Eating healthy can be hard work. If you’re short on time, don’t have the right ingredients on hand, or are simply just tired after a long day at work it can be hard to find the motivation to cook. Luckily, a growing number of brands offer bespoke meal prep boxes full of healthy, pre-made meals delivered directly to your door at a time which suits you.
One of our favourites is MunchFit. Their premium, protein-rich dishes are super tasty, incredibly filling and sure to satisfy, whatever you’re craving. Their ready-to-eat meals are SO much better for you than takeout and taste as good (if not better!) than pizza and even work out cheaper too!
MunchFit
MunchFit believes that fitness is 30% training, and 70% diet and strives to make that 70% as tasty as possible for consumers. Their London-based team of 30 produces hundreds of thousands of bespoke meals for their customers and clients, who include select retailers and boutique gyms, each year.
They have 4 core ranges which cater to a range of training goals, macros and preferences. These include:
1. Strong – make gains or fuel up for intense training with higher-protein/higher-calorie meals.
2. Balanced – support an active lifestyle and recovery with a mixture of pre and post-workout meals from the entire MunchFit range.
3. Lean – lose fat whilst staying energised with high protein, low-carb meals.
4. Green – fuel your body and maximise your results sustainably with this plant-based plan.
All of MunchFit’s food is produced using 100% fresh, whole-food ingredients which are full of antioxidants and contain no nasty chemicals or additives. Their meals also contain highly bioavailable protein (which is easy to digest and use for muscle repair), a lower-than-average carb content (always using complex carbs which take longer to be metabolised and are therefore more filling) and are a source of high-quality, essential fats and oils.
My week with MunchFit
MunchFit’s four-step process for ordering is simple and incredibly straightforward, taking just minutes from the initial sign-up to ordering your food:
1. Choose your plan: strong, balanced, lean or green.
2. Select your meals – choose from 2 or 3 meals a day, 3-6 days per week
A couple of days before delivery, your meals are confirmed and prepared by MunchFit’s Michelin-star chefs
Finally, the freshly prepared meals are delivered directly to your door ready to enjoy.
Their ‘top-rated’ customer service team was also great and very proactive – emailing me about my meal preferences within minutes of placing my order. They were also happy to help with my requested exclusions (beef and lamb since I don’t eat red meat) informing me that 6 meals suiting my dietary requirements had been added to my order but I was free to switch them up if wished. I went in to have a look at the meals they had picked and made a couple of swaps based on personal preference but, to be honest, all the meals looked so tasty that it was quite difficult to select just 6!
The meals arrived on time, carefully packaged in chilled, sustainable wrapping which I was delighted to see is 95% plastic-free. Having picked up a couple of MunchFit meals from Ocado in the past, I was fairly confident that the ones I’d ordered this time around would be just as tasty and I’m glad to say I was not disappointed!
The meals I selected included their Taiwanese Chicken with Egg-fried Cauliflower Rice, Spiced Turkey Patties and Miso-marinated Hake with Wasabi and Celeriac Pureé which were all delicious, healthy and packed with protein so kept me full for hours. MunchFit’s LEAN meals are the perfect size for a substantial lunch or light dinner, helping you avoid the dreaded carb crash, feeling stuffed or lethargic. They can be eaten hot – microwaved or warmed in the oven – or cold, so are also perfect for taking ‘on the go’.
