Do you ever struggle with picking out a meal for the night?
To tired to go to the store, shop and figure out what you are going to
make? How about you don't even know what
things to pull together for a meal.
Allow me to introduce you to plated.com and
blueapron.com
Plated and Blue Apron both look to bring local sustainable
meals to your table. How do they do
this? By letting you select meal options
and having the ingredients delivered right to your door. They eliminate the guesswork of planning a
meal and remove the hassle of going to the store to shop. Thanks to Facebook and my news feed that is
how I came across this service. Which as
a New Yorker I think takes regular grocery delivery and steps it up. Now I can pick preplanned meals have it
shipped (in a BIODEGRADABLE box) and eat healthy. WHAT WHAT!
Here is what Entrepreneur had to say about the start up
plated.com
New York City-based Plated.com is on a mission to help Americans eat better.
Each week, seven recipes are featured on the Plated menu, including four
healthy meat and fish options and three unique vegetarian dishes. You pick the
recipe you want to prepare and eat, and Plated will deliver all of the
pre-portioned meat, fish, spices, proteins, and produce -- plus a chef-designed
recipe card.
So, no more having to
buy too much meat or spices for your simple dinner for one or two.
"Plated.com uses tech and data-driven operations to remove waste from the
broken American food supply chain," the company says. Plated already
delivers to 90 percent of the lower 48 states and is "doubling the
business" every six weeks.
So if your looking to eat healthy but don't have the time or
energy to shop and think about meals, this might be the best way to go. I'm going to give it a try and I'll report
back on it. Between work and school I don't
have the time to shop or even the energy to think about meals. And yea, I'm tired of having to buy food for
one meal and then tossing it, so this may just be what I've been searching for.
The biggest draw back with plated is that it is a yearly membership where blue
apron appears to be on a weekly basis.
Check them out and let me know what you think!
