After trying numerous meal kit delivery services in Vancouver, I think I found the best one, Fresh Prep. Though it’s my first time trying its service, I can already see why it’s one of Canada’s top-rated meal kits. As full-time workers, we always have a hard time deciding what to eat, and even finding time to buy groceries. And Fresh Prep makes it hassle-free. It delivers fresh ingredients and recipes straight to your door. It’s convenient and saves time. And with the inflated prices of fresh produce and groceries in Canada, you are still able to get meals from Fresh Prep for as low as $10.50 per serving.

In our Fresh Prep review, we will tell you 5 reasons why we recommend them.

What is Fresh Prep?

Fresh Prep is a Vancouver-based meal kit delivery company that focuses on using local and fresh ingredients. It offers 10 meal kits to choose from weekly, categorized by complexity level, time, and main ingredients being used. It also provides additional add-on meal kits at an extra cost. It delivers between Saturday to Wednesday, with time slots varying based on your location. Currently, it offers free delivery throughout Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, and the Okanagan.

Why do we love Fresh Prep?

1. Focus on local ingredients

Fresh Prep is keen to partner with local producers and distributors. It creates meal kits in BC, using premium-quality and locally-sourced ingredients, such as sustainably-sourced seafood (either Ocean Wise Recommended or MSC certified) and antibiotic-free poultry.

2. Ingredients are pre-cut and pre-portioned

This is one of my favorite things about Fresh Prep. Most ingredients are pre-cut and pre-portioned. They have already prepared them to whatever style is required for the recipe (diced, shredded, minced, etc.). It saves me a lot of time and dirty dishes when cooking a meal.

Though some ingredients are sent as a whole to maintain quality and freshness, Fresh Prep can still ensure to keep the recipe time under 30 minutes.

3. Option to skip or cancel anytime

Fresh Prep allows its customers to pause their subscription at any time, or even skip meals for multiple weeks. You can simply make changes in ‘Your Account’. I also like how they would send an email to remind you of the deadline to make any changes or skip the meal of the week. This is perfect for people who are forgetful (like me!) and accidentally order a kit without knowing.

4. Cost Effective

As mentioned before, you can get meals from Fresh Prep for as low as $10.50 per serving. And I think shopping at grocery stores can be more expensive, especially time is also a considered factor. It provides everything in the exact portion, so there won’t be any food waste problem.

5. Recipes are easy and delicious!

This is the most important factor when it comes to meal kits, and Fresh Prep does an excellent job of creating tasty and easy recipes that can be made within 30 minutes. It also comes with recipe cards with photos of the ingredients and final product. For my first week, I tried the Risotto Pomodoro and Creamy Mushroom Chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was perfect for 2 people, and we were full afterward.
