Freshly Meal #4

Ha! You thought I was done with Freshly meals back in June. Well, I thought so too, but I received another order at my door two days ago. After eating only three meals and tossing the remaining three, I started putting my account on hold. However, you have to select hold for each week, and you can only go out a few weeks. Anyway, I must have missed postponing this week so bam, more Freshly meals. I finally went back in the mobile app and found the cancellation page, and promptly terminated my account for good.

Some of the original meal choices must have changed since Freshly sent me three of one meal and two of another one. At least I have more variety in June; now I have to eat the same meal a few more times. Since they expire on 12/30/2020, I’d better start eating.

For lunch, I had the Sicilian-style Chicken Parm. Hmm, looks like it was renamed Protein-packed Chicken Parm. Sorry, all you Sicilians.

I also can’t same photos of the food either so I had to take a screenshot. First, the real life meal didn’t look that good coming out of the microwave. The cheese blob was mixed in with the sauce so the sauce was kind of pink and thick with Parmesan cheese. The color of the broccoli wasn’t that green either. The taste was just okay. For 570 mg of sodium, the meal was pretty bland. There was no flavor in the Marinara sauce, and the broccoli was really soft and overcooked. I did eat the enter chicken breast and about half of the vegetables. Here is the nutritional information from the meal packaging:
