Our Story & Philosophy
Create meals that make you feel great today and 40 years from now.
We started Basis because we refuse to settle for mediocre, plastic-wrapped meals cooked with processed fillers and seed oils. We believe prepared food should be a vehicle for longevity, not convenience at the cost of your health.
Our Principles. Your New Baseline.
Every single jar delivers a minimum of 40g of complete protein to support muscle recovery, lean mass, and sustained satiety throughout the day.
We prioritize metabolic and gut health by building our meals around fiber-rich whole vegetables, seeds, and ancient grains.
We believe in plant-forward nutrition. By volume, the vast majority of every meal consists of micronutrient-dense plant ingredients.
No canola, no soybean, no sunflower oil. We cook exclusively with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and grass-fed butter.
No plastic trays, no plastic film, no toxic chemical leaching. Every meal is packed in a refillable glass jar that is recycled and refilled.
Transparency
Rooted in local soil, cooked with care.
We coordinate directly with local farms within a 200-mile radius to source produce and pasture-raised meats. By cutting out middleman distributors, we get fresh ingredients from farm to plate in under 48 hours.

Circular Sourcing Loop
A business model that leaves no trace.
Every meal you receive comes in a heavy-duty, commercial-grade glass jar. When your next box is delivered, you leave your empty jars and totes on your doorstep. We collect them, carry them back to our sanitation facilities, wash them at high-temperature commercial cycles, and refill them for the next week.
