Freshly Meal Delivery May 2018 Review
I received a list of the meals included in this month's box.
The 6 meals arrived in one big box – all surrounded by ice packs. The plastic seals on each meal were tight and sealed the food very well. Everything arrived in great condition and intact. I appreciated the recycling directions.
Steak Peppercorn with Sauteed Carrots & French Green Beans
Calories per Serving: 490
This meal was impressive. The meat was incredibly tender and had a great flavor. The vegetables were still crisp, but they were under seasoned. The potatoes were simple potatoes. This was our favorite meal.
Grilled Chicken Risotto with Spring Peas
Calories per Serving: 490
The chicken was actually incredibly tender, especially for reheated meat. The risotto had a nice flavor, especially with more salt and pepper. The green peas still popped. Very impressive.
Calories per Serving: 540
The chili had decent flavor and was a big step above canned chili. It was definitely not as good as homemade, but it was still decent.
Cod Cakes with Spicy Chipotle Sauce and Succotash
Calories per Serving: 660
These Cod Cakes did not taste fishy, instead, the southwestern style sauce was the main flavor. They were perfectly cooked and easy to reheat. The vegetables on the side were decent. The potatoes were very bland.
Green Chile and Sausage Frittata
Calories per Serving: 430
This frittata and the Denver omelette were very similar. The eggs were still very fluffy and the cheese is the right cheesiness for the dish. This one wasn’t quite as good as the Denver omelette, it was missing a little flavor. But it still was very decent.
Denver Omelette with Cage-Free Eggs
Calories per Serving: 410
The omelette needed lots of seasonings. It was a very decent portion size for the average person. The eggs were very fluffy and the flavors after some salt and pepper were good. Overall, it was not mushy and was a decent omelette.
Verdict: I was impressed with Freshly. In only a couple minutes, we had a delicious meal that was healthy and filling– it’s a great way to have a quick meal without taking the time to prepare it yourself. It doesn't look appetizing in the packaging honestly, but after plating it and taking the first bite you forget about that. If you are busy, with no time to cook, but you want to eat healthily, then Freshly would be a great option for you.
