Remember when beauty boxes were all the rage? It was peachy to know every month or so a shipment of expertly-curated makeup, skin, and hair care gems would arrive in your package room like clockwork. While we’re always keen to receive a new lip gloss or dry shampoo, isn’t it even peachier that the subscription model has expanded to the things needed for daily sustenance? The proliferation of culinary-forward subscriptions over the past few years means our shelves can stay stocked with the highest quality coffee, tea, olive oil, spices, and most importantly protein for our wellness goals. Without trudging through annoying weather patterns, juggling fluctuating prices, and unpredictability in all corners of life, we can guarantee that our fave morsels and meals are always at hand with minimal effort.
To celebrate the official beginning of the grilling season, the first chapter in this selection of culinary-forward subscription series is devoted to protein. Whether paleo, keto, pescatarian, or just clean eating, adequate protein – up to 100 grams daily for women from some experts – is the building block for any functional diet. Not all animal protein is created equal. Even without factoring in growth-hormones, antibiotics, and unsanitary, inhumane conditions, studies have shown that ethically raised grass-fed meat and wild caught seafood are better for us and the environment than traditionally farmed options.
For pescatarians and seafood lovers, wild-caught salmon, halibut, rockfish, scallops, and shrimp are the holy grail. Shipping this cornucopia of omega-rich proteins caught daily in pristine Alaskan waters is a mission Wild Alaskan Company takes seriously. 3rd generation fisherman and founder Arron Kallenberg, who sources his catch from the same coastal areas fished by his father and grandfather for decades, founded the company to share this family tradition of freshness and sustainability with a variety of subscription boxes.
The most popular Wild Combo Box delivers 12 or 24 individual 6 oz. portions of what’s in season, from Coho Salmon, Pacific Cod, Pacific Halibut, Sockeye Salmon, Wild Alaskan Pollock, Sablefish, and more. For the salmon-obsessed there’s a Wild Salmon Box option, and for the salmon-averse there’s a Wild Whitefish Box packed with several types of Wild Cod, Pollock, Halibut, and Rockfish. With the introductory promotion of $25 off, the ultra-fresh, sustainably-caught protein subscription averages out to $10 per serving – a bargain for such delicious salmon and halibut. A simple marinade of high-quality olive or avocado oil and spices, and condiments free of sugar and seed oils listed in Summer Grilling Season Done Right with Healthy Oils and Condiments are all that’s need for maximum flavor and nutrition.
Pickier, high-maintenance seafood lovers will appreciate the potential addition of Hot and Cold Smoked Salmon and Salmon Burgers in the Custom Box. Season à la carte add-ons include wild-caught Snow Crabs and Red King Crabs. Wild Alaskan Company boxes are shipped in insulated packaging with ample dry ice and available on a customized shipping schedule that accommodates skipped months.
Whether serving Grilled Salmon or Alaskan Seafood Boil, all Wild Alaskan Company offerings are perfect forJuly 4th Weekend.
Let’s discuss meat, red meat… It’s had a bad wrap for a few decades, but grass-fed and regenerative meats have turned the table. A new generation of ranchers, farmers, and land stewards, like the founders of Force of Nature, have made it their business to remind us that bison, beef, elk, and even wild boar allowed to roam and graze across pesticide-free pastures taste as good as they make us feel. Not only do regenerative practices balance ecosystems, retain water, and treat animals humanely, they yield incredibly tasty, wellness-focused protein sources.
With a boosted nutritional profile, grass-fed meat is higher in iron, omega-3 acids, amino acids, B Vitamins, and antioxidants that contribute to lower inflammation, higher metabolism, and better heart health.
As an introduction to the world of juicy, delicious, pasture-fed red meat our ancestors enjoyed, Force of Nature offers several specially curated boxes and à la carte sources of high-quality regenerative premium cuts and ground meat blends. To kick off grilling season, The Grill Master Box includes 12 individually packaged selections of Grass-Fed Beef NY Strip, Grass Fed-Beef Ribeye, Grass-Fed Bison Ribeye, and Grass-Fed, Pasture-Raised Venison Tomahawk Steak.
The Best Damn Steak Box will satisfy any steak-lover with 12 delicious, never gamey, 100% Grass-Fed Steaks: Beef Ribeye, Beef NY Strip, Beef Flat Iron, Beef Picanha Steaks, Venison Tomahawk, and Pasture-Raised Venison Steak Medallions.
To keep the freezer stocked for burger and sausage nights, the newly launched Ancestral Blends Box contains 100% Grass-Fed, collagen, creatine, and iron-rich ground Ancestral Beef, ground Ancestral Bison, Grass-Fed Venison, Ancestral, Beef Meatballs, Sausages, and Organic Ground Ancestral Chicken. After one bite of a Grass-Fed Force of Nature steak or burger, you’ll never look at supermarket meat the same again.
Notable and uniquely scrumptious à la carte choices and my recommended-palette-wowing favorites include Free Range Wild Boar Chorizo Sausage and Grass-Fed Bison Tenderloin Filet. Similar to Wild Alaskan Seafood, all Force of Nature of shipments arrive in insulated packaging with ample dry ice to assure peak freshness.
Try Grilled Bison Tenderloin filets with Romesco, a Brazilian-inspired Grass-fed Picanha or BBQ Organic-Fed Whole Chicken for July 4th Entertaining.
Happy Fourth of July and Happy Grilling Season!!
