I'll admit it - I have the potential to be the laziest person in the world. I love to procrastinate and I also love to snooze my morning alarms. (Yes, plural.)
So when it comes to meals, especially healthier ones, having something that's ready to go when I'm already late is key. Thus, meal prepping. Healthy and convenient, but also a pain in the ass to do on your day off. Yeah, I've meal prepped before... For me the excitement and motivation lasts for a couple weeks to a month, and then I'm back to where I was - being a slug.
So, thank you, Fit4you. (And thank you, Cin T. for your delicious review!)

MICROWAVE-SAFE

MY CHOICES FOR THE WEEK
+ Grilled southwestern chicken w/ black bean & corn salsa, and two small tortillas
+ Balsamic peppercorn sirloin w/ seasonal veggies - haricots verts (I chose starch-free.)
+ Italian turkey burger w/ whole wheat penne pesto pasta and seasonal veggies - broccoli
+ Lemon dill salmon w/ a whole grain brown rice blend and asparagus
There was also a garden salad option, but I was like, "Nah." ...Not trying to get too nuts with this being healthy shizz.
HOW TASTE?
I thought each dish was prepared well, with careful thought and use of quality ingredients. I feel like lots of work really went into each dish (and container). No generic flavors or generic taste. Didn't feel mass produced at all. Each of the protein options were juicy and not even the slightest bit dry. I thought that every component of each dish was seasoned just right.
VERDICT
Fit4you is convenient, fresh, and healthy; not to mention, delicious. Considering all those perks, it's pretty darn affordable. Plus, the weekly updated menu is great for those who can't eat the same darn thing every day (like me). Delivery on two different days of the week is great because this maximizes the freshness! And, to me, the pickup vs. delivery option is very much appreciated. I like having options.
Anyway, if you're super busy or just plain lazy, Fit4you is an easy (and convenient) way to eat healthy. Fit4You Hawaii definitely got my vote and I will be ordering again. read more
