I started looking for fully prepped meal options to make it as easy as possible for me to start changing my eating habits to something healthier.
With so many popular online meal delivery services, I started there, but quickly discovered the there actually weren't that many places offering fully prepped meals without preservatives and large amount of sodium. Those that did exist got very expensive very quickly.
I switched to looking locally, thinking I'd only find things like private chefs that were even more expensive, and that's when I found Meal Proz.
For a few weeks I tried two meals a day, ordering online and picking up at their Round Rock and Burnet locations, as well as showing up at the Round Rock location and picking meals from the fridge. One order I chose the lower carb/double veggie option and although I didn't get the fancy printed nutritional facts stickers, each meal was hand customized replacing things like rice with those extra veggies exactly as said.
Everybody I've met, including the owner, has been super nice and helpful. The meals I've chosen so far have tasted good, use simple straightforward ingredients, and are surprisingly low in sodium.
This week, I signed up for one of the seven day prepaid plans. My eating habits aren't suddenly magically perfect, but I'm on that quest, and I've definitely eaten healthier in these few weeks than I have in many,...

I've tried Freshly, Everyplate, Homefresh, a couple of others... It works for some but it doesn't cut it for me. What amazingly works well is Meal Proz!! They rotate the meal selection every Sunday/Thursday and it is FRESHHHH. They also have a machine that will scan you and print out your metrics for at no charge if you're on a meal plan. I wish I knew about their service earlier!
The staff has been great during my interactions with them. Nick (The owner) shows extreme care and passion for sharing his craft/knowledge/wisdom with others. He'll give you the secrets to healthy eating/fitness---it's our move whether we listen and apply it or not!
Shout out to Koley at the Burnet Location for keeping me honest----Last month, I got busy with work and she sent me a message before they closed for the day to remind me that my meals were ready to...
Read moreMy husband and I have loved meal proz so far. I'm shocked by how tasty all but one of the meals has been!!! I had a full salmon filet and broccoli once, and then the next night a salmon cake and green beans and I didn't even notice I had salmon two nights in a row! I could never cook so much great food ahead of time and I'm glad this place exists for us. We're busy people and try as we might try to cook nutritional meals, we just don't and get fried fast food instead, and we don't feel good afterwards! The only dish I haven't liked so far was chicken fried rice. I thought the chicken was overcooked and I think it should have been named grilled chicken over rice and carrots, because that's more like what it tasted like. I actually might have cooked it for 2:30 in the microwave rather than 2 minutes. I'm not sure. Turkey meatballs and spaghetti...
