About

I love no cook meal preps and fun meal boxes with interesting foods. Fan of meats and plant-based eating. My first meal box was Blue Apron. My favorite meal boxes right now are Pete's Paleo and Clover.

Nutre is a great value - Chicken Marsala

"The Nutre Meals Chicken Marsala was excellent. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the green beans were tasty as well. The flavoring and sauce were solid. The pricing offers a great value and the delivery to my door was much appreciated. Nutre has full ingredients, calorie, and dietary information. There are complete heating instructions and also allergens listed. This is a great local boston based business that serves the North Shore and beyond. These meals are great for busy professionals and people trying to get in shape or lose weight. The portion sizes are medium to large. I would recommend this service if you want something reliable."

Betr Health Meals are Excellent

"OK, so I was really excited to order and try BETR health meals. First of all, there brand story and information about losing weight is very compelling. I wanted to see if their meal delivery lived up the hype! and it did! BETR Health is a health weight loss food company that provides level 1 and level 2 meals to restore and improve your gut health. I read the reviews before I ordered and everyone was raving about how the meals transformed their life so I was super excited to try. I am not in the weight loss program or even trying to lose weight but I wanted to get meals delivered so I thought I would give them a try. I had to order about $200 of food as a minimum order amount so that was less than optimal. I prefer to order $60-$100 in food in the first order and have a coupon code but since it was BETR health, I decided I would make an exception. I ordered mostly level 1 foods and it was beef chili, beef with eggplant, chicken cacciatore and vegetable dishes like steamed cabbage. The food taste and quality was 10/10 but I thought the serving size was a bit misleading. The serving sizes are like 200 calories which to me seems too low to get by. In the end, I didn't eat much of the steamed vegetables like cabbage because it was just too much plain vegetables and I love veggies. So all in all, the food was great and perfectly cooked but I didn't think it had the value for a $200 min and if I wasn't in their program, which I am not, I wouldn't do it again. I am glad I tried it and it lived up the hype!"

Best meal box around - hands down.

"Clover meal boxes are the pinnacle of meal boxes.
First off, if you are vegetarian or just love plant-based foods and delicious, hearty meals for a great value, you must try clover meal boxes.The food is so fresh and tasty that it will blow you away. Throw in the perfect shipping, local delivery, communications, and attention to detail to perfecting the home eating experience, this meal box is unmatched. I would give it 6 stars! if I could.First, Clover offers their one-off boxes like the chickpea fritter sandwiches which is most similar to what you would get in their local restaurants and they also have weekly day boxes like Taco Tuesday, Burger Thursday or Pasta Saturday. When the food arrives, it is so fresh, individually packaged so you can mix and match the provided ingredients. There is always so much left over that I use the ingredients in other foods throughout the week. I love the pickled slaws, and salads and sauces. You usually get about 10 ingredients per box, in quart containers individually labeled and with allergens listed. The recipes are usually very easy to heat and assembly. My one area for improvement is to keep the menus and prep time simple, some recipes take 5 minutes, so take 15 minutes. I am more of the fan of less reading, less cooking to get eating.The quality, diversity of the plant based ingredients is where clover shines, rarely any processed foods besides fresh bread, hyper locally sourced everything and attention to detail, pride in every box they offer. They always have exciting rotations and special add-ins. We got free pizza pans for Pizza Friday and we got these tasty donuts as a sample, they are always doing this to delite you and... they take feedback and their drivers are professional, and make you feel warm inside when they showup in a clover truck, not sure why but when I open that clover box, I feel healthier and know that I am getting a real chef-prepared delight tonight!If you like plant-based foods or vegetarian, it's a must try in the local Boston area, they are always increasing their delivery radius to the suburbs, so definitely contact them because they are great with feedback, always improving and open to feedback.Their pricing and delivery is a tremendous value! I hope they continue to offer the one-off boxes that they had at the start of their service that was a wide array or samplings! Those were the best, the weekly ones are great too but something about their samplers, just was unreal!"

Eat Fit is excellent.

"What I really like about Eat Fit, is the meal prep is fresh and local. It's not some fancy marketing thing where there is alot of packaging. Eat Fit is just what you need. The delivery and communication of the home delivery is top notch. The owner even reached out to us when we first tried them and offer discounts on our second order. I just get a very warm feeling about this meal service and that's why I love their food. The food is excellent, healthy, is an elite all-around service if you are looking for local, professional and trustworthy. It's simple and basic so if you want fancy recipes, this might not be the best choice for you. If you want healthy whole foods that come from food ingredients, then this is a great choice. They have macros, expiration date, and label clearly which gives you the confidence about their food prep and delivery service. "

Pete's Paleo is Gold Standard for Meal Prep

"Pete's Paleo is the gold standard of meal prep. Fresh, seasonal, vacuum packed, organic meals with vegetables. Perfected portioned and delivers excellent for eating now or freezing. This is one of my favorite meal preps to freeze. It heats so well and the vacuum seal fills up like a popcorn balloon so you know you won't be getting any frozen sections. The food is tasty and it's definitely for meat lovers, paleo style but also great if you are not paleo. My favorite meals are the pork but all the meats always with great low-carb veggies are excellent. My areas improvement are the price (but the value is there), the sodium and menu navigation. These can range up to $17 a meal. The sodium level seems a bit-much and if you are sensitive to sodium probably not a great option. The menu navigation can be confusing so I like the: pick your own/chef's choice vs the subscription options. I'm just not a big fan of subscriptions. All in all. If you like meat, taste, and portioned foods for an active lifestyle, a solid starter option to be blown away by gold standard. Also great to pack away in the freezer."

Great farm fresh vegetables!

"Diverse fresh vegetables, smells great, looks and tastes yummy. The food is delicious, balanced, very tasty, perfectly cooked, feels very healthy. This one of the better mailed meal preps I’ve tried in terms of all around qualities. The food packaging and branding is polished. Food has full ingredients and macros on the packaging. The food looks hearty, balanced and tasty. The packaging doesn't seem 100% biodegradable. The food should have arrived frozen but it was just cold, a little concerning but it was cold enough. Overall it was awesome. "

Customize your meal plan with clean food.

"First time trying EatFitz, the food was cooked to perfection and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I liked that I can customize exactly what proteins, sides and vegetables come in my meals. This is light on the butters, oils and other heavy additives like salts you may get from other prepared foods and meal preps. If you really want to eat clean, control your macros and gain weight or lose weight, this is a great option. The pricing is very competitive at about $10/plate. You really can't beat it especially with delivery to your door. I would highly recommend this service if you want to eat clean, eat healthy, have fitness goals, and if you are on a budget. If you have a picky palette and need complex recipes and family-friendly classic meals, then you should go with something else."

Excellent Meal Kit

"BlueApron is a major meal kit company and their ingredients and service are excellent. I love the meals when they are finished but the cooking, chopping and related is just too much for nowadays. If you enjoy cooking and reduce grocery shopping, this is a no hassle solid option."
