Stop Cooking. Use This Healthy 3-Minute Shortcut Instead (It’s Way Cheaper Than Takeout)

Freshly Meal Delivery That Beats Takeout

Carving out time and energy to prepare a genuine, nutritious dinner — one that’s actually more appealing than a bland, dry chicken breast — can feel like a lost cause.

And your budget likely winces each time you opt for “healthy” delivery. You know the sort: $15 limp salads that somehow clock in at 600 calories.

We discovered a service that saves you precious time and rescues your finances from pricey takeout. It’s called Freshly, and it delivers scratch-made meals crafted by chefs and nutrition experts straight to your door for a fraction of typical takeout prices.

Streamline Your Weeknight Dinners for a Fraction of Takeout Costs

You might be picturing another meal kit. The kind that ships a box of ingredients plus step-by-step directions, leaving you to spend an hour prepping something that rarely resembles the glossy photo.

Those kits still eat up time, and they’re not exactly inexpensive.

Freshly takes a different approach. You receive wholesome, fully prepared entrées at your doorstep for as little as $7.99 per meal. No cooking — and no scrubbing pans — required. Just nuke the meal in the microwave for about three minutes. If you’re feeling extra, you can plate it like a pro.

Here’s the simple process: pick how many meals you want weekly from a lineup of around 30 choices, set your menu and select a delivery day. Freshly handles everything else.

Then heat and enjoy.

If you follow a specific eating plan, such as dairy-free, low-carb or protein-forward, there are many selections to choose from. All Freshly meals are gluten-free and contain no added sugar. Avoid soy? Try the chicken and spring pea risotto. Keeping calories in check? The golden oven-fried chicken with mashed potatoes will satisfy.

Even if you don’t adhere to a strict diet, Freshly’s menu swaps in healthier alternatives that help you feel like you’re treating your body right. The turkey mushroom meatballs with zoodles is so flavorful you’ll forget you skipped traditional pasta.

It’s like ordering restaurant takeout, except you’re paying as little as $7.99 for a chef-prepared plate that arrives ready to eat.

Plus, you can take $60 off your first month of meals when you use the promo code LAUNCH15. It’s surprising how much better evenings feel when there’s no prep and no cleanup.
