Freshly’s pre-made lunch makes working from home easier

March officially marks the one-year anniversary of working from home and by now, most of us have hit that quarantine wall. We’ve started new routines and adopted new habits to manage both work and life, but one thing still remains annoying, cooking. Luckily, Freshly is coming to the rescue.

There are so many added layers to get to the final product. The grocery shopping, the slicing and dicing, the actual cooking, the dishes, packing leftovers, etc. It’s exhausting and given that, we’re all guilty of skipping lunch or going overboard on takeout (ahem Chipotle).

A recent survey of 2000 Americans conducted by ready-made meal delivery service Freshly revealed:

• 43% of people attempted cooking healthier meals or meal prepping during the pandemic
• 14% of people ditched this habit in the first month of attempting it
• 42% of people found the cleaning of extra pots and pans to be even more work

Freshly is making our work from home life a little easier with easy-to-eat single-serve packages, slashing prep and cook time down to just 3 minutes!

Who is Freshly again?

With so many meal prepping services it’s hard to keep up but, Freshly is a weekly subscription service delivering ready-to-eat, fresh (not frozen), chef-cooked meals that can be heated and served in minutes – NO cooking required.

Unlike meal kits, all you need is a microwave, fork, and plate (optional) to get a satisfying lunch or dinner on the table (or desk).

They have a rotating menu of 35+ meals featuring better-for-you ingredients swaps with meals that are gluten-free and single-serve for portion control. SO. MANY. OPTIONS.

What’s on the menu?

Freshly offers 4 menu categories:

• Crafted Classics: Reimagined favorite classic comfort foods (like Mac and Cheese) with a health-conscious spin.
• Signature Collection: To name a few, the signature collection features meals like the Three-Bean Ancho Turkey Chili Bowl, Dijon Pork Chop, and Heaty Chipotle-Chicken Stew.
• Takeout Twists: These are your favorite go-to takeout options. Want Indian? Great, Freshly has Chicken Tikka Masala. Want Chinese? Awesome, Freshly has a Savory-Sweet Chicken Teriyaki Bowl.
• FreshlyFit: Newest to brand, the FreshlyFit meals are nutritionist-developed meals with clean, whole-food ingredients – perfect for any health-conscious foodie that still values great tasting dishes.

Will this save me time and money?

You’ll definitely have more time to binge watch Netflix if that was your number one concern.

How many meals you opt in to is up to you! You can select an option of four, six, nine or 12 meals per week. Your plan will vary in price depending on how many meals you want to receive, but the subscription starts at $11.49 per meal or $49.99 each week including $3.99 shipping.
