Freshly is a great option for those who want to forgo cooking entirely. Each Freshly meal is a single serving that comes fully prepared and delivered fresh (not frozen). All you have to do is heat it up, and in three minutes or less, dinner is served.
When ordering from Freshly, you’ll first choose how many meals you’d like for the week: 4, 6, 10, or 12. (Pro tip: The more meals you get, the better the price per meal.) Next, you’ll pick your meals from a list of around 30 options. You can choose from different categories:
- Crafted classics
- Feel-better food
- Signature collection
- Takeout twists
You’ll then choose from the available delivery dates in your area, and your meals will ship to your doorstep. Meals are prepared without artificial preservatives and will last four to five days in the refrigerator. If you’re unable to eat the meal within this time frame, you can freeze it for later use.
Freshly customers rave about their positive experiences with the company and tend to be very pleased with what they receive. You may find less variety in the meals than is available with other services, but if you’re feeding a crew of picky eaters, that could be a good thing.
If you’re looking for artisanal, vegetable-focused creations at every meal, Freshly might not be for you. Their comfort food meals are heartier, but they’re still healthy: made with minimal sugar, few processed ingredients, and free of artificial ingredients and preservatives. Best of all, no cooking means no cleaning!

What Customers Are Saying
“My family has really enjoyed Freshly meals. They are hearty and more homestyle-type meals than other services I’ve tried, which my kids like. It saves me a ton of time and effort getting dinner on the table on a busy weeknight.” — Mama P., verified buyer
“I liked that it was easy to manage, food was decent, and it had already-prepped options. I didn’t like the amount of material and packaging that was wasted, and it seemed a bit expensive.” — Yuri O., verified buyer
