I like meal kits because they motivate me to cook homemade meals and my family likes them bc it’s hilarious to watch me cook but they still get a good meal.

Having not experienced meal kits, I would love to test quality in term of freshness, taste, and authenticity. Having eaten Chinese food in China, Indian food in India, creole food in New Orleans, I would love to discover if there are meals that truly go beyond bland version of meat and potatoes.

My favorite thing about meal kits are that is “Less Stress” for having a busy lifestyle. When attemping recipes its the prep time that takes away the fun of cooking for me. By the time I start, smell the food, and sit down to eat because my olfactory system is in overload im just not hungry anymore. Most likely Ive also forgotten something like one spoce or an herb that totally changes your the way yout entire meal tastes. When having pre-preped meals sent to your home for me its more enjoyable for all. The meals are portioned, they are healthier and on food delivery websites you visually get an idea of what your going to be plating not onky yourself,but maybe your family too. When everything comes out looking and tasting great at a fast rate you just feel appreciated and confidnet about the consensus of your meal in your household. Nothing is worse than having a long day, preping and then cooking,serving, eatin, tryjng to digesting and then cleaning up the kitchen and dinning room just to hear: Can we have pizza tomorrow the because it took so long to prepare a real reciped meal after everyone eats by 11pm your gang or significant other is hungry again and you wake up to a sink full of dishes because the store bought cheesecake was crushed while the cook is sound asleep. Lol In the end meal boxes are just the way to go for convienence, now for health safety, and an overall sense of security for the head chef. I know my meals eill come out timely, great tasting,nutritious, and all the way GREEN!

Would love to know which meal kits you like. I’ve only tried Hello Fresh but as new boxes came the produce started looking less fresh and they also charged me after I had canceled and charged me anyway! Thanks for your time!

My favorite thing about meal kits is that they make eating healthy easier. They are always cheaper than going out. By the time you typically go pickup your food and get home you have to reheat anyways, by cooking at home you know what you are getting every time.

My favorite thing about meal kits is that I don’t have to plan out different meals for the week and shop for a bunch of ingredients. Everything is done for me!

Meal kits give you a chance to experiment outside of your recipes comfort zone without committing to multiple pounds of meat, veg, or other ingredients you don’t need. Nothing worse than needing 1/4 tsp of a spice and only being able to buy a $7.49 jar of it!

I have been anxious to try a meal kit as I work long hours and never seen to have time to plan new and exciting meals for my family. I would love to review!

I love that meal kits allow me to stay on track with my health and financial goals by avoiding takeout calories and cost. This in addition to the time saved grocery shopping and meal planning plus reduced food waste is why I’ve been ordering weekly meal kits for two years now.

I love meal kits because it’s fun to look and pick your meals online. Then you receive your food (which is always exciting) then you get to commune in the kitchen with any loved ones you have, putting it together. That’s always fun! And finally eat? The food is always fresh, and you know what’s going in it. You can’t go wrong!
Thank you for the opportunity! (;

My favorite thing about meal kits is that they get me out of my comfort zone! I cook dinner every night at home, so it is nice to have something new to test out – I’ve been able to add a lot of great recipes to my rotation from meal kits. I volunteer as tribute!!

I enjoy meal kits because they cut time out from having to prep ingredients. As a full-time college student who also works full-time I find it necessary for time saving options when preparing food. I would be interested to know how shipments for meal delivery kits hold up under the hot desert sun. I would also like to know the quality of food being delivered and to see if portion sizes hold me over on a busy day.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I would love to do this with my son, so when he goes off to college he will have other options besides Ramen 🙂

I love getting my meal kits! But I can also be pretty critical, I am focused on fresh and reliable delivery, quality of both meat and produce, how well the recipe is written and if it’s as easy or hard as they say, how does the final dish look and most importantly how it tastes! I have a teenager and a picky husband so we really go through it finding good options sometimes! I would love to be a part of the review community, I read them all the time and think it would be fun to jump in the game with you all! Thanks for creating this space!

Meal kits provide all the elements for an often new recipe without a stressful trip to the market. They are perfect for my household, and if it’s just me, lunch the next day too. It’s just an excellent option when I’m tired after work, they truly ease the burden.
