Boring, tasteless and sad portions!). I have been disappointed with many of the services in Vancouver until I saw real meals through a simple web search. Sarah makes all the meals herself, with help from her family. She is passionate about what she does, and she believes in keeping her quality consistent. We have made three orders so far for busy work weeks. The Shepard's pie is my favourite. The soups are hearty and great portions. We are happy with the quality of food, the delivery service and the ease at which we can order online. Finally, a food delivery service that doesn't get boring after one week. My only reservation is that they still have a limited menu, but I'm sure Sarah is working on it. Support this wholesome company.

I got a voucher for Real Meals at my baby shower. I was REALLY excited when I got it, as a couple…read morehome made meals when you're sleep deprived is amazing. I had never used a meal service before, so was unsure what to expect. The Good - Owner was amazingly pleasant. Great service, great on the phone. Food was like grama makes and everything is organic (if you care about that sort of thing). The Bad - After going onto the website and seeing some soups I'd like, I was let down by the unavailability. I'm guessing since it's a small family gig, they can't keep stock supplies up too high, but it was a real bummer not being able to get the stuff I wanted. Hopefully once they expand a bit this won't happen. Delivery was alright. She was a bit late from the scheduled time, but it wasn't like I was going anywhere fast. This service also comes at a pretty hefty price. The soups I would skip - almost $30 for a 2L tub of soup. I understand its a small family thing and they use organic, but... coming from someone who enjoys cooking... I would just make my own for a fraction of the cost. I would do the lasagna again however. Almost same price ($25 or so) and much more filling. Good to note - if you have a man in the house, disregard the suggested portion sizes. Their "individual" lasagna is only enough for one, not two servings.

Fresh Prep is available in Toronto/GTA! So I was lured in by their 50% deal and paid $100 for $200…read moreworth of credits, which seems to be open to all first time customers. If you sign up at their booth at the Autoshow they also offer some swag on sign up. Since it was free delivery for the first delivery, we decided to spend all the credit at once... now maybe we ordered way too much but we ended up splitting the order with another household. I think the best value is if you stick to 1-2 recipes and order more portions of that as I see sometimes there are specials for additional portions. However, since I want to try a variety, we ordered a few different recipes. Pros: - Love the packaging and how all the things are precut, portioned and you just dump it in the pan and cook. However, I did notice I need to spend some time reading instructions but it wasn't too hard. I've tried recipes so far. - Easy to pause your account indefinitely or skip a week on your profile settings. - You can schedule for bag and container pick up so it's a bit more sustainable than the alternative meal prep delivery services. - It's cool to try some new recipes and ingredients I wouldn't usually buy. However, I don't think the recipe cards are easy to replicate yourself afterwards because the provide you the marinades, spices and sometimes things come pre-mixed. Recipe tried: - Spicy Apricot Chicken Rice Bowl Kit - it was okay, probably not something I'll return to. It also was a bit more sweet than spicy. It's just a regular stir fry with some sweeter sauce and doesn't feel as special. - Greek Chicken & Pumpkin Soup - my favourite, I love their pumpkin soup with garlic bread. I never would've bought or cooked with orzo. So I tried something new - Bean burrito - We enjoyed this dish, it was very hearty with lots of protein. Some sauces and ingredients I tried that I normally wouldn't buy on my own. We add in our pumpkin puree soup from one of their recipes into the bean burrito. - Surf and turf - The salad was really good has this lovely dressing. Though I feel like the salad comes with a small portion since it doesn't come with carbs so more salad for 2 servings would be better. Cons The website is a bit trickier to navigate and get used to at first. The way they break it down on the subtotal, it's hard to figure out the cost per portion per recipe without breaking out a calculator. The discounts are only applied to one tallied line. Sometimes there's a promo with an additional serving, but it doesn't tally under the one recipe so you can't tell how much on average each serving is for that specific recipe is after discounts. It does seem a bit pricier than just cooking but that's not exactly what I'm comparing to... the alternative if I'm lazy to cook, is we go out to eat, which is generally more expensive. After delivery, the optimal freshness is within 4 days so it makes me cook it so I don't waste it. Delivery is on Wednesdays and Sundays. For example you need to opt in by Wednesday and select your options for Sunday delivery. Usually I like to decide the day before but I suppose with logistics of packing the ingredients, I don't think they can allow for later decisions. Overall I'll consider going back again... but perhaps 1-2 recipes a week with more portions to get a better bang for the buck. It just doesn't make sense for us to cook with a little portion of rice they give us in some of the recipes. It's just easier to cook a larger serving size one time. But if you want variety and have time to cook different meals each day, this is not a bad option. PS if you need a referral, get $45 off first order: https://www.freshprep.ca/?r=0c5yfaz8_kblwru5e

Nearly two years ago, my neighbor went on vacation and forgot to pause her subscription to Fresh…read morePrep, so she emailed me, asking if I wanted to take her two meals that were being delivered that day, her gift to me. Who am I to refuse such a gift??!!! I knew nothing about meal delivery services so I had zero expectations. But, OMG was I impressed! My daughter and I cooked one of those meals together that first night and it was such a great experience for us. And the dinner was excellent. We kept saying, it was "restaurant quality". Super easy to do, with idiot-proof directions, and super fresh ingredients, all pre-measured and labelled. Quite frankly we were blown away. We cooked the second meal for dinner the following night, wondering if we just got lucky with the fabulous meal the night before. Nope, the second night's dinner was as excellent as the first, and as easy to make. We were hooked. I'm not one for indulgent spending. I am unemployed and am on a budget. But I calculated, for me, the money spent per meal at Fresh Prep is a good deal, as my dinners for 2 nights a week were arranged, I knew said meals would be healthy and well-balanced, as I'd be selecting them myself from a wide variety of options, I'd be saving a lot of time as I wouldn't have to go to a bunch of different stores to track down ingredients (some are not common. And let's be honest: who wants a lot of some esoteric spice or product that you'll never use again? I hate waste, so it appealed to me, to have just the exact right amount of ingredients needed for each recipe), and, bonus for me, this turned out to be SUCH a positive bonding experience for my adult daughter and me, choosing our weekly FP meals and cooking them together. We have been so impressed how this company minimizes waste, simply by reusing the majority of containers and ice packs. We've been so impressed with the selection of meals each week and the quality of ingredients and the straightforwardness of directions. And it's kinda become a joke, how every night we've had a FP meal, we look at each other and say "THIS one is my favorite!". lol. (I'm not kidding, they've all been excellent). Yes, the prices have increased once in the few years I've subscribed (minimally, but it does make a difference), and they've recently instituted a delivery fee ($4.99). So that stings a bit. But they have a reward program that offsets the costs a bit, and for my daughter and me, the advantages of subscribing offset the disadvantages. We stopped our subscription for a while and we really missed it. We REALLY missed it. So I re-subscribed and I haven't looked back. I have friends who've subscribed to other meal prep services and they all agree, FP is by far the best. I also must say something about their customer service: the few times I've called with an issue, they were ALL over it, immediately. That alone blew me away, too, how receptive they were and how quickly they resolved the few issues that arose. Oh, and their delivery people are the nicest, too. If only all companies operated like this one. I honestly can't think of a negative thing to say.

I had my very first meal prep subscription experience with Gomae Meal Prep and even though their…read moremenu is strictly plant-based, I was super satisfied (both my tummy and with the whole experience). I always hear about meal prep plans and even though I love cooking, I run out of ideas. So, I am glad I got to try local and healthy lunches that kept me away from the afternoon food coma feeling! I dug into their website just a bit more and found out that they pack and delivery food from local Vancouver eateries that serve plant-based foods. Conveniently and food safe stored in refrigerator bags with massive ice packs, I was able to receive my delivery at my office. I had 4 lunches for the week and my concern was freshness. However, when I ate the last packed meal, I was extremely surprised at how the vegetables stayed fresh, crunchy and without any visible discolouration/oxidation. Also, I noticed that the flavours of each meal were strong and obvious. I didn't miss my meat at all. From coconut sauce to Korean cauliflower "wings", I kept marveling at my food (trust me, even my co-workers who bought lunch kept saying it smelled good). I actually microwaved all the bowls and I think it tasted a lot better that way. I ordered The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe's Genki Bento Box and Chunky Smoked Tofu Salad, The Rolling Cashew's Taco Rice Bowl , The Juice Truck's 'Almost' Poke Bowl. I have to say, I was impressed by the presentation of my food. The Genki Bento box had a beautiful Kabocha Squash that looked like a pumpkin. It tasted healthy and it was packed with quinoa, kale, burdock root, and housemade vegan probiotic kimchi. I was satisfied with the flavours and spice. The Chunky Smoked Tofu Salad had a strong smokey flavour even though it sat in the fridge for 4 days. The stars of the dish were the quinoa, organic and the non-gmo smoked tofu, and kale. The chickpea miso gray was mind blowing too! My absolute favourite was the Taco Rice Bowl. My first impression was that it didn't look appetizing but boy was I wrong! There was Cauliflower 'wings', Korean style Beefless Ground and Mapo Tofu. I absolutely LOVED the mushroom walnut patê spread. Safe to say, I would order this bowl again!! Everyone needs to try. The 'Almost' Poke Bowl fooled me when I opened the lid because the sesame marinated vegan ahimi aka dried tomatoes smelled like heavenly sesame oil and looked like tuna. I think this bowl was perfect if you are worried you will feel hungry because it was packed in a larger bowl and I even had trouble finishing it due to the fiber. Overall, I highly recommend Gomae Meal Prep because it saved me time and I definitely saw an improvement in my afternoon energy level. I didn't have to eat a lot to feel full and that is important as I sit everyday at an office.

They deliver between west Vancouver and Langley and it is all plant based meals from local Vancouver restaurants. I have tried almost every single menu item and can say that I have never been disappointed. My favourite Gomae vendor is definitely Juice Truck's salalds they they offer every week - the Almost Poke Bowl and the Jackfruit Taco Bowl are truly amazing. But above that, the service is absolutely amazing. There was one time they accidentally delivered one wrong meal to me and as soon as I let them know; they responded within minutes and offered to come by and swap the meal out and offered me a free meal the following week. I feel like Gomae is a company that truly cares about their customers - I just can't say enough positive things about them! I am someone who has always said over the past few years that I would NEVER do a meal delivery service but Gomae has totally changed my perspective. I look forward to every Sunday morning when I wake up and can check the Gomae menu for the following week. Gomae offers a service that I have never seen before - plant based meals from local restaurants, and ZERO WASTE reusable containers. I love that there is no waste and each week you just swap out the containers from the previous week. I will definitely continue to use Gomae and as I said, I wake up each Sunday morning looking forward to seeing the menu for the following week!
