Hello! Today I’m sharing my review of the Freshly Meal Delivery Service plus a discount code.
But first, let’s talk running and eating…
This morning I got in a nice 12 mile run with my head movies. I wanted to get in some good mileage since I’m headed somewhere super super super cold and won’t be able to run outside. (Like, I literally don’t own the proper gear to safely run AND um, hello I don’t like the cold.)
Then, I fueled up with lots of eggs and bread with AB.
Now I’m headed to Minneapolis!! I’m excited because it’s somewhere new 
I’m scared because it’s somewhere very cold!!
I sipped iced coffee while I packed. Vegas was MIA. Usually he liked to put as much cat hair as possible on all my stuff so I don’t mess around with other cats while I’m traveling.
This is what my lil walk to the airport looked like:
Freshly Meal Delivery Service
Freshly is a meal delivery service where you can order a complete week’s worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner. YOU pick what meals you want and there’s a big variety to choose from for each meal. They are cooked to order.
Then, twice a week the meals are delivered to your front door. They don’t require any work – just heat and eat!
Breakfasts:
I loved the spinach and mushroom scramble. I paired all the breakfasts with some kind of carb since I workout or run in the morning and like to have a really BIG first meal of the day.
I love how perfect this omelet is and wish I could take credit for cooking it up!
This one was paired with toast, banana and almond butter.
Meal Delivery Lunches:
I really liked everything I ate from Freshly. The tuna was the dish I was most excited about since I love tuna, but don’t have it that often. And sadly it was probably my least favorite out of all the meals.
Freshly is very healthy and fancy (and I’m kinda not) so even though it was good, they use vegan mayo and it wasn’t the OG tuna I’m used to eating.
Dinner options from Freshly Meal Delivery:
The Freshly dinners were my favorite for a few reasons:
1. They tasted great.
2. I didn’t have to cook.
3. Not cooking meant I also didn’t snack like a crazy person while cooking <- this is a really bad habit and I probably get an extra 600 calories a day from it! Trust me kids, if it was easy to stop I would have a long time ago. I’ve tried gum, tea, standing on my head, shock therapy… nothing works except staying out of the kitchen.
I tried two meals that had zucchini noodles! I really really liked that and am considering getting a spiralizer to make them myself.
This chicken parmesan with zucchini noodles was one of my favorites! This is actually a dinner but I ate it for lunch. Don’t tell the food police.
This curry with quinoa was a good one too. The veggies tasted really fresh – not sorry which is hard to find with pre-packaged meals.
Overall thoughts on Freshly Meal Delivery:
Weight loss: I didn’t weigh myself before or after so I can’t personally speak to this. But, Freshly does say customers can lose 5-10 pounds in their first week.
Cost: It is pricey, but you are paying for both the convenience of someone cooking food and delivering it to you.
An entire week of breakfast, lunch and dinner – 21 meals is $229. That is about 10.90 per meal, which is kind of pricey compared to food you’re making at home, but reasonable if you compare it to a take-out restaurant that is going to give you fresh, healthy food delivered to you (and you don’t have to tip the delivery guy).
There are also plans for 6, 9 or 12 meals a week so if you just wanted a bunch of lunches or dinners you could mix and match.
Get 50% that or any plan with code: runeatrepeat
Convenience: Super easy and convenient. It was great to have breakfast, lunch and dinner delivered two times in one week. This way I had plenty of room in my fridge and didn’t have to worry about 21 meals fitting in there.
Taste: Everything was great. I even ordered two meals with beef just to make sure I had variety (I’m not a red meat person) and those were pretty tasty too.
Use code: runeatrepeat for 50% Off your first week of Freshly meal delivery service (either plan).
Now I’m off to Minneapolis! See you there
Wish me luck and warmth!

Signed up for a trial offer. Tried the mac and cheese. Absolutely disgusting. Raw Onion. Gross. There is no RAW onion or bell pepper in a mac and cheese unless you are mentally disturbed.
Less than 24 hours later, I received an email stating that my next weeks “order” was on the way. I never placed an order. I contact them to tell them I didn’t place an order and anything they had coming to me needed to be cancelled as I didn’t place an order. They told me too bad and proceeded to charge my credit card.
This service amounts to thieves with your credit card. I’m off to contact my credit card company.
How can they send me an order when I didn’t order anything?
DO NOT sign up for any no obligation trial offer unless you like spending your time writing emails and making phone calls to keep this company from taking your money/charging your credit card without permission.

I must admit that I was a person who had a limited weekly “menu.” I don’t have the desire or time to create a meal at the end of the day…really anytime of the day. So my options were fast food,or a frozen tv dinner and neither of which are appealing! My friend recommended a meal delivery service called: Home Bistro. Boy…am I glad I tried it. You can choose the meals you want and they are fresh & delicious! Between these being chef created and the fresh ingredients, I feel that I’m now making some nutricious choices.
I cook a lot, and I HAVE to meal plan, or we eat out… A LOT! It’s horrible at how we are. Meal planning has saved us so many times. Like today… I’m supposed to make french bread for a recipe, but I really don’t want to make french bread. wah wah!
$10.90 is a lot for eggs. 😉
I cook ALL the food for our busy family of four. And when I say “all”, I mean every single morsel of food is cooked be moi!
Favorite is anything in the crock pot.
Least favorite is stir fry. It’s always mushy and makes a mess of the stove.
Ive actually been doing Blue Apron for a couple weeks now and I am really loving it. The prices are on point and I really like having everything there and laid out for me to make.
Hope you have a good trip! Im headed to Santa Monica tomorrow so it looks like we will be swapping weather. Stay warm!
I keep seeing the Blue Apron commercials and want to do it again!
Ah! We’re switching places 🙂 Have fun!
it would be so nice to have 3 meals a day just appear…
Awww they don’t deliver to my zip code 🙁
My favorite meal to cook is dessert… 🙂
AH stay warm on your trip!! My bf and I are pretty good about sharing food cooking duties. I mostly like baking, though– so much more delicious! 😉
I would definitely consider Freshly if I was single. I think my husband would be all “wtf am I supposed to eat?!” but the next time he goes to china, I am DEFINITELY going to try this out.
I have to meal prep because I am so super busy, so this company sounds great. I do enjoy cooking. I don’t think I could part with that amount of money for a week’s worth of food for only me, (although I do have to say grocery shopping has become so expensive lately), but I really would pay someone to $229 a week to have more hours in a day…just sayin’! The food and idea of the company looks great! The chicken parm with zoodles looked like it’d be my favorite! Safe travels! Bundle up!
I enjoy cooking for myself because I can make my food exactly the way I want to. However, there are times when it’s nice to sit down to a meal that someone else cooked for me!
My sister in law cooks for me A LOT! But I am good at making some things. I like cubed chicken cooked on the stove top with olive oil, spinach and cooking sherry. Pair it with a grain like cous cous and yum!
Yes it is cold in MPLS right now. I wear long underwear to work everyday!! We are making up for the mild January we had. Too bad you weren’t here a few weeks ago when it was 35. Practically shorts weather! actually, I think I saw a guy running in shorts!
Minneapolis! Where it’s cold and there’s no snow- boo! What brings you here??
General Mills!
