Inspired by nature, The Ranch's artfully prepared, organic plant-based cuisine is a highlight for our guests and a key component of our results-driven approach. The Ranch team has been cooking with plant proteins for more than 20 years and is passionate about offering complete, nutrient-dense meals with an element of surprise. The daily diet (about 1400 calories each day) features the finest fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, legumes and seeds, while excluding alcohol, caffeine, dairy, soy, processed sugars, diet sweeteners and gluten to aid in the cleansing and revitalization process.
Using ingredients sourced from the onsite certified organic garden or nearby local farms, research and care has been strategically stirred, sous-vide-d and baked into every nutritionally balanced bite. Chefs are constantly adjusting the menu, based on what’s in season, and draw upon the latest technologies and techniques to satiate guests with familiar flavors. Offering innovative, plant-based takes on classic comfort foods, the favorite meals of guests include warm spinach and zucchini lasagna prepared with marinara sauce and the finest nut-based ricotta cheese, gluten-free pizzas with an ever-changing list of toppings and sauces, our signature Burrito Bowl and a hearty yet flavorful Portobello steak.
Guests enjoy meals in a communal setting whether in our dining room at The Ranch Malibu or post-hike lunches on the beach. Mealtimes are also used as an opportunity to discuss and educate guests on the tools for maintaining the healthy habits learned from their stay. We are able to accommodate most allergies and the calorie count can also be adjusted for those guests not looking to lose weight.
