These meals have been helping me to save time and achieve my muscle building goals. I cook for one, and it's difficult to make a single portion that isn't too large, and it also takes a lot of time. I buy these 10 at a time, and freeze them until the day before I'm ready.
These don't save me money, but they are worth it. I've done the math, and making my dinners at home is generally $5-8 per (larger) serving. At $9-12 per serving (large or xlarge), these are definitely more, but they are pre portioned and convenient, and fit my macro goals. They are also always fresh.
Some of the meals are a little plain and unseasoned, especially the plain chicken-rice-broccoli type meals. The chicken also dries out in the microwave. I'd recommend dribbling a tiny bit of water on the chicken before heating.
Some of the other meals are quite good though. My favorite is the carne asada burrito bowl, which is a good size portion with seasoning and a limey dressing. The Mexican burrito bowl is alright, but pretty unseasoned. The carne asada burrito bowl, hot honey crispy chicken, beef satay, turkey chili, and hoisen chicken meatballs are my favorites. Some might be a little plain or small, but I also understand that's how it goes when eating healthy to an extent. Overall I am very pleased and will continue to order! I love that the meals are fresh and local, and the company seems passionate. As I learn which meals I like, I'm sure it'll...
Read moreThe meal options are amazing. You can never get bored with the meals since the menu switches every two weeks. Two different portion sizes for each meal allows you to easily fit them into your macros. Instead of taking many hours to meal prep, I can pack my meals up quickly with the addition of a few snacks and have my meals set for the following day. Five minutes each day to pack up your meals compared to spending a whole afternoon meal prepping is a life saver. Every meal is fresh and tastes amazing. I have frozen some meals as well when I need to travel and it has never affected the taste of the meal. Thank you Balanced Body for making healthy meals so I do not have to stress about meal prepping every week. I really hope you continue to expand your business into the surrounding cities...
Read moreBalanced Body Foods is by far the premier Meal Prep Company... clean ingredients, precise portioning, with super accurate macros. I have been ordering all of my meals every week for over a year now, even when I travel. The food is always fresh & tastes great.

It is the best fit for my lifestyle, practicing Pediatric Medicine full time, teaching Group Fitness, leading a Professional Organization, as it is how I would meal prep for myself if time allowed for it. I truly cannot say enough, it was one of the best decisions that...
