If you follow the Paleo Diet, you know how rewarding it is to prepare a meal made from wholesome, all-natural ingredients. You’ve experienced the health benefits of eating grain-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free meals. You probably also know how time consuming shopping for and cooking these meals can be. No doubt you’ve experienced one or two nights in your week when cooking Paleo just isn’t an option. We know moments arise when life gets a bit too complicated. You want to order takeout or delivery, but can’t be certain that your favorite restaurants or delivery services cook Paleo. Now you can be. There are a few places in Columbus and the surrounding area that deliver Paleo meals right to your door. Below, we’ve created a wide-ranging list of local and national companies who offer options for Paleo customers. Read on to discover the many restaurants and services available to Columbus residents.
We cover the following....
Local Paleo Food Delivery Columbus Options
There are some great restaurants and delivery services local to Columbus, and some local delivery services cater to all kinds of diets, Paleo included. Though these local services are smaller than their national counterparts, and many don’t exclusively cater to Paleo customers, there are still a host of options available to you. If you find yourself pressed for time on a weekday evening, you might choose to support Columbus’ food scene and give one of these places a try!
VidaFit
VidaFit, which offers an array of health services to the Columbus area, offers a “True Food Delivery” program in which they deliver healthy meals from scratch. Although they have three plans designed for more general gluten free diets, their Professional plan is described as having Paleo meal delivery options. It may take a little negotiation to let them know about your exact dietary requirements, but they offer all of the components needed to piece together locally delivered Paleo meals out of their various options. Although not explicitly offered as part of their Professional Plan, they do offer additional add-on options for organic produce, local poultry and wild caught seafood as part of some of their other plans, so there may be some ability to request these premium ingredients. All meal plans include a consultation with a nutrition consultant as well.

National Companies Offering Paleo Meal Delivery to Columbus
Ordering locally is a great option for people who like to cook, and who aren’t looking for many pre-made meals (as some customization is required for meals that follow all tenets of the Paleo Diet). However, if you know you’re traveling out of town, or that your week is hectic, or if you’ve never been a huge fan of cooking but still want to eat Paleo, you might try ordering from a national company dedicated crafting meals that follow the Paleo Diet to the letter – all the companies we’ve listed in this section ship food to Columbus residents.
There are many benefits to ordering from these companies: They create meals that are Paleo specific, sourcing local, organic produce, pastured and humanely raised proteins, and wild-caught fish. Their meals arrive fresh or frozen, and can be kept on hand for whenever you need them. If you’re following a specific Paleo plan like AIP, sugar-detox, or Whole30, you might be hard-pressed to find a local company that offers dietary options adhering to those requirements. But most national companies on this list offer options specifically towards customers on specialized Paleo plans. Read on to see which of these companies might appeal to you.
The Good Kitchen
The North Carolina based Good Kitchen sources their organic and GAPS certified produce and ingredients locally in their area and uses grass-fed beef, pastured pork, and antibiotic and hormone-free chicken exclusively. They partner with farmers that they have relationships with and design their weekly menus around what is in-season at those farms at a given time. Their prices are based on meal count, rather than meal content, and they allow you to create your meal plans from their extensive selection of Paleo friendly menus (chicken, seafood, vegetarian, etc), with ingredients disclosed for each meal so you can tailor your order to your own preferences, choosing as many or as few of each dish from their current menu. Although they require you purchase 5 or more meals at a time, The Good Kitchen ships all meals free to addresses in Columbus and the surrounding area.
See thegoodkitchen.com for prices and their current menus.

You can buy anything: an order of lemon-blueberry muffins, an AIP strawberry vanilla cake, or a whole 30-day elimination meal plan.

If you’re feeding a family, the company also offers a “party platter” which contains twelve blocks of food.

We’d be remiss not to mention that many of these national companies offer packaging useful for travelling. If you’re heading out of town and want to take your diet into consideration, you might order a few meals to take with you. However, if you’re looking to sponsor the local restaurant communities when you leave town, check out read our other articles (which detail Paleo delivery options in other US and Canadian cities).

Even if you love cooking, or find the process of creation cathartic, it can be useful to have some go-to options for meal delivery in case the occasion calls for it. We hope this list has provided you with a number of options for pre-made Paleo meals. The services we’ve listed maintain close relationships with local farmers and can often access ingredients that may otherwise be difficult for you to obtain. We recommend giving any one of these restaurants and companies a try!
