Recommendations for prepared meal delivery services? Husband and I have 2 small kiddos and nighttime is crazy. We’ve been ordering prepared dinners weekly from CookUnity (they microwave in 2 min) and it’s been a huge lift on our stress in the 6-9pm window. However we’re a little tired of the choices. Tried Factor years ago and everything felt salty and mushy.

Honestly, do a trial on all of them. I just did hello fresh, fresh, blue apron, and next week is green chef, after that sun basket. The companies give amazing deals on the first few boxes and AMEX gives cash back. Once it stops being advantageous, I cancel. I’ve saved so much money on food the last two months. The next time I go grocery shopping will probably be late July.

I’d try factor again. I’ve had them the last two months and food was amazing (I also tried cook unity)

I’d even give some Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods prepped meals a try honestly.

The quality can’t be that different and it’s definitely good for the price. If you pay $10 for Amazon food delivery, you can easily get bistro/prepped items delivered.

Whole Foods has entire meals that are packed and ready to heat. I like the stuff from Costco in their deli/prepared section. The stuffed peppers, taco kits, salmon, and rotisserie chicken (and the chicken salad) are all super fast. Just put it in the oven to bake while you do other things, or microwave/pan heat if it's a kit or the chicken. Put on salad greens and done. For individual microwaveable meals, I also like ordering from Eat Clean Bro if you're in the NY metro area. It's a small local company, everything is made fresh daily, and it's not overly salted or seasoned. I don't love their breakfast options personally, but simple and healthy lunch and dinners are great.

The meal kits from Whole Foods are great. For around $27 it’s enough for lunch or dinner for one for the whole week, with extra to spare.

Note: this is more of a “mental health” objective, we know a lot of meal services are not particularly low in calorie and many are high in sodium.

I really liked sun basket. Not fully prepped but I liked the food. Finally got tired of it after a year.

I don't know where you are located but if Feast & Fettle is an option for you, I would try it. 100% prepared and they have family style portions. GoNutre is also really good but not so much a family thing.

Hungryroot. It’s the perfect blend of “home-cooked” and convenience. All the recipes are like 3-4 convenience ingredients (sous vide chicken, salads kits, microwaveable rice). Most things take less than 15 minutes to make and it doesn’t require more than like one skillet to make.

helpful

All the ingredients are higher quality, mostly organic, and they have seed oil free options as well as other dietary options

If you’re in a region they serve, highly recommend Feast & Fettle. Great options, and they even have a kids menu in addition to the adults.

Side note: the energy bites are always good. Chocolate chip cookie dough is my current fave.

This link should get you half off your first week if you decide to go that route. Enjoy!

If you want easy and not mushy I’m a big fan of tovala - they sell a smart oven you can use on its own or also buy the meals. The meals cook on their own in the smart oven (which can rotate through bake, steam, and broil), and I like that I can put something in and walk away for 20 min and come back to something cooked (vs microwaved). You do need to get the oven (about microwave sized), but they often have deals where the oven is very discounted if you get a few weeks of food. (Also useful for super easy salmon, etc with oven presets via app, when you don’t order the meals, and it can replace having a toaster oven)

Have you ever set foot in something called a grocery store? Where you can shop for your own healthy choices? And if you haven't noticed, grocery stores are very strategic about placing items as they do, where they do. If you are looking for healthier choices, you would quickly realize that you must stay in the outside aisles.
