May 19 2018, 3:47 am

Adulting is hard, and can sometimes feel impossible. In those moments, the temptation to eat an entire tub of whipped cream for dinner can quickly become reality, even if you know you’ll regret it almost immediately.

But luckily you live in Vancouver, where a ton of amazing meal prep services are just a click away.

These fresh and local meal kit services ship all the ingredients and instructions needed to make a meal you can be proud of, and many of them take just 30 minutes to cook up. These meals will change your life (in a very specific, meal-focused way).

Fresh Prep

Most Canadian meal kit services ship to Vancouver, but only one has local headquarters. Fresh Prep is based in Vancouver and services most of BC. It uses only the freshest ingredients that are local and organic whenever possible. Their meal kits offer portion sizes to feed anywhere from 2 to 12 people, containing meat or veggie recipes designed by an in-house chef and approved by a nutritionist.

This means you’ll be getting the best of the best, especially since Fresh Prep’s meats contain no unnecessary antibiotics and hormones. And if you’re not as confident in your knife skills as you could be, Fresh Prep pre-chops most ingredients for you.

And let’s sweeten the deal with a deal: Fresh Prep is currently running a promotion for three free meals when you use the code VANCITY18 at checkout.
