Freshly

Alright, so I gave Freshly a spin, and here’s the deal. It’s one of those meal delivery services that sends you fully cooked meals, and all you have to do is heat them up. If you’re not into cooking or just don’t have the time, this might be a lifesaver. What I liked was the convenience — it’s like having a personal chef without the awkward small talk. Just pop the meals in the microwave, and you’re good to go.

Now, let’s talk about the taste. Honestly, it’s a mixed bag. Some meals were surprisingly tasty, like the steak peppercorn. The flavors were rich, and it didn’t taste like it came out of a box. But then there were others that were kinda bland and left me wishing I’d just ordered a pizza. So, it’s a bit hit or miss, but when it hits, it’s pretty satisfying for something that took zero effort on my part.

The portion sizes are worth mentioning too. They’re decent if you’re not super hungry, but if you’ve got a big appetite, you might still be reaching for snacks afterward. It’s like they’re designed for people who are trying to eat light, which is great if that’s your goal. But for someone who enjoys a hearty meal, it might feel a bit lacking. You might end up supplementing with a side salad or something.

Price-wise, Freshly isn’t the cheapest option out there. You’re paying for the convenience, and it shows. If you compare it to cooking from scratch, it’s definitely pricier. But if you’re comparing it to eating out or grabbing takeout, it’s not too bad. It’s kind of in that middle ground where it’s cheaper than a restaurant but more expensive than cooking at home. So, budget-wise, it depends on what you’re used to spending on meals.

Overall, if you’re looking for a way to simplify meal times without resorting to fast food, Freshly could be a solid option. Just know that it’s not going to replace a home-cooked meal in terms of taste and value. If you’re okay with the occasional bland dish and can handle the cost, the convenience is definitely a highlight. But if you’re someone who loves cooking and has the time, you might not find it worth the trade-off. In the end, it’s all about what you value more: time or taste.
