We Tried Trifecta’s Meal Prep Ingredients for a Week – Here’s How They Fit Into Our Kids’ Lunchboxes

When the Teuko Lunchbox Community was invited to try a surprise box from Trifecta, we said yes without hesitation. At Teuko, we’re all about making lunch packing easier, healthier… and fun! So what happens when a box full of clean proteins and smart shortcuts arrives at our door?

Our co-founder Jessica tested Trifecta’s prepared proteins and snacks over a week of real-life lunches for two busy teens, plus weekend brunches with the whole family. This is our honest (and delicious) review. 🍱

📦 First Impressions: Trifecta Meal Prep Delivery

We received items from the Trifecta’s Meal Prep Plan, featuring fully cooked portions of beef, salmon, chicken, pulled pork, egg bites, brownies, and even cilantro lime jasmine rice.

The box arrived fresh, cold, and well-packed, even after sitting on the doorstep for a few hours. Their eco-friendly packaging system (ClimaCell®, made in the USA) made a great first impression. Everything was labeled clearly and stored safely in the fridge for use throughout the week.

🍳 Saturday Brunch: Egg Bites & Brownies

We kicked things off with the Sous Vide Egg Bites – fully cooked and ready after a quick 10-minute reheat in the oven. The texture was fluffy and just the right amount of savory. These were a hit across all ages.

For dessert, we split Trifecta’s High-Protein Brownies, which felt more like fudgy chocolate fondants. So rich, we halved them and paired each with strawberries or pears. Yum!

🐟 Sunday: Salmon + Spinach Lunch

The Fully-Cooked Grilled Salmon (processed in Europe) was a time-saver, but personally, we prefer fresher fish. Still, with organic baby spinach and soba noodles, it made a nutritious lunch in under 15 minutes.
