Can a meal plan box really help you get healthy?
Who isn't looking for a simple, easy way to eat a little healthier, maybe lose a bit of weight and generally transform our health so we wake up each day singing?
The problem is, firstly, there is just So Much Information out there on how and what to eat - so we can easily feel overwhelmed.
Secondly, even once we've made a decision about what we're going to eat and how we're going to exercise to kick off our health revival you then still have to do all the prep work and iron out the practicalities like meal planning, snack prepping, matcha tea whisking and protein ball rolling.
Frankly, it can be exhausting and some days it's all we can do to manage tipping a jar of pesto on top of some wholegrain pasta.
This, then, explains the growing popularity for meal boxes but the question is, do they actually help?
We spent three days trialling one of the Detox Kitchen spring boxes to find out.
Detox Kitchen do a range of different box options so vegans, veggies, protein devotees and new mums alike are all catered for. The thing that sets them apart though is their attention to detail, execution and nose for flavour.
The boxes are gorgeously packaged and come, daily, filled with everything you need to eat and snack on that day. So your morning lemon and ginger shot is covered (along with a supplement or two for good measure), your balanced breakfast and nutrient-dense juice is included and there are perfectly sized snacks to enjoy until you get to lunch.
Each meal is nutritionally sound and considered but also just looks and tastes bloody delicious, not one of our nine meals delivered felt like a sacrifice.
The portion size was spot on and the variety of flavours, along with an abundance of colour, meant each delivery was like taking a small adventure - discovering new combinations and meal ideas you'd never normally think of.
After two days of Detox Kitchen only meals we felt a little lighter but more importantly we felt energised - that'll happen when you eat an abundance of vegetables!
While the food was impeccable, the delivery reliable and the whole package an Instagram-worthy treat really the power of a meal plan delivery is the vast amount of headspace it gives you back.
As Detox Kitchen delivered our food for the day they also delivered precious minutes back (usually spent doing food prep, shopping or decision making) and as they left they took with them huge amounts of stress and worry about whether we we're eating the right thing.
The final, thoughtful touch from the Detox Kitchen box are a selection of wellness goodies, for example a gorgeous scented candle, to help maximise and encourage all your new found headspace.
After three days we were fully convinced and will definitely be signing up for a longer delivery service the next time we want to up our health game or just need one less thing to worry about.
