My Prepmymeal experience
Are you ready to find out all about the test? The next few lines are aimed at anyone who is still a little unsure whether Prepmymeal is right for them.
The selection
I'm sitting there now with my colleague Janina. We take a close look at the selection* and click through the website.
We have the choice of these Meal box sizes:
- 6 Meals
- 12 Meals
- 18 Meals
- 24 Meals
Because we don't have that much space in the office for freezing, we choose the Box of 12. Now you can click together the dishes according to your mood - choose from the list what you like and what appeals to you.
Not so easy with the 53 dishes we have to choose from today.
The offer ranges from Breakfast dishes like mango porridge with poppy seeds and omelette with mushroom cream sauce over vegan dishes such as pumpkin curry and beluga lentil rice pan through to the Bestsellers such as various chicken dishes with vegetables, rice, coconut, chili and lemongrass sauce. And of course, noodles are also a must - such as lentil pasta with lemongrass sauce or Asian noodles with prawns.
The selection is large and there is guaranteed to be something for every taste. Even for allergy sufferers! Many dishes are lactose and gluten free.
Best just take a look around the store directly* and get an idea of the dishes.
What the dishes all have in common: They should be ready to eat in just 7 to 9 minutes in the pan or microwave.
The order
So that we can get a good picture and develop a comprehensive Prepmymeal experience together, we have ordered cross-country, what made us smile.
So hopefully we will soon have 12 completely different dishes in front of us. We want to freeze half of them straight away and leave the other half in the fridge to defrost for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I place the order on Friday morning and on Tuesday or Wednesday the portions should delivered be
By the way, with every dish you can choose the Number of calories view. There is also information on protein, carbs and fat.
The dishes have between 250 and 780 calories.
The salmon I would like is suitable for muscle building, healthy and gluten-free diets. It has 626 calories and can be kept in the freezer for 6 months. If I don't freeze it, I have to eat it within 3 to 4 days.
Sounds delicious in any case. That shouldn't be a problem - I can do it easily 😄
The delivery
The office doorbell rings. Are you already so excited? Now the Prepmymeal experience report is really starting. Yummy. 😋
It's just 10 o'clock at the time of delivery. Perfect. So I don't have to worry about lunch today.
The dishes are delivered deep-frozen in a large box with insulating foil and 6 dry ice bags. The dishes remain chilled for 48 hours.
Tip: You can leave a drop-off authorization for the delivery service at check-out. Or you can do what we did: We had our meals delivered directly to the office.
The preparation
Mmmhh now it can start. The excitement builds. First, open the big box and unpack it.
The dishes are packed in a dark cardboard box. It is labeled with the Name of the dish and in which Category it falls - for example "Shape", "Vegan", "Breakfast" etc.
On the Back you will find exact Nutritional information and the Preparation recommendations - they are slightly different for each dish. You can prepare the Prepmymeal Foodboxes in the pan or microwave - we opt for the microwave because it's quicker.
How to prepare Prepmymeal:
- Unpack the dish
- Make holes in the foil
- the dish takes 7 to 9 minutes at 600 watts
- in the pan it takes 7 to 8 minutes - choose medium heat
- you can also use the oven - this takes about 20 minutes at 150°
Incidentally, Prepmymeal uses a cardboard tray for the packaging, which can be heated directly in the microwave.
The taste: Is Prepmymeal convincing in the test?
After 7 minutes, the microwave finally gave the relieving *Bing*. We were allowed to test several Prepmymeal dishes and rated them according to points. The following applies: 5 points is the maximum and 0 points means a dish has failed.
So how do the Prepmymeal food boxes taste and how do we rate them? Here is an overview and then a few words about the individual dishes.
PS: No, of course we couldn't eat it all straight away. But we have hungry men in the office who were happy to help us with this task after the tasting 😅
That's why I divided the rating into two columns. 1x girls (Janina and me) and once boys (Christofer and Ernst)
| Court of law | Prepmymeal rating: Girls | Prepmymeal rating: Boys |
|---|---|---|
| Coconut chili sauce with chicken breast | 5 from 5 | 4.5 out of 5 |
| Vegan biryani | 5 from 5 | 4.8 from 5 |
| Rice noodles with chicken, soy sauce, wok vegetables, cashew | 4.3 from 5 | 5 from 5 |
| Salmon, rice, green beans | 5 from 5 | 5 from 5 |
| Thai Pa Naeng with chicken breast | 4.8 from 5 | 4.5 out of 5 |
| Sweet potato chicken bowl | 4.4 out of 5 | 3.8 from 5 |
| Chicken Fajita Bowl | 4.8 from 5 | 4.8 from 5 |
| Beef strips with spicy tomato sauce | 3.8 from 5 | 4.8 from 5 |
| Planted green curry | 5 from 5 | 4.6 from 5 |
| Scrambled eggs with chives and broccoli | 3.6 from 5 | 4.4 out of 5 |
| Protein Porridge Berry | 4.8 from 5 | 4.2 from 5 |
| Chicken, rice, broccoli | 4.2 from 5 | 4.9 from 5 |
Why were points deducted from some dishes?
Some dishes were not seasoned enough for my taste. However, you can help with dried herbs. I deducted points for the beef strips because they were really very spicy.
The boys and Janina rated many of the dishes themselves because I don't eat meat. But I tried the sauces anyway. Janina says: "The meat is very tender and cut into small, convenient pieces. So you don't even have to cut it - practical."
Janina also subjected the sweet potato and chicken bowl to a (hungry) taste test and found: "The meat and broccoli are very good. However, a different sauce would have gone better with the sweet potatoes."
Other dishes scored fewer points because you could easily prepare them yourself - scrambled eggs, for example. But it has to be said that there's also broccoli and potatoes on top. Or porridge, which I don't think you need to order either.
The big "bag" of chicken fajita bowls came in handy for the boys. It contains two portions at once. This not only makes it cheaper per portion, but also means there's more on the plate.
The men's favorite:
They couldn't agree. Both the rice noodles with chicken and the salmon with green beans made it to number 1.
The girls' favorite:
We know immediately: it's the salmon. Even though we also gave Planted Curry, Biryani and Coconut Chili 5 stars - the fish is clearly at the top of our list.
Does one portion fill you up?
Food must be healthy, provide energy and, most importantly, fill you up and keep you full. Depending on the dish, one portion weighs 450 to 500 grams. That makes a well-filled plate.
It was more than enough for us girls. Christofer and Ernst could have done with a second helping.
TipPeople who are very hungry can eat a packet of microwave rice or salad to fill them up.
How much does Prepmymeal cost and how does the subscription work?
You can choose between a one-off and a flexible, regular delivery. When you add a dish to your shopping cart, you can choose decide, whether you are a Subscription or not.
If you opt for regular delivery, you have the choice of weekly, all 2, 3 or 4 weeks and the number of dishes per delivery (6, 12, 18 or 24 meals).
What I personally like is that you can not forced into a subscription will be. If you just want to try something without obligation, this is no problem. To do this, select the smallest box with 6 dishes.
You could also order several meals without a subscription (such as the large box of 24) and then freeze them. If you want to know exactly, you can read it in the FAQs*.
How can I unsubscribe from Prepmymeal?
There is no minimum term. You can cancel or pause your subscription at any time. All you have to do is log in to your user account.
My conclusion
My Prepmymeal experience has been consistently positive. I can well imagine ordering regularly and freezing dishes. Then when you're hungry, you can defrost whatever you feel like.
But I wouldn't eat the frozen meals every day. That costs money in the long run. But there's nothing wrong with eating 2 to 3 times a week because it really saves you a lot of time. It starts with thinking about what to eat in the first place, continues with shopping and ends with cooking.
The Ready meals from Prepmymeal* are very suitable for losing weight or as a healthy diet for athletes and anyone who wants to build muscle. You can see which target group the respective dish is aimed at directly on the website.
The taste of the dishes is perfectly fine. I spice them up with fresh herbs and eat a salad with them. The portion size is perfectly adequate.
