I work a lot during the day, so lunch and dinner time should be a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, having to constantly plan and prepare my meals, or spend money ordering food was getting the best of me. It wasn't the cooking itself, but the decision making and time commitment that was stressing me out. Life is already so busy, I wanted freedom. This is where my search for the eternal question, “What to eat?" began.
I tried a bunch of meal kits, but quickly realized I was doing a ton of work (and spending a lot of time) making a few dinners. And I had no groceries or snacks to get me through the week. That’s when I discovered Hungryroot and started reading all the positive online reviews. They offer a discount on your first box, so I decided to try it out. What’s my verdict?
Well, let’s start with what you get. Instead of a few meals, you get tons of products and ingredients for not only creating quick (under 10 minutes) and healthy (low sodium, low fat, under 500 calories) meals, but also for stocking up your fridge and getting through the week. It covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert, customized to your preference and dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, pescatarian).
All the recipes are delicious, but to be honest, my favorite part is how easy the food is to prepare. You just combine the ingredients to make quick, healthy combinations (which is great when you’re hungry, and when you’re cleaning up after). Hungryroot is the first delivery service that has really worked for me. Meal planning is taken care of, the recipes are quick, and the food is tasty and delicious.
Nowadays, I don’t have to think about what to make and I always have something healthy and delicious ready in 5 to 15 minutes, with minimal effort. And with recipes for every meal of the day, it’s one less thing I have to worry about throughout the week!
