As part of its rotating weekly menu of more than 30 meals to choose from Home Chef will offer about 10 pre-made options. Before placing the order you will be asked to complete a questionnaire to customize your menu according to your tastes serving size and delivery preferences. By analyzing individual menu options each meal shows the estimated time it takes to warm up. Since Home Chef is one of the most customizable options with a variety of selections it's probably best for “families children or people with dietary restrictions” according to Ben Leonard.
That said it may not be the best for people who are hesitant or not as demanding with their options according to Leonardo. Fresh N Lean is the best meal delivery service for most. These oven-ready meal delivery plans which fall between a classic meal kit and food delivery are raw but pre-assembled to be baked toasted sautéed or put in the slow cooker without the need for significant preparation for a healthy freshly cooked meal. Think of simple dishes like roasted chicken breast with pre-cut vegetables and a savory sauce.
Home Chef even includes the cooking tray in many of its food kits so there's no need to clean it afterwards. After testing all the major prepared meal delivery service options Fresh N Lean escaped the competition and met more requirements than any other. The food is healthy carefully prepared tastes fantastic looks appetizing and is quite affordable depending on the plan you choose. Fresh N Lean has five meal plans to help keep people up to date with their specific nutritional goals including low-carb vegan paleo and protein options as well as options.
The food I tried was made exceptionally well made with simple wholegrain ingredients. Except for a dried chicken breast everything I ate was at least good and more than good and some foods even bordered on the quality of a restaurant. My favorite was a tender braised beef with vegetables and coconut and coriander sauce. Home Chef is a popular meal delivery company and recently launched a line of oven-ready meals such as Cajun chicken with rice and beans aimed at eliminating almost all the work out of dinner but it still offers home-cooked food technically speaking.

In addition this meal delivery service offers prepared grilled meals for the summer 15 minute starter salads for those who want lighter meals or meals in a slow cooker that also require minimal preparation and cleaning. This new Home Chef category is designed to offer little technical knowledge and is a good option if you want a home cooked meal delivery plan but aren't interested in enrolling in a culinary institute to prepare a delicious meal. You might have noticed Daily Harvest's beautiful milkshakes in an Instagram ad (or four) but the service offers much more than delicious smoothies packed with fruits and vegetables.
