Simple Weekly Meal Prep with Freshly

March 25, 2018 Leave a Comment

Coming home from vacation is not easy – especially when it comes to getting back in the swing of things. Fortunately, my friends over at Freshly graciously sent over meals for FOUR dinners last week, so I didn’t need to worry about weekly meal prep…can you say awesome?! (PS – keep reading until the end for a discount code!). That meal plan I created went out the window last week and I don’t even mind! šŸ˜‰

Simple Meal Prep with Freshly Meal Delivery

If you’re not familiar with Freshly, here’s a little background! When you sign up, you get to choose from four different plans, ranging from 4-12 meals per week (makes weekly meal prep easy!) and then you select each meal that you’d like to receive. One of the things I really love is that there are options for so many different diet preferences – including Paleo (yay!) – and everything is made with all natural ingredients, no artificial preservatives and it’s prepared and sent to your doorstep completely fresh and never frozen.

Freshly Sausage & Peppers - Simple Meal PrepI ended up choosing four Paleo options, which meant I could keep my usual eating habits on track for the week. Truthfully, that’s why we don’t go out to restaurants very often, since I like to know exactly what I’m eating and I try to avoid dairy, excessive sodium and grains as much as possible. With Freshly, I didn’t have to worry about that, since the ingredients and nutrition facts were printed right on the package. And, I’d be remiss to not mention how delicious the meals were! I tried the following:

  • Carved Turkey – Loved the flavor combinations…mashed sweet potatoes were topped with turkey and cooked apples, and the roasted brusselsĀ sprouts were amazing.
  • Sausage & Peppers – We eat a lot of roasted chicken sausage, but I’d never thought of combining sausage and sauteed peppers over cauliflower rice before – so good!
  • Peach Balsamic Pork Chops – This had an amazing flavor – the pork chop was covered in an almond meal breading and the peach and balsamic flavor combo was outstanding.
  • Chicken Marsala – We love a good chicken marsala dish, so I was excited for this one! The spaghetti squash ‘pasta’ made this a Paleo-friendly dinner.

Freshly Meal Delivery Review - Simple Meal PrepAll of these were meals we’d normally prepare at home, but with Freshly, it was basically like having a personal chef cook dinner for us. Honestly, my husband and I both love cooking, so we’d never give it up completely – but for weeks when life gets crazy or even just for lunches during the week, Freshly is a fantastic option to add into our weekly meal prep repertoire!

Luckily, the kind folks at Freshly are offering my followers $20 off your first 6-meal plan using codeĀ dlvr639 – so it’s a great time to give it a try!Ā

In full disclosure, Freshly did send me complimentary meals in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.Ā

Last week to this week āž”ļø We’re SO grateful Last week to this week āž”ļø We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🄰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ā¤ļø

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🄳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel šŸ˜… I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼ After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do šŸ˜’ After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed šŸ˜†, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry āœŒšŸ¼ I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things šŸ’ŖšŸ¼ Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪
