Four Reasons Why Prepared Meals Make Eating Healthy Easier

What we put into our bodies matters. A healthy diet is essential when it comes to living not only a longer life but a better quality one. Food choices not only affect our physical health but can affect our mental health as well. This is not revolutionary new information — we know that what we eat is important. In theory, the thought of cooking and consuming healthy meals for both ourselves and our families is a great idea. But the real world limits our time and our energy and our ability to cook a healthy and nutritional breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. It is even more challenging when you and/or your family members have allergies and dietary restrictions.

A 2014 study showed that less than 60% of all dinners are eaten at home and that number is expected to soon reach less than 50%. In addition to not having the time to cook, most people simply do not enjoy cooking. A study in the Harvard Business Review showed that only 10% of people love to cook, and 45% of people downright hate it. A lack of time, money, effort led to the rise in “fast food” and the restaurants that provided it.

With the advancement of science and with the wealth of information online, it’s a wonder anyone could think fast food is still a good idea. Thus began the rise in “Meal Kits.” With fresh ingredients and oftentimes pre-made sauces and spice blends, there are now well more than 150 different subscription-based cook-it-yourself meal kit services — like Blue Apron, HelloFresh and EveryPlate — that make up a multi-billion dollar industry. The concept and increased demand has even evolved into grocery stores offering branded meal kits. Admittedly, the nutrition provided by meal kits is far superior to that of fast food, but they don’t address time restrictions and busy family schedules. 

For those who want the benefits of a healthy meal without the time commitments involved with meal planning, recipe pinning, ingredient shopping and cooking, it’s time to consider healthy prepared meals.
