Tempo Fuels Eaters Further with New Line of Protein Max Meals

The new meals help maximize protein while minimizing prep time

CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To meet wellness-minded customers' growing demand for more protein, prepared meal delivery service Tempo is launching a new lineup of Protein Max meals – packed with 40+ grams of protein in each single-serving meal. These new two-minute meals not only prioritize protein, but also provide balanced lunch or dinner options with fiber-rich and gut supportive ingredients, like fresh vegetables, legumes, scratch-made sauces, and more.

"Every Tempo menu is informed by direct customer feedback, and when we ask customers what meal types they want to see more of, protein-packed is the number one response by far," said Andrew Isabel, VP of new product development at Tempo. "Whether you're actively increasing protein intake or you're just looking for a more satisfying ready-to-heat meal, Tempo's Protein Max line is an easy choice."

And it's not just Tempo customers looking to increase their protein intake. Protein is the second most sought-after ingredient in the country,* beaten only by vegetables – both of which Tempo customers can find in abundance as part of this new menu offering.

With six or more Protein Max meals available each week, Tempo offers satisfying options that don't skimp on flavor or protein variety – from grilled chicken to braised beef. Some of the new Protein Max meals on the Tempo menu include:

• Braised Beef Tomato Ragù Cavatappi with green beans and Parmesan
• Tomato Truffle Chicken Gemelli with Parmesan, peas, and broccoli
• Japanese BBQ Pulled Pork with garlic rice and vegetables
• Hibachi Teriyaki Chicken Thighs with roasted ginger garlic carrots
• Smoky Chipotle Beef Burrito Bowl with fiesta rice and roasted zucchini
• BBQ Smokehouse Pulled Pork Bowl with rice and roasted vegetables

"With these new meals, we're maximizing protein, but we're also making sure they're balanced in flavor and other nutrients," said Nigel Palmer, executive R&D chef at Tempo. "Many of these meals are inspired by classic comfort foods that folks may not associate with high-protein or high-fiber eating – but we always aim to create meals that taste just as delicious as a home-cooked recipe."

The Protein Max meals are an extension of Tempo's protein-packed line, which features quick, balanced meals with 30+ grams of protein per serving. No matter customers' wellness goals, Tempo offers a wide array of nourishing meals with options like GLP-1 Smart,** Calorie and Carb-Conscious, Fiber-Rich, Pescatarian, Anti-Inflammatory, and more.

Tempo also recently debuted freshly-made Breakfast on its menu, including flavor-packed, filling options like Greek-Style Breakfast Scramble with spinach and roasted potatoes and a Classic Protein Pancake Breakfast with breakfast sausage and scrambled eggs. These breakfasts each have 20+ grams of protein per serving so busy folks can start their days strong – without dirtying dishes before lunchtime.
