back to menu ↑Is Fresh N Lean Safe?
Yes and no. Yes in the fact that this meal service is not going to cause health harm in any way, and no in the fact that you are taking a gamble with your hard earned dollar. I will touch on that more later in the pros and cons section. The meals are pre-made and they are sent in a box to your door, and there is risk of food spoilage, but not likely. Other than that, this company is safe and it is effective for those who like pre-made meals sent right to them.
Pros and Cons of Fresh N Lean
I see many pros and cons collectively when looking at this company. Let’s start off with the pros, as Fresh n Lean does offer a healthy meal service for people who do not have time to cook for themselves, but more on that below.
PROS:
- Convenient meals that require no cooking, just pop them in the microwave.
- They offer meals for a variety of diets including gluten free, paleo, vegan, and seniors.
- There are a variety of meals that appeal to many people’s palate.
- Orders can be stopped, and the customer service has been said to be really good all around.
CONS:
- The meals are expensive.
- The meals have been said to be very bland, and some customers simply threw the meals away and ordered food elsewhere. [2]
- You cannot choose the meals you receive, which will not work out well for the picky eater.
Conclusion
After looking into the ins and outs that Fresh n Lean has to offer, it is apparent that this meal delivery service is not for everyone. Sure, it markets itself as desirable to a large variety of people but it isn’t the case at the end. The meals are already made, which for some people actually is a problem. For me personally, if there is a pasta dish that comes pre-made I already know the pasta will be mush. Pasta is good only when cooked fresh. This is simply one example, and those who have ordered this meal service have testified that some of the food is not tasty nor fresh. The customer service however is outstanding, so this is a really good positive! Lastly, the meals are not customizable so if you do not like what is sent you will simply be eating the cost. Take it or leave it, but this meal service plan is not for everyone.
