Need suggestion on Prepared Meals Application Experiences.

Post by AyeshaBSmith »

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and work remotely. Recently I've diverted focus on my health, but the thing is I can't cook and don't have enough time to cook.

So was wondering if someone could suggest either a website or an app where I can order pre-prepared meals / healthy ready meals?

I've tried Gousto and HelloFresh, but I don't want to put my meals together, I would rather just heat a prepared meal.

I would appreciate any recommendations for companies 😊

Hi

I am not sure how your request fits in with our usual topics but I would look at https://cookfood.net
I know they have shops all over and have no idea if they will fit within your budget but they may do what you want.
Personally I would also recommend starting to learning to make one or two very simple & quick one pan meals. You will save money as well as being less dependent on ready meal manufacturers and you will get more control over what you eat.
e.g.
An omelette can be on the table in less than 5 minutes and tastes good even if it breaks while cooking.
Microwave rice, frozen chopped onion, frozen peas, an egg and soy sauce becomes egg fried rice in about the same time.

Frozen mash .
Most supermarkets do it cheap filling no waste
Add hot dogs or Corned Beef, chicken in white sauce loads of options with only microwaving to do.

sorry. I dissent🙂
It's healthy to take a proper break from your desk and take the time to cook something. It can be as simple as a bowl of porridge. There's so many super quick and simple meals you can make in a microwave in 10 minutes .
Think of it as a prepping life skill.

Hmmmm...are you here to tout a ready meal / food prep company by any chance? I think that's probably the case.

It’s a slow cooker you want.

Chuck cheap meat in it, add an onion, stock cube or slow cooker packet mix, water, stir, switch on.

You don’t even need to go back to it. 4-6h later, your meal is ready.

My wife works overseas and she is away for a month to six weeks, the slow cooker comes out on a Sunday and I batch cook for the week. It honestly is the easiest way to cook and you can experiment to keep the costs down.

Good luck
