Hi all,
I start ordering meal kits for about 3 months. I start it because it was so annoying that I have to think “what am I going to eat today?”. It was so stressful to me because I didn’t want to eat the same menu of meals every day. I wanted to have a different meal dish every day, but it must be a healthy option. I have tried a couple of meal kit companies like Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Sunbasket, and Everyplates. Meal kits from Blue Apron and Hello Fresh were pretty delicious, but they were not healthy. They wanted me to put too much oil and salt. Their meals were too salty and oily. The Everyplates’ meal dishes were too simple, so I decided not to order them after 1 trial. I was looking for healthier meal kits and Sunbasket was a great option. Their dishes had healthier, low sodium, and low fat options. However, Sunbasket is the most expensive from I have tried. Let’s keep it secret! haha. I will share their recipes and how to cook the dishes with you from now on (They allowed me to post it on my website, by the way). I hope you enjoy it:)
