Summer is coming and it’s definitely starting to heat up in San Diego! With school wrapping up and vacations on the horizon, schedules start to go a little bananas. But don’t let that mess up your healthy eating goals. Like always, we’ll be sweating it out in our kitchen all Summer long so YOU DON’T HAVE TO! Woot!
In this post you’ll find:
A modified menu for 4th of July Weekend – get ready for a post holiday detox!
A fun Summer freebie for our favorite clients and a way to win a $100 CCK Cash!
Important date reminders for what’s coming up this Summer.
An update on our No Waste Kitchen efforts.
Let us help you make this a great summer full of long, warm days, fun memories, and lots and lots of clean, healthy, plant forward eating!
IMPORTANT: MODIFIED MENU 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!!
The 4th of July is on a Monday this year, which means the weekend prior, we will be having a modified production for a few reasons:
Our crew needs a break.
Our kitchen is getting new floors.
You deserve a good, post holiday detox!
What does this mean for you? It means that the menu we will have available to order Friday July 1, will be dramatically different. Because we won’t have a full staff or full access to our facility, we won’t be cooking that weekend. But we also wont leave you high and dry and without any healthy options!
We will have a post holiday detox menu available! Which means you can order any combination of juices, smoothies and our delicious soups to be picked up or delivered Sunday July 3rd or delivered Monday July 4th (no pick up Monday, July 4th).
We’ll also bring our side salad back so you can order a soup and salad combo. And our treat and partner products menu will also be up and running.
We also have planned a special menu the week prior, full of entrées that will freeze and re-heat particularly well if you’d like to stock up the week of June 24th.
In summary:
June 24th: Special “freezable” menu, stock up if you want entrees the following week!
July 1st (4th of July Weekend): Modified, post holiday detox only menu and no pick up hours Monday 4th of July.
July 8th: Business as usual with a rested crew, new floors and detoxed clients!
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. We hope the soup, salad, smoothies, treats and special menu the week prior help you feel nourished & successful!
SUMMER FREEBIE + CHANCE TO WIN $100 CCK CASH!
What could possibly be cooler than custom Veggie Ninja sunglasses? We don’t know, so we had some made! And we love them so much, we’re giving them away for free all Summer long*!
Oh, I know what’s cooler: A chance to win $100 CCK Cash! Snag your shades now and snap and share a cool picture of you having fun in them this Summer and we’ll give away $100 CCK Cash!
To get your free shades: Add them to your cart in the CCK swag section of our menu. Then use code SUMMERSHADES at checkout.
To be entered to win $100 CCK Cash: Post a picture of you and your Veggie Ninja Shades (or just the shades somewhere cool) on Social Media (Facebook or Instagram) and tag us @cleanandcolorfulkitchen and use #veggieninja anytime this Summer. We’ll announce the Winner in September!

Happy Summer to all our amazing clients!
We’re cruising into another San Diego Summer…our crew is ready! We work hard every weekend, but we make sure we have fun while we do it. We hope you feel the good energy and love in all the plant forward goodness that comes out of our Kitchen!
As it looks now, the COVID-19 Quarantine lifestyle is here to stay for a bit. And while that is frustrating and frightening for many of us, it can also be a time to continue to welcome the downtime, reflect and dig into taking care of your body. We know as well as anybody that the grocery stores are not fun, and maybe plant forward cooking isn’t your jam. But if you want the benefits of from scratch, veggie heavy, delicious meals, we’d love to load you up with a Healthy Quarantine Meal Pack!
Stay in. Stock up. And SAVE!
We run an a la carte menu and our order minimum is just $30. But if you want to load up your orders during quarantine and spend less time shopping and cooking, we want to help you save some money too!
What is a Healthy Quarantine Meal Pack?
When you order a minimum of 10 entrees and 5 breakfasts per week, we’ll apply a 15% discount to your entire order as we limp through this quarantine process. Our family meals are also included in this deal! Three of our family portions are equal to 12 meals and are about the same cost. If you’re eating from home anyway, dishing out servings from a family container can make plenty of sense.
Why would I want to order a Healthy Quarantine Meal Pack?
Sooo many reasons, but we’ll list the top 5 here:
EASE: You don’t have to plan, shop, cook or clean. One order and your fridge is full!
TIME: How much time do you spend shopping or in the kitchen? What else could you create with that time?
HEALTH: Now is the time to fuel yourself with high quality, plant forward nutrition to keep your body running well and your immunity strong. We cook food that works like preventive medicine and truly has healing power.
SAVINGS: You’re going to save money, this discount is pretty significant on large orders so use it to your advantage!
SUPPORT: We are a very small, very local business and we are grateful we are able to continue our operation during this difficult time. All the revenue from your orders goes right back into the San Diego economy to purchase ingredients, pay wages, rent and more.
How do you place your Healthy Quarantine Meal Pack Order?
It’s as easy-peasy as placing any order in our system!
If you are a new client:
If you don’t have an active subscription, click on start order and select the flexible subscription plan.
Select a minimum of 10 entrees (or 3 family meals) and 5 breakfasts. But feel free to add more, as the discount applies to the entire order.
Enter your zip code to identify your pick-up and delivery options, choose what’s best for you.
At the check out screen, enter the code QK15 in the discount field at checkout to take 15% off your entire order.
Enter your payment information and complete your order.
That’s it, you’re done! You’ll automatically receive an order receipt and we’ll take care of the rest!
If you are a current client:
Start your order selection like normal.
Select a minimum of 10 entrees (or 3 family meals) and 5 breakfasts. But feel free to add more, as the discount applies to the entire order.
Click through to the check out screen and enter the code QK15 in the discount field at checkout to take 15% off your entire order.
Confirm your order and you’re all set! Remember, you have until Friday at 1pm to make any changes.
We hope that our Healthy Quarantine Meal Pack promotion offers a win win for everyone!
Please don’t hesitate to call/text our customer service line at 858-304-7632 or send an email to teresa@cleanandcolorfulkitchen with any questions at all! We look forward to cooking for you soon!
Right now, it may feel like a great time to wrap up in a blanket, bing 24/7 on the Netflix and order pizza all-day-long. And while that actually is an excellent solution for managing the stress of today, it can only be temporary.
Right now, is actually a great time to rest, but still exercise. To unwind, but also level up. To eat delicious food, but food that is good for your body and will help it stay healthy and strong.
In short, now is not the time to give up on your health goals!This quick post has two very important and useful things to help you stay healthy at home, right now:
A summary of our COVID-19 measures and responses. We have settled into a “new normal.”
Two excellent (free) resources to get and stay focused on your healthy goals at home!
CCK COVID-19 RESPONSE
It has been a wild few weeks for the food service industry everywhere. We are happy to report that we have exceeded the County of San Diego’s increased sanitation protocol orders, even before they were ordered! Here is a summary of what we are doing to continue to support our clients through this challenging time:
1. ADDED OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Our kitchen is operating with extensive precautionary procedures in place to further limit cross-contimation during this unprecedented time. This includes all staff wearing face coverings while in the kitchen, limited access to the kitchen by non-essential staff, as well as increased hand-washing and surface sanitation protocol.
2. PRICE DECREASE
Due to the chaos and financial uncertainty of this current pandemic, we put through an automatic, good will price decrease two weeks ago. We will honor that discount for all orders processed before the end of April as government relief is being deployed.
Remember, this price decrease is in addition to any new client incentives, including our referral program so now is a good time to log in, grab your referral link and SHARE it on social media.
3. SPECIAL COVID-19 MENU
The grocery store still sucks and we want to save you as many trips to it as we can. Our special COVID-19 Menu remains available and includes essentials like raw produce bags, shelf-stable non-dairy milk, and even individually wrapped, 2-play, facial grade toilet paper! Everything on this menu is available at our cost and can be added to any order for (no contact) pick up or delivery.
4. NO CONTACT PICK UP & DELIVERY
For deliveries, please just let us know where you’d like us to leave the order and we’ll text a picture once it has been delivered. However, if you live in a secure building in an urban environment, we do ask that you meet your driver on the street for a quick exchange or be available to provide quick access to your front door. We won’t leave orders in high traffic or unsafe areas.
For pick ups, we have a large table set up at our front door, so you don’t even need to step in the kitchen! Text us when you’re on the way and we’ll pull you order out and have it ready for you to grab and go. If you have any trouble parking or don’t want to leave your car, try texting us and we’ll see if someone is available to run it out to you curbside.
**Please hold onto your reusable grocery or cooler bags for right now. We’ll resume collecting and reusing when the County of San Diego advises it is safe to do so.**
TWO FREE RESOURCES TO STAY HEALTHY AT HOME
Before I opened the Clean & Colorful Kitchen in 2017, I had a digital health coaching business, Teresa Marie Wellness. As a part of that business, I would design and coach various national health challenges. Today, that is definitely still one of my passions, but due to the fact that there are only 24 hours in a day, my focus has shifted to operating this business locally.
That said, due to the unprecedented nature of todays Shelter in Place landscape, I had to get back to digital content creation. Not just for my neglected on-line audience, but also for myself. And now that these two resources exist, I highly suggest you use them at home right along with our healthy meal delivery!
DIY Alphabet Workout Plans: depending on what you choose to spell, you can easily create your own perfect, full body workouts!
Both of these blog posts share all the details, so I won’t bore you here. They have both helped me (personally) quite a bit in the past 10 days and I hope they can help you from now on!
That’s it for updates from the Clean & Colorful this week! Please send me a note with any questions, concerns or feedback you may have about the steps we are taking right now and any questions or ideas you have about staying healthy at home.
As your partners in good health, I have always wanted the Clean & Colorful Kitchen to be more than a meal delivery service. Let us know how we can help you now and well beyond this crisis! As alway, thank you for your ongoing love and support. If not for you, we simply wouldn’t exist.
