Plated is weekly meal and recipe subscription service. Each week on Monday at noon EST they release their new recipes, and you can pick which ones you are interested in or skip that week. The meals then get delivered via FedEx on the following Wednesday. The packages are sent with cooler packaging and ice packs and shipped 2-day air so everything arrives cold.
Between Plated and Hello Fresh I've become officially addicted to these meal services. The recipes are fantastic and interesting, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and of course the finished meals are amazing too!
The great thing about Plated is that while they are a subscription and offer a discount on meals if you sign up for their membership plan, you also can try the service without signing up for a membership. That's what we've done so far, but I might upgrade to the membership soon since we like Plated so much!
A look at how the vegetables and other ingredients are packaged. (They include everything besides basic ingredients like pepper and salt). The meat is packaged separately from the vegetables under the ice packs.

The first meal we tried was the Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Parsnips and Carrots
I love that they include detailed instructions with lots of pictures - I am not a very confident chef and need all the help I can get!
This meal was delicious and very sophisticated! It definitely seemed like a meal I would order at a fancy restaurant!
The other meal we ordered was the Seared Tuna Sushi Bowl.
My husband loves spicy tuna rolls, so we decided to give this one a try even though I had never cooked fish before!
Fortunately it turned out great - it tasted just like sushi in a bowl!
Verdict: I can't say enough good things about Plated - I love it! I definitely recommend trying it with the coupon - I think it's worth it. (I've been encouraging all my family and friends to sign up I like it so much!)
Have you tried Plated yet? What do you think of it?
