Re: Factor prepared meals delivery service

Have never tried Factor, but have tried a few others.  The ones I like the best are Hungryroot and Marley Spoon.   Marley Spoon is a ton of prep work so if you're looking at cutting back on cooking, that's not the one for you. 

 

The dinners from Hungryroot were mostly fish/shellfish and veggies. Didn't always follow their instructions as several times it said to boil veggies.........I roasted them instead.

I subscribed to Factor about 3 weeks last summer.  First I found the website difficult to use and immediately noticed that the things I liked best were much more expensive than the standard plan.

 

Every item I received seemed to contain plain broccoli and I think, with very few exceptions, was heavily flavored with garlic.  This made them all taste about the same.  I was totally bored with the food after two weeks.   It took me another week to get it stopped.  I have no desire to go back to Factor.

 

If I were to try another food service, it would be the one that follows a Mediterranean diet.

 

The meals were definitely not large enough for two servings.


@Kachina624  Green Chef and Sunbasket are two offering Mediterranean diet.

 

Green Chef is only kits.

Sunbasket offers kits and prepared meals.

Re: Factor prepared meals delivery service

I'm just too picky.  I also only cook what I like.  If' I'm going to cook it, I want to enjoy it. I'm certainly not going to cook a meal just for DH to eat.   If he doesn't like what I cook, then he can order meals for himself.

Re: Factor prepared meals delivery service

I have ordered Factor in the past. I could get two meals out of one serving. I also have used Hungryroot. Good food and variety.

 

i switched tobTovala in Dec. they send a an small toaster over that also air fries. The meals are delicious and very tasty. 

i have found all 3 to be comparable in price
