My Muscle Chef
Build Your Plate Your Way
If you've shopped My Muscle Chef before, you'll know the red tray. It's what we're known for.. Ready to heat and eat straight from the fridge. Dinner's done. Designed for convenience and consistency, giving you the same great meal, every time, with zero decisions required. Now there's a second way to enjoy dinner. The Protein Meal Base range has the same slow-cooked quality, but can be built differently, giving you control to decide what goes on the plate.
What is the Protein Meal Base?
A Protein Meal Base is exactly what it sounds like. Premium Australian chicken or beef, slow-cooked, paired with our delicious chef-made sauce. What makes it different from our regular ready meals is that it stops there on purpose. Our meal bases do the hard part, leaving the sides up to you.
Stacked It Your Way: Giving you control over what goes on your plate
Our meal bases give you control over what lands on your plate. Take for example, thePeri Peri Chicken Meal Base. It’s our slow-cooked premium Australian chicken, paired with a bold peri peri sauce that packs flavour and heat. The chicken and sauce are the only fixed parts; the same pack can turn into completely different meals depending on the sides you add.
Some nights you may feel like something light and fast. On others, you may want it to fuel the beast. The Peri Peri Chicken Meal Base doesn't ask you to choose in advance; it flexes either way.
Each pack makes two serves, so it can be built across a couple of nights, or perfect for a meal for two. Same quality, same shortcut on the hard part, way more say over the rest.
Here are some mouth-watering meal ideas, stacked for your taste and appetite level.
Light or loaded? Same base, but a different plate every time
It's the same slow-cooked chicken and peri peri sauce both times; only the sides change the meal.
Why does Peri Peri Meal Base make sense?
Weeknight dinner. Five minutes in the pan and it's ready, about as fast as dinner gets without ordering in.
Post-workout. With up to 86g of protein per pack, it's an easy way to help support muscle recovery after training, without needing to think about what else to cook.
Meal prep. Each pack makes two serves, so it works as one for tonight and one for tomorrow, or a base you can prep across a few nights ahead. It'll keep refrigerated for up to five days, so there's room to plan the week rather than just the night.
Dinner for two. Two serves per pack means it's built for sharing, whether that's a partner, a housemate, or just a bigger appetite on the night.
However your week looks, whether you’re training hard, feeding two, or just wanting dinner sorted without the thinking. Our Peri Peri meal base builds a meal that actually works for you.
