Our Summary

Like the spinoff version of your favorite TV show, Fresh and Easy is an offshoot from the popular meal kit delivery service Home Chef. While both brands deliver delicious entree ingredients and instructions to your door, Fresh and Easy meal kits prioritize speed and ease of cooking for time-starved foodies.

Just like its parent brand, Fresh and Easy is best known for the quality of its ingredients. Every Fresh and Easy meal kit arrives packed with high-quality ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions for cooking (if any cooking is necessary).

In addition to the caliber of ingredients, Fresh and Easy is popular for its wide variety of customization options. Looking for vegetarian options? No problem, you can add a protein-based filter. Want to order a dessert or breakfast add-on? You can do that too.

And just like that, a Fresh and Easy box will be shipped to your home following the instructions listed in Step 2.

Unpacking the Box

Your box has arrived! Here’s how to go from hungry to happy in just a few minutes.

Start by opening the box and removing the top layer of insulation. The majority of the packaging materials are recyclable, so be sure to dispose of all materials appropriately.

Next, find the printed, step-by-step instructions for tonight’s meal. Set aside any instructions for additional meals in a safe place. Pro tip: if you don’t see any instructions for tonight’s meal, look at the meal itself! If your meal is heat-and-eat style, the microwave or oven instructions may be included right on the packaging.

Now it’s time to separate tonight’s meal from the rest of the pack. Every meal included in the box should arrive separately portioned and packaged: simply refrigerate the meal ingredients you aren’t using for tonight’s dinner.

All that’s left is to follow the instructions and enjoy your dinner.

Now for dessert...
