Flavor of the Month: Healthy and Hearty Meal Kits

Are you having the same set of meals everyday? 

When the quarantine began, deciding what to eat was a little bit exciting because we thought of the never ending possibilities of flavors and meals we can try replicating at home. We started brewing our own Dalgona Coffee and baking our version of sourdough bread. But now when we think about what we want to eat (for dinner or any other meal) we get overwhelmed with the process and end up doing the same set of meals over and over again. Faced with this routine, many people have turned and are now turning to DIY meal kits or food delivery services. 

For those in the pursuit of convenience, these DIY kits can deliver, and they don’t compromise freshness or quality that other forms of fast food might. If you’re not sure whether you’d benefit from a meal kit, these pointers can help you decide. And, if you're looking for the healthiest options, we’ve included Malagos Homegrown Produce’s healthy meal kits that will help you maintain your diet at home.

You get to take a break from home-cooking

Beyond helping to address the challenge of what’s for dinner, these kits address many common home cooking pain points. They provide more variety and introduce you to new flavors and cuisines that might have more flair than the dinners you currently have on repeat. They also trim the time it takes to plan, shop, and prep meals, which are often bigger hurdles than cooking itself. If you’re intimidated by cooking or just new to it, a kit can ease you into it, with clear, step-by-step instructions, often with great visuals that help you understand what’s involved.

Homegrown Meal Kits are more nutritious than Fast Food

If your backup plan on busy nights is fast food, takeout, or delivery, a meal kit can be a healthier choice. For starters, a meal kit’s entree will likely be more in line with your needs. Sodium is another concern in prepared and restaurant meals. You’re more likely to dodge the high sodium levels — along with over-the-top sugar and saturated fat levels—when you cook at home, and that can include meal kit cooking, provided you’re looking at the ingredients and nutrition facts.

Time to Try Something New

Do you ever think about trying out a nutritious diet but you’re not sure where to begin? That’s where a meal kit can come in handy. You can find a meal kit suitable for many different eating plans, which makes it easier to change your eating habits — or at least give a new eating plan a test run.

The benefits of meal kit services are endless, but the main perk is convenience and practicality. You’re able to try new recipes or gourmet meals without spending extra money eating at restaurants. You’ll also save time by skipping grocery shopping trips and home food prep. You can order meals online and have them delivered right to your doorstep, which is beneficial for people with difficulty moving around or who can’t drive especially during this time where travel is still quite restricted. Some meal kit services even provide homegrown and farm-to-table options like Malagos Homegrown Produce’s healthy easy-to-eat meals.
