Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our meals are fresh and ready-to-eat as soon as they arrive! We also have frozen meal options in case that is preferred.

Healthy for us means meals that are nutritionally balanced, high in protein, include healthy fats (e.g., grapeseed and extra virgin olive oil), and minimize the use of added sugars. Where sweetening is needed, we use alternative sugars like monk fruit extract to make it sugar-free.

We strive for all our meals to reflect Canada’s recommended food guidelines. 

All our meals include your necessary macronutrients like protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. Our meals are also colorful, offering you all the vitamins and minerals you need to thrive (e.g., broccoli, spinach, carrots, zucchini, sweet peppers, bok choy, mushrooms).

Mi BOWL ready-to-eat meals do not need to be frozen. They can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and should be consumed within seven days of delivery. We recommend consuming any fish/seafood within four days of delivery.

For meals that need to be re-heated, you may do so in the oven or in a microwave. For the microwave, gently tear a hole in the plastic seal (to allow steam to escape as it warms up) and microwave for 2.5 to 3 minutes. To reheat in the oven, transfer the meal into an oven-safe dish and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350F.

Please note that heating times may vary based on microwave and oven strength.

Some meals include ingredients that do not freeze and thaw well. For this reason, we do not recommend freezing our fresh ready-to-eat meals. 

If you’re looking for frozen meal options, consider our frozen product offerings.

All our meals are made from scratch in a commercial kitchen that comes into contact with nuts and other allergens. As such we cannot guarantee there is no cross contamination. 

In some cases we may be able to accommodate dietary preferences. Please let us know when you place your order by leaving a note or connect with us directly here.

We offer the option of ordering extra meat or protein as an ‘add-on’ to your order. These proteins are vacuum-sealed to preserve longevity in the fridge. We recommend consuming add-ons within seven days of delivery.

Our business is based in Toronto. We source our ingredients from a variety of local suppliers and try to use locally grown and organic produce wherever possible.

Currently, we provide nutritional information for each dish on our Premium bundle menus. 

Since our menus change regularly, this means that once the dish is no longer on the menu for the week, the nutritional information is not readily accessible to you on the website. Our team is currently exploring options to ensure this information remains available for you as our weekly menus change. In the meantime, if you have a question about the nutritional information of your meal please reach out to us directly here.

“Mi” (pronounced “mē”) means “rice granule” in many Chinese languages and dialects. Rice has been a staple food in Asian cuisine for centuries, so we wanted to honour its role by naming our company Mi BOWL.

All our meals are sold as one portion that serves one person. Meals from our Premium Healthy Meal bundle typically contain 400-600 calories per portion. Meals from our Weight Loss Bundle contain 300-400 calories per portion.

We do not currently offer the option to change portion sizes.
