I’ve lived on my own my entire adult life. I’ve never actually grocery shopped (referring to back when I was a child and was hauled off for family grocery shopping every two weeks.

Now, as an adult, I probably don’t have enough ingredients to make an actual proper meal, plus not only is it expensive, I don’t know how to cook at all – AND I want to eat healthy..ier. Thus I have decided to try Freshly. I signed up for 3 meals a week for 2 people (6 meals for myself) I optd for free item for life in which I chose a muffin. 

I strongly think this will help guide me in the right direction towards eating healthier, eating for fuel & energy without having to pre plan and buy ingredients that would have gone bad when you went to use it. 

 Let’s be honest, the weekly grocery shop can feel less like a mundane chore and more like a Herculean task. Battling crowded aisles, deciphering confusing labels, and lugging heavy bags home – sound familiar? What if I told you there’s a way to reclaim those precious hours and energy? Enter the glorious world of meal delivery services.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Isn’t that expensive?” or “I like picking out my own ingredients.” And while those are valid points, let’s delve into the surprisingly numerous benefits of having delicious, ready-to-eat meals delivered right to your doorstep. You might just find yourself trading in your grocery cart for a friendly knock on the door.

Time is Money (and Sanity!):

This is perhaps the most significant advantage. Think about it: the time spent planning meals, writing shopping lists, driving to the store, navigating the aisles, waiting in line, and then putting everything away. That’s a significant chunk of your week that has vanished! Meal delivery services eliminate all of that, freeing up your time for hobbies, family, or simply unwinding after a long day. What’s the price of an extra hour (or several!) back in your week?

Say Goodbye to Food Waste:

How many times have you bought a bunch of spinach with the best intentions, only to find it wilted and sad in the back of your fridge a week later? Meal delivery services often provide perfectly portioned meals, meaning you’re using exactly what you need and significantly reducing food waste. This is not only better for the planet but also saves you money in the long run by not throwing away uneaten ingredients.

Healthier Choices at Your Fingertips:

Many meal delivery services focus on providing nutritious and balanced meals. They often highlight calorie counts, macronutrient breakdowns, and ingredient lists, making it easier to make informed choices. Plus, you’re less likely to grab unhealthy convenience foods when a delicious and healthy meal is just a few clicks away. Some services even cater to specific dietary needs like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and keto.
