Protein That Pulls Its Weight: Tony’s Protein Picks in Denver
Protein is having a moment.
Good. It has been doing the work all along.
Protein is found in every cell in the body and helps build and maintain muscles, bones, organs and skin. How much you need depends on your body, lifestyle and overall diet, but the basic idea is simple: protein matters.(NIH MedlinePlus)
At Tony’s, we aren’t interested in turning dinner into a science experiment. No powders. No gimmicks. Just quality meat, seafood, eggs, cheese and prepared foods that earn their place on the plate.
Here are a few of our current Tony’s Protein Picks.
Stock the Freezer with Ground Beef
A well-stocked freezer solves a lot of problems. Ground beef can become burgers, meatballs, tacos, meat sauce or dinner when nobody remembered to make a plan.
Tony’s current freezer-ready options include:
- 10 lb. 80–90% Lean Ground Beef Pack — $65.98
- 10 lb. 95% Lean Ground Beef Pack — $75.98
Divide the pack into meal-size portions before freezing. Future you will be grateful.
Bring Home Something from the Seafood Counter
Ahi tuna and swordfish are substantial cuts that don’t need much interference. A hot grill, a cast-iron pan, a little seasoning and enough restraint not to overcook them.
Current seafood picks include:
- 2 lb. Ahi Tuna Seafood Family Pack — $29.98
- 2 lb. Swordfish Seafood Family Pack — $32.98
Serve them with roasted vegetables, a crisp salad or whatever happens to be in the refrigerator. Good seafood does most of the work for you.
Make Breakfast Easier
Breakfast should not require a meeting.
Tony’s Bacon & Swiss Egg Bites give you a quick, satisfying option for busy mornings, post-workout hunger or that awkward stretch between lunch and dinner.
They’re available refrigerated or frozen:
- Bacon & Swiss Egg Bites, 4 pk. — $7.99
Warm them up and get on with your day.
Let the Deli Handle Dinner
Sometimes you want a solid meal without cooking one from scratch. That is where the deli earns its keep.
Our current prepared picks include:
- Lemon Dill Planked Salmon — $26.99/lb.
- Grilled Chicken Breast — $16.99/lb.
The grilled chicken is ready for salads, sandwiches, wraps or eating directly from the container while standing at the kitchen counter. The planked salmon brings together rich fish, bright lemon and dill without leaving you a sink full of dishes.
Don’t Forget the Cheese
Protein does not have to arrive as a steak.
Parmesan Reggiano — $21.99/lb. brings savory, nutty flavor to pasta, salads, roasted vegetables and just about anything else that needs help. Grate it, shave it or break off a piece while dinner is cooking. We won’t judge.
Meal Prep Without Turning Sunday into a Shift
For a freezer full of options, September’s Pikes Peak Pack includes ten ready-to-cook favorites for $179.99:
- Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Chicken Kiev
- White or Wild Mushroom Finishing Sauce
- Stuffed Pork Chops
- Tony’s Extra Thick Bacon
- Pork Al Pastor Taco Meat
- Berkshire Pork Tenderloin
- 95% Lean Ground Beef
- Ground Chicken

You’ll also receive a jar of Tony’s Original Butcher Salt, a $13.99 value, with the pack.
Order the Pikes Peak Pack online or stop by your nearest Tony’s Market.
A Better Way to Stock Up
Buying protein for the week does not need to be complicated. Start with three categories:
- Something ready now: Grilled chicken, planked salmon or egg bites.
- Something for later: Ground beef or a seafood family pack.
- Something for the freezer: A Tony’s meat bundle with several meals already covered.
That gives you options without requiring seven carefully labeled meal-prep containers and an entire Sunday afternoon.
