Delicious, nutritious and uber convenient, this high-end brand is officially Goop-approved.

Tocabe Harvest Meals
I aim to support Native American–owned brands whenever possible, so I was thrilled to see Indigenous online marketplace Tocabe (also a Denver-based restaurant) launch its Harvest Meals this fall. Native-first ingredients are sourced from Indigenous producers and come together in nourishing heat-and-eat dishes like wild rice jambalaya, blue corn mush and the bison posu bowl (my favorite).

Omaha Steaks
America’s original butcher has extended its offerings beyond just prime cuts of meat (though they sell plenty of those, too). The Midwest-based brand has some of the tastiest meals and sides we’ve tried, like short rib stroganoff, coq au vin and baked lemon chicken with orzo. The best part? From freezer to oven or stovetop, they’re super simple to make.

Amazon Kitchen
The online giant just made life even easier with the introduction of Amazon Kitchen, which features ready-in-minutes meals like Moroccan-style salmon and black pepper beef as well as pizzas, burritos, soups, dips and on-the-go snacks. Questioning if a company that does it all can do ready-made meals well? Our answer is a resounding yes.
