What is realistically the easiest meal prep company out there that delivers to you door? Expecting #2 soon and have a toddler at home. My husband doesn’t get paternity leave sadly and is honestly a hazard in the kitchen anyways. I’ve been doing Costco prepared meals lately, but they are all very heavy, don’t have a lot of veggies or nutritional value, and are getting dull without any menu rotation. I’m hoping for something that will be oven ready or need less than 10-15 minutes prep.

If you’re in NY/NJ area, eat clean bro is pretty good, I haven’t found other services to be as flavorful. They are also fully prepared, just need to reheat

Should add - all the food is fully cooked and just needs to be reheated. They have lots of dinner entree and side options each week, as well as lunch, breakfast and kid options. Not cheap, but we have a 3 yr old and are expecting #2 soon and it's been a lifesaver for us since covid!

I’ve been searching all over for genuinely easy meals (like pop in oven or do minimal prepr) that aren’t like plastic wrapped individual meals. I haven’t found anything yet😩.

It is, and you can choose healthier options or slightly more indulgent ones (e.g., you can do filet mignon with broccoli in a light vinaigrette or filet mignon with Parmesan potatoes). They provide all the calorie/nutrition info on the weekly order page. And you can skip if you’re not feeling the menu for a particular week. There is a cost to buy the oven, but scope it out bc they offer it for $99 with return and refund option frequently. I can send a discount code if you’d like but did not post one bc I get such benefit out of Tovala that I don’t want my rec to be less impactful due to potential personal gain. Tovala has dramatically simplified my life and I’m happy to send them $80-$100 a week for fresh food that requires 5 min of my time to prep and then we eat. Now if I can just convince my little kids to eat it also, I’ll be all set 😉

Hungryroot. Seriously - I love the 5 minute meals.

Sakara delivers nationwide and it comes already prepared. All you can eat cold, some have the option of warming. It’s delicious, healthy, and note also meat free. I do not regularly order only when I have a trial, heavy workload or as a treat to be able to skip meal prep. It’s on the pricier end, but totally worth it. I am not vegan so I will add grilled chicken to salads and things when I feel like it. I buy prep cooked grilled chicken at Sam’s Club weekly and will use it.

Am I doing my math right that it’s $30/meal?

I love prepping meals in gallon sized bags and throwing in the freezer. Think one pan meals or crock pot meals.

Seconding Home Chef

I do SunBasket and Marley Spoon but they are both about 30 minutes of prep most of the time (15ish sometimes for things like pasta, and they do offer oven ready and pre-prepped meals too)
