Los Angeles, Calif., April 28, 2007 – Vegin’ Out, L.A.’s best healthy, vegan weekly meal delivery service, announced today it has expanded its delivery area to all of Southern California, including Riverside, San Bernardino and surrounding communities.
Vegin’ Out offers a new menu each week based on fresh vegetables, whole grains, leafy greens, and plant-based sources of protein. Each dish is free of meat, dairy, cholesterol and trans-fats. A single order consists of three different entrees, four side dishes, soup, and homemade cookies for dessert; enough to serve nine to ten meals.
Through an agreement with DHL, Vegin’ Out is now able to ship freshly prepared meals using insulated shipping cartons at a flat $15 fee throughout Southern California.

“With this arrangement, customers all over the Riverside-San Berandino area have a healthy dining option that is more affordable and more convenient than takeout, and has all the health and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet,” said Dan Boissy, who co-owns Vegin’ Out with his brother Tim. “Our vegan and vegetarian friends outside of Los Angeles have been waiting for this news for some time, particularly those who live in areas where healthy fast food can be hard to find.”

Nutritional chef Tim Boissy heads a culinary team that sources the best and freshest ingredients, including locally grown and organic foods as often as possible. Typically about 75 percent of the company’s ingredients are certified organic.
“It’s been a godsend for me,” said Vegin’ Out customer McKerrin Kelly, an actor, director, personal trainer and coach. “I don’t have time to shop and cook as much as I’d like to, and eating out all the time isn’t an option, so Vegin’ Out is the best of all possible worlds. It’s great food, and it’s in my fridge when I need it.”
Vegan diets contain no animal ingredients (such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy) and have been shown to prevent heart disease and strokes; lower blood pressure; reduce the risk of most cancers; defend against gallstones, kidney stones, and osteoporosis; prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes, and help maintain a healthy weight.
Orders can be placed online or via phone, and should be placed by Friday at 5 p.m. for delivery the following week. Orders placed for local Los Angeles delivery arrive on Mondays, and orders shipped via DHL arrive on Tuesdays. Because there is no meat or dairy in Vegin’ Out meals, they keep extremely well if refrigerated upon delivery. A single order consisting of nine to ten meals costs $100, and a double order is $180. Shipping costs an additional $15.
