As a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient, is preparing healthy meals a challenge for you? If so, you’re not alone. The kidney diet is often complex and may require multiple restrictions. In an effort to make healthy eating easier and more sustainable, companies EatLove and Sunbasket have partnered to provide patients with personalized and adaptive diet solutions. Learn more about these two companies and how they aim to help patients access nutritious, flavorful meals.* 

What is EatLove?

EatLove provides personalized, on-demand nutrition plans, meal recommendations, and coaching from a registered dietitian (RD). Using an app, users are able to view recipes, grocery lists, and more to meet the needs of their medical conditions, diet preferences, and budget.

What is Sunbasket? 

Sunbasket is a meal delivery company whose mission is to “empower people to live their healthiest lives, starting with what’s on their forks.” They aim to do this by delivering nutrient-rich, ready-to-heat meals to clients’ doorsteps. Meals are crafted in collaboration by chefs and dietitians to make healthy eating easy and sustainable. 

How are EatLove and Sunbasket partnering? 

In support of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, Sunbasket and Eatlove are collaborating to offer patients paid nutrition solutions that are delivered through EatLove’s mobile app. Each patient is given an individualized nutrition prescription from an RD, and is provided appropriate meal solutions through Sunbasket. 

EatLove’s proprietary AI Nutritionist, LENA® analyzes and evaluates foods across more than 100 macro- and micronutrients and 30 common health conditions. From there, the app provides patients with a dynamic feed of meals and snacks from Sunbasket that takes into consideration each patient’s genetic history, disease status, nutrient status, food preferences, and overall lifestyle. 

Understanding that each person’s lifestyle is different, Sunbasket allows consumers to choose from ready-to-heat meals or meal cooking kits, which are all delivered right to your door. Over time, a person’s health and lifestyle are likely to change. Sunbasket and EatLove’s personalized meal feed is designed to evolve and adapt with updated nutrition prescriptions and food options. 

​​Integrating home delivery and individualized nutrition prescriptions into our healthcare system is essential to helping patients follow a nutrition plan. EatLove’s CEO, Monique Nadeau, is excited about the new initiative. “The Sunbasket partnership enables EatLove to more fully realize our vision of personalized nutrition for every patient,” she says, “by removing much of the friction associated with planning, shopping, and preparing healthy meals every day.”
