Save Money with Denver Healthy Meal Prep Option
Eating healthy is a crucial aspect of your general well-being. However, most people don’t have the time to cook healthy meals every single day. Even if you do, that doesn’t mean that you want to spend the time each day working on it! Denver’s Healthy Meal prep is the perfect solution. It allows you to plan your meals ahead of time so you don’t have to worry about them. For example, if you know you are going to be busy on a day you usually have to run around town and are tempted to eat at a healthy fast-food joint, you can prepare your food ahead of time and take it with you. You can even take them to work with you!
Hey, friends! It’s Zeke here, with Super-Natural Eats. Today on the blog I wanted to share a cost comparison of various meal prep services in Denver, along with other avenues of getting food. Most people would agree that if they could eat healthy for a lower cost, that would be ideal. In fact, one common objection many people have to choosing healthier options—whether that’s at the grocery store or in a restaurant—is the cost. And when you’re considering other Denver meal prep options, the cost can still be an issue. At Super-Natural Eats, it’s our goal to make healthy, clean eating an affordable option.
The Super-Natural Eats Way
We deliver prepped and cooked meals once or twice a week, depending on the desired customer volume. Our costs per serving range from $7.50-$13.00, depending on the volume of meals and the portion sizes. Smaller portions cost less than larger ones (they come in 4,6, and 8-ounce portions). The 8-ounce portions are intended to be two servings so the cost per serving ends up being much lower and more meals you choose to have delivered per week, the lower the cost per meal.
On the other hand, Let’s take a look at the cost of other meal options in the Denver area.
Food from a clean-ish fast-casual restaurant like Chipotle
People order food from clean-ish fast-casual restaurants because it’s a quick, easy, and healthy alternative to most fast-food restaurants. Even though it won’t be as fresh as home cooking, many people like the convenience of eating out with friends or family members. Having a clean-ish fast-casual restaurant is good for some areas because it’s a good alternative to unhealthy fast food. Moreover, this is the approximate cost per meal ranges from $6.50-$7.50
Other considerations:
*Often when eating takeout, even if ingredients are healthy and fresh, the portions are still much larger than you would cook for yourself. If weight loss or management is a goal of yours, eating out becomes problematic.
*Grabbing food from a fast-casual restaurant can be convenient if you’re out. But if you’re at home, obviously you have to leave to go pick something up or use a delivery service which adds additional fees.
*Extras like chips, guacamole, and drinks drive up the cost per meal and total calorie count.
Food from a dine-in restaurant like Red Robin
People spend money on dining out for two reasons. One, they enjoy the experience, and two, they want to give themselves a treat. If you are a foodie and loves to try new food daily, then dining out is a perfect choice, but if you are a person on a tight budget then dining out can be a huge burden on your pocket. Well, if you can’t stop yourself from dining out and want to save money, then ask the waiter to put an extra amount of the food you like and share it with your friend. This saves money and yet you can enjoy the food!
Cost per meal ranges from $8-$15
Other considerations:
*Like with fast-casual, dining at a restaurant brings larger portions that aren’t ideal for people trying to lose or maintain weight.
*Dine in or take out still requires time in your day that you may or may not have.
*Healthy choices, although present, might be harder to pick on such a big menu.
Food from other meal prep services
Meal prep services are booming, with a simple google search bringing up all sorts of results. There are a lot of reasons why people order other meal prep services other than just being completely satisfied with the product. One reason is that they believe another service is closer to them. Another reason is that they like the variety of products other services offer. Some people enjoy the service’s customer service. The main reason why people order other meal prep services is due to it being more convenient.
Cost per meals ranges from $4-$34
Other considerations:
*There are a number of meal prep companies serving the Denver area. Each has a different goal. Some desire to send gourmet style meals to homes and some are more health-conscious than others. When comparing meal prep companies in Denver, consider your goals and their objectives and see if they align.
*Each company has different pre-ordering policies. Some might be more difficult to fit into a busy lifestyle (like having to order the day-of).
