meal plan this week,
I could
tell you, do
you
need a
drum?
I was getting excited because I'm like what? That's a new idea.
So this week we do have the ancho chicken breakfast bowl.
So we do come up with one breakfast option,
uh Asian beef and veggies. We have our
Aussie chicken with broccoli
chicken sausage bolognaise. We have honey garlic chicken
and honey hot chicken bites.
Along with our premium option is the Bison Mac
Cono.
This week,
that's
one of our top sellers. Don't you all have fun coming up with like new items. And
that's,
that's what a lot of people like to
is. At least there's, it's not the same three things.
It's not one chicken cooked 10,000 different ways. There's just a variety of it.
Uh, Bill's shaking his head because he's been through it. You've been through it.
How much weight have you lost
down? About £40 a day? Um, simply by eating
what they give me.
Um, we look forward every Thursday, my wife and I ordering our, um,
pick up meals that we go through.
We also go in and spend
hours just shopping, what they have, you know,
in a week's time if there's something because not always are the meal plans perfect
for what we like and maybe some things we like and we don't like.
So we, we through the months figured that out, um, the snacks are amazing.
The hot pockets are amazing.
And our, our favorite thing on a pizza matt,
I'll tell you we're in three or four days a week, picking up pizza
because they're, they're portioned.
We can eat them and it's brainless for us because we're so busy.
So, the crazy thing is the amount of dishes we don't do anymore.
Yeah. It's, it's amazing. It's all silverware.
It's all s
silverware
in the dish. It's, they really made it very easy for us.
And the food is, is always amazing. Really? When did you start trying their meals.
Oh, jeez. Uh, exact date wise, I couldn't tell you.
We just happened to be driving through and we're like,
looking for some place for dinner and we were, we walked in and we were like,
what is this?
And it took us a while to understand their,
the meal plan. Like we thought they were gonna plan it out for you and everything.
No, you plan it out for yourself.
You just click on what you want and you go in
and we go and typically my wife goes early Sunday,
she picks up everything, they package it all up and we're out the door.
Yeah, it's, it's amazing.
And then we'll typically back on a Wednesday or Thursday for something like that.
We're missing that we want
snack or something like that. So, did you set out with the goal? I'm gonna lose £40.
That's
even better.
I'm always on a constant, uh, fight to keep my weight under control.
And, um, where I'm at is pretty good. I'd like to be a little bit lower.
We're trying to focus on getting a little bit lower, but
the holidays are always tough. Is
it hard with you with work too?
Just being able to, to find time to, I'm gonna stop for lunch.
I'm gonna eat a healthy meal.
Yeah, because I, um, I do this intermittent fasting,
unintentionally I'll eat in the morning and then I want to get it until dinner um,
even though I've got a, I've got a
meal at work,
I forget because I'm so busy. It's way retail business. So,
it, you're always on the roll.
So, it, but if all I need to do is remember to pop it in the microwave.
Once it's in a microwave, I'm gonna eat it.
You know, this January, I can't underscore enough. It's important.
I,
I emphasize how much weight you lost but I think the message
that I really want people to hear is how do you feel?
Yeah. Great. Uh, a lot better.
At 54 you, you learn as you go through your thirties, forties and fifties
every year is a little tougher, you know, especially as a big guy
played sports my whole life. So, um,
it's, uh, I, I feel a lot better and I'm on my feet every day, all day. I'm like that. Uh,
they get it, you know, and, and as retailers it's,
you've got to be
in fairly decent shape or you're, you're hurting
and I
Right. Ok.
Your health health is, is the most important thing and for you to feel good, you know,
and to be able to get in some different clothes.
Now
you mentioned some of the other items and I want
to touch on those because that line keeps expanding too
because we can't help it. In the middle of the day.
We get the munchies and we wanna reach for a healthy
snack and you guys are really packed with some protein packed
um snacks that you brought and some new things too. Yes.
So we have empanadas in the store that are relatively new.
Um I brought you an iced coffee that's new. Uh Frappe is what we made. You.
Caramel, macchiato, I believe.
Um And then we've got things like energy balls and Buckeyes and like for example,
the coffee, right?
Like you can get frappes at other places, but ours only has 1 g of sugar
and you're also getting 20 g of protein
with that, which you don't get at other places.
So it fills you up differently and satisfies that need for the coffee.
Oh, definitely.
All right. Uh The key thing is with the order online, you need to get them in by what
today? So
no, no, you get my days more time than that.
You've got anytime between Tuesday and Sunday to order and you can pick up on Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday.
And again for our Great Day live viewers just go to clean eats.com/meal plan menu.
Do your check out um get pay in store and then tell us that you saw us
on Great Day Live and we'll give you 20% off for your first meal plan order.
And when you place your order, you go on to order at the cafe,
uh be sure to check out because you may have a powerful story too.
Maybe it's work you're still doing.
Um the We change lives challenge.
We are so everybody needs that little extra pep to get motivated.
Some of us may have taken a day off here and there don't want that dis
discourage you that we change live challenge.
Uh We are gonna be giving away three months worth
of free meals to one customer in our store.
That customer will be up for a $25,000 grand prize,
which is amazing and it's just for doing what you wanted to do in the first place,
which is live a healthier life.
So you mentioned something really important.
Candice, I wanna mention again is that we're saying it's the middle of January.
You may have fallen off.
This is really great to grab and just get yourself right back on track.
It may have not been a perfect day,
but I think if you're filling yourself up with some healthy foods,
you're gonna feel better and just keep it, keep it there.
Definitely.
Um, and I understand you have some exciting news to share just with us first.
Uh, things are going so great for you in the new Year.
So we do have our current location in Spring Hurst
and at 3565 Spring Hurst Boulevard,
we're actually opening up a new location in Jow.
Uh
You're closer to me. Thank
you.
Thank you.
So, uh, that will probably be open within the next, uh,
we'll put you in the second quarter of this year.
Oh, congratulations. We're very excited.
I mean, did you ever think when you guys started this? It was like such a different
concept from typical meal plans, order plan. Like it's totally different,
right? It, it was a risk to say, is this gonna work?
And it has Louisville's been great.
We, we are, this is our home, obviously, but it's been, they've been so welcoming and
it's been
a
pleasure, I think too when you go in and order from the cafe or you go to,
to pick out food, you all make it a community
that there is a lot of, don't you think too?
There's just a lot of support of like minded people. You can ask questions.
It's made fresh in the kitchen. Like, I don't know, there's just a whole different,
it's good to feel support when you're like,
changing your life in an important way and you won't provide that.
That's what we try to try to do it.
All right,
get your 20% off if you haven't already or maybe you've
fallen off this week and you wanna get back on track.
This is an easy way just to kind of keep keep things going.
Uh And to keep the train on the tracks,
all you have to do when you go into pick up as
mentioned that you saw it right here on Great Day Live,
pick something up at the cafe as well.
Uh to get started, go to Clean eats.com.
Yeah.
