CookUnity Unveils Chef-Made GLP-1 Balanced Meal Collection

February 04, 2025 at 16:59 PM EST

The first-ever chef-curated meal collection tailored specifically for GLP-1 users is now available, combining flavor and nutrition in every bite.

CookUnity, the leading premium chef-made meal delivery service, has launched the first-ever collection of chef-crafted, GLP-1 balanced meals, designed to cater to the growing needs of individuals using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. This new line of meals offers a perfect balance of nutrition and flavor, without compromise, making it easier for users to maintain their health goals while enjoying gourmet cuisine.

As more than 24 million Americans are projected to use GLP-1 medications by 2035, CookUnity is at the forefront of the trend toward health-conscious eating. One of the notable effects of those using GLP-1 medications is the drastic reduction in appetite. Although this can be effective in achieving weight loss goals it can also mean loss of the vital nutrients that make up a healthy, nourishing diet. Additionally, recent studies have reported reductions in lean muscle mass ranging between 40% and 60% as a proportion of total weight lost, while other studies show lean mass reductions of approximately 15% or less of total weight lost¹. Partnering with renowned Culinary Nutritionist and Registered Dietitian, Kristy Del Coro, MS, RDN, LDN, CookUnity has created a collection of meals scientifically designed to support the specific nutrient-dense dietary needs of GLP-1 users that mitigate malnutrition and muscle loss associated with weight loss from the GLP-1 medications.

With over 15 years of expertise in both culinary and nutrition fields, Kristy brings her deep knowledge of nutrition science and culinary artistry honed from her leadership role at a Michelin-starred health-focused restaurant. Her guidance ensures each dish in CookUnity’s GLP-1 friendly collection is not only nutritious but also a delight to the palate.

CookUnity’s GLP-1 balanced meals contain key nutrients such as protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals to ensure GLP-1 users feel satisfied, energized, and get the most out of each meal. The meals are designed to provide balanced nutrition without compromising on taste, offering dishes that are both gourmet and health-focused.

Highlights from the new collection include:

Beef Tinga Tacos by Chef Akhtar Nawab
Sesame-Ginger Tofu Poke Bowl by Chef Emily Peck
Pork Al Pastor Grain Bowl by Chef Ivy Stark
Seared Salmon with Berry Glaze by Chef Chris Massiah
Steak Suya & West African Kale Salad by Chef Pierre Thiam

“CookUnity is committed to redefining the meal delivery experience, and our GLP-1 balanced meals are a perfect example of how we continue to innovate with consumers’ evolving needs in mind,” said CookUnity VP of Brand Marketing, Cam Ferrin. “We’re excited to be the first to offer a chef-driven meal delivery service specifically tailored for the unique nutritional needs of GLP-1 users. This collection brings together the best of both worlds: the expertise of top chefs and a science-backed approach to nutrition, making a healthy, nourishing diet both satisfying and convenient.”
