Ordering is easy and it's pretty economical. A good number of the dishes we've received have been quite good. However, a few have been pretty awful, frankly. What I don't appreciate is the company's lack of transparency. They ask you to rate meals, but they don't show these ratings to consumers. I understand they might not want to expose the less-than-stellar rated meals because it would interfere with their plans for ordering, and quantities and what not, but a business should be driven by the needs of the consumer, not the needs of the business, and it's painfully apparent why they don't display their meal ratings. I'm finding that I'm going to be skipping some weeks or cancelling altogether because the rotation of meals is pretty slow, and we're getting tired of having the same dishes every week.

My husband gifted me this when, as a new mom, I wasn't finding the time or energy to shop for or cook healthy new meals. I was drained on a diet of sandwiches and cereal as the only quick meals I could whip up in a hurry and eat with one hand. Freshly was the best thing to happen to me as a new parent since I could now have healthy, balanced, delicious and easy meals in under 4 minutes and delivered to my door! Flavors are great and so is the nutrition. I hope for a bigger variety of options in the future. Otherwise, I'm thrilled with things!

Freshly meals are far more expensive than the frozen grocery store meals. However, the nutrition profile of these meals is also far superior - where else can you buy an already prepared meal with 45g of protein and only 520 calories?!?!

Not all of the meals have been awesome, but there are enough really good ones that I like to keep several stocked in my freezer for those emergency times. I live in Portland but have vacation rentals 180 miles away. I drive to them often. Throwing a couple of these in a small cooler totally simplifies these trips and ensures I will have a healthy and tasty meal.

If you buy 8 at a time, the price goes down quite a bit. I order 8 at a time and only order once a month, so this keeps the price more affordable.

I'm not a fan of Frozen meals from the grocery, so I had high hopes for Freshly. I'm sorry to say that I bought the hype, and it was vacuous.

Before I ordered, I watched many YouTube reviews and I now wonder if they were mostly paid advertisements. The quality of Freshly meals certainly appears to be good. But I would say that out of the 18 meals that I received, 50% were sub-par.

I cancelled after the first order, and believed that the 2nd order would not come, but it still did. The average cost of all the meals was $8. If pitted against a food truck, for cost, it was a good deal.

Lastly, I believe that the quantity of packing materials is excessive. I'm sure that there is no easy way of overcoming this problem considering the nature of the product. But it was a major factor in my decision to cancel. The process of disposal is unreasonable. In fact I felt strongly enough that Freshly was not for me, before I had even tried the food, based on the packaging.

It was an okay experience, but like a dilapidated hole-in-the-wall restaurant with mediocre service and bland food, I will not be coming back.

I get four of these each week. They run about 500 calories each, more or less and they are quite good with high quality protein. Very tender chicken breasts! Would like to see more fish, like tilapia or catfish.

I work full-time and commute 2 hours each day. I also have two furry children, one a puppy with tons of energy. I never have time to prepare and cook a meal during the week. I was getting sick of eating fast food or preservative filled frozen dinners. I tried Blue Apron but it took me over an hour to do all the prep work for those meals. Who wants to do that after a 10 hour work day!? I decided to give Freshly a try so I could eat healthier, but without all the work. After two weeks, I am very happy with the service. My food arrives exactly when expected. It's packaged well. The food tastes good, cooks up in about 3 minutes, and it's a great way to incorporate all kinds of veggies that I love but take too long to prepare. So far my favorite meals have been the beef chili, the shrimp scampi and the buffalo chicken. The chili is seriously so good. I'm having a hard time not putting it in every order. My only concern is that if they don't incorporate more options often, I could get bored with the food. We'll see how it goes after a few months when I've tried everything a few times.

Two of my orders I had to share with friends because I foefot to skip weeks I was traveling. I received rave reviews from them. They loved the meals. So do I. The meals are madw with whole foods without all the additives and preservatives found in conventional frozen food. This is as good as my home cooking with less clean-up. Also, I am single, cooking for one is didficult. Shopping for one is didficult. I feel like I waste lessfood and save money while still eating high quality healthy food my lifestyle requires.
