Plus, they're local and use local farmers. So, that's a plus. 1 minor thing is just I wish I could select what meals I wanted in my subscription instead of chef's choice, because I personally just WISH I could order some meals more than once because of how delicious they were.

Last week, I decided to give Farm Fresh Meals a try as I'm always on the go, and I've been looking…read morefor a healthy meal alternative to going out to eat a lot. However I was very disappointed with these meals. First off, they have a form you fill out and it shows you all of the meals. Looking at the photos, I was excited to try the food. But before I even got to seeing my meals, the wrong meals were delivered to me. I had to call the support and they assured me that the driver would come back and swap them out, a bad start to my experience. Following that, when I finally got the food I was very disappointed. The food looks nothing like the photos, and not only that but it is extremely bland, but not only that, all of the lean protein I ordered was extremely dry, as once I reheated it it seemed like it was cooked too much. To give them the credit though, the pork wasn't dry, however that's not saying much given its easy to keep that from being dry. I've tried multiple competitors in regards to meal prep and this is the most expensive meal prep company I've ever tried, but it's considerably worse than the others in San Diego.

**July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more During my SDCC weekend, I walked by Michaela's Meals in the Gaslamp Quarter, which was right between my hotel and the convention center. This shop was just one street down from Ralphs and Vitality Tap so it was conveniently located. On Sunday afternoon, I noticed the space was open for business, so I popped in to check it out. It's a small spot with a staff member, a fridge full of pre-made meals, a little bar area with two stools, a cold water pitcher, and a microwave. The main business model is a weekly subscription, but I learned that the owner also keeps leftovers in the fridge for grab-and-go customers on Wednesdays and Sundays from 1:30-5 p.m. They also run a "buy 4 get 1 free" and "buy 8 get 2 free" promotion, which makes the meals an even better value. I assumed she makes an abundance and sells those for $10 a meal, but since I stopped by close to closing, I got mine for $5 each. I grabbed two to try because the meals looked very nutrition-focused and considering I ate basically garbage throughout Comic Con it was a smart choice to fuel up with real food. I tried a Mediterranean chicken over yellow rice and zucchini, as well as a ground hamburger-style sloppy joe-type meal. The food definitely leans healthy, and considering how inconvenient it is to eat well at SDCC, this was a great find. Since she has Wednesday and Sunday pickups, I'm now contemplating doing a preview-night (Wednesday) pickup for a couple of meals on my next visit. I'll be in touch with Michaela's for future San Diego trips.

Michaela's Meals has solved my problem of trying to eat healthy dinners during the week. i've been…read moregetting 5 meals delivered on sunday for a month now and have really liked every meal i've ordered so far. they heat up easy, are perfectly portioned (with the ability to size up on certain meals for extra protein), and made with fresh and healthy ingredients. they also stay perfectly fresh in the fridge for the entire week. i was really skeptical before getting my first order but the dishes really taste great...definitely better than anything i could make during the week with limited time. highly recommend it!

The difficult part is we spent hours / days trying to find the best BBQ for our event, and take a chance here and not only does Jim cancel a week out leaving us barely any time to find alternatives... but he tried to hide from it! It was clear afterwards he frankly wasn't going to tell us, he ignored my messages and I had to use other means to get a response from him. The messages speak for themselves... just no class, zero respect, and a flake. If you plan on catering for an event, use the SD top 3 BBQ spots or even look a little north. They are super responsive and at least you know they'll show up / respond. We ended up going with Grand Ole BBQ and it was incredible.

I had a question regarding the chicken and so I reached on the website and was provided a prompt response. I placed my order for pick up 2 days later. They do offer delivery if local as well. I ordered a half order of brisket (point); 2lbs of pork belly; and 2lbs of chicken. Total was about $150. We had a party of 4 adults and 3 picky kids. Upon pick up the order was quick and easy. It was actually ready before our scheduled pick up time! (Email was sent with estimated time.) The food was still hot when we started to dig in 30 mins later. The brisket came whole so we had to cut it. Pork belly came in large bite sized pieces. Chicken came chopped per my request. Everything was sooo delicious, juicy, and flavorful. I'm not too keen on smoke flavored or dry brisket but Jim's totally changed my mind! Blew all of us away. For a party of 4 adults, this would last us 3 meals. We couldn't stop raving about it afterwards!!! My personal fave is the pork belly. The sauce was sweet, tangy, and had a bite. I couldn't get enough! Brisket was fatty but I love fattier pieces of meat. The chicken looked dry but it was tender and full of flavor! I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely order again from Jim's! Very satisfied and highly recommended! B

Premium meal delivery service that I found with the help of yelp's recommendations around this time…read morelast year. The meals are generously portioned, healthy, and delicious! There is no way I would be able to craft this quality together in a meal. The options are plentiful, nor overwhelming. Catering to vegans, vegetarians, paleo and meatarian - that don't mind splurging on a little of all worlds. The ingredients are all listed, simple and so delicious! Simple process of refrigerating then enjoying them within 5-days - easily done by cooking in the microwave - wa-lah - 10 minutes - enjoy! You can select from a small or large portion. Smalls are perfect for achieving just what my appetite desires, while my husband has the large portion which can feed up to 2 people - I call these "hearty" portions! The value cannot be beat either - compared to the time it would take, cost of ingredients from health food markets is no match! Look forward to continuing their service in 2025 and beyond! Happy Holidays~

I also love that there are so many healthy options to choose from.

So far, I'm really enjoying the every-other-week option. It gives me the convenience of having meals ready to go without feeling like I'm overcommitting.

I have been ordering from My Healthy Penguin since 2016. They've been a lifesaver so many times as…read morelife gets busy and we don't have time to cook or go out to get food. Some of our favorites have been their chili with cornbread, bacon jam chicken, Korean beef with broccoli, and pumpkin spice protein pancakes. It's really amazing to see how much they've grown over the years from building out their headquarters, their refrigerated delivery vans, their delivery system that sends you text messages and you can track where your driver is and their ever evolving menu items. The concept is simple, check out their menu online , place your order by Wednesday for Sunday or Monday delivery; it'll depend on your location for which day they deliver to your area. For me, there's 2 of us so I usually order the 5 meal prep pack and then add on 1-2 breakfast items and/or a snack pack. I love bringing those to work for a mid-morning snack. You'll get an email the day before for an estimated delivery timeframe. We leave a cooler by our front door and our delivery guy will place it in there, take a photo and then send me a text message. Their delivery vans are a sleek black with a cute penguin chef as their logo. It's fun to spot them driving around. What I appreciate is that although the weekly rotation can get dull for some folks, MHP continues to bring new recipes and new menu items like the add-on breakfast items, premium menu items and now the snack packs.

Oh another great thing, they aren't a subscription so you don't have to order every single week, which is awesome when going on vacation or during the holidays! If you're looking for convenient and healthy, order from My Healthy Penguin because you will get that AND it will be delicious!!

Anthony went above and beyond -- even on a Sunday, he took time out of his day to personally meet up with me and make sure I got my meals. That kind of customer service is rare and it says everything about how much he cares about his customers. I ordered the Steak Chimichurri Fajita, Salmon with Kale Salad and Quinoa, Grilled Chicken Breast with Kale Salad and Sweet Potato, and the Ground Turkey Breast with Cauliflower and Sweet Potato -- and I've already eaten three of them. Every single one has been delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and nothing like the bland "diet food" I expected. I'm already planning to sign up for regular weekly deliveries and will absolutely be recommending The Lean Machine to friends and family. If you're on the fence, don't wait -- just try it. You won't be disappointed.

Over the past year, I've slowly worked my way down to 197 pounds and maintaining within 5 lbs. That has been a real breakthrough for me. Lean Machine has helped me make healthy eating part of my everyday lifestyle. This isn't a diet. It is a lifestyle. The food is fresh, never frozen, organic, and delivered twice a week. Each meal is labeled with the exact protein, calories, and sodium. There's no added salt, sugar, or flour in the standard recipe rotation. The meals are hand-packed with ice packs and stay fresh for five days, which is very convenient for me. What really stands out is the customer service. The platform is easy to use, and they provide the information and support I want. I am proud to support a local, independently owned company that takes pride in what it does. Thank you, Lean Machine Meal Prep.

If you need to make any modifications to your meal (i.e. exclude mashed potatoes for extra veggies), all you need to do is provide dietary needs in a field on the Google form, and if there are any questions, you can handle everything through text. There are checkboxes on the Google form for keto and paleo options. For the convenience of food prep and to support locally, I've been happy with Viva Foods.
