Is Meal Prep in Canada Expensive?

While the overall idea of meal prep boxes sounds appealing, some Canadians may think that it would be too expensive to order meal prep delivery. While the average cost of a ready-to-eat meal delivered to your home is around $12, there are some as low as $3.60. What we will say, is that the cheaper meals we scoured are usually soups and may not be filling enough for some people. At the other end of the scale, some meals cost up to $20.99 but these usually contain premium ingredients like salmon or exotic ingredients that you wouldn’t normally find in the supermarket. 

The Benefits of Meal Prep Delivery in Canada

The only major difference between getting a ready-to-cook meal kit or ready-to-eat meals in Canada is that you won’t gain any new cooking skills since you don’t have to cook, just heat the meal up. Of course, this may be just what you’re after. 

Final Words About Meal Prep Delivery in Canada

Meal prep delivery services in Canada are on the rise. In big cities and beyond, people are very busy. Many prefer to save time any way they can. Meal prep companies give them this opportunity by delivering food that has already been cooked and only needs to be heated to consume, and Canadians appreciate it. The majority of companies don’t freeze their meals, making them as close to homemade meals as possible. Those that do, often use a special type of deep freezing that can preserve the nutrients better. 

Some meal prep companies choose a small niche and deliver specialized menus, such as vegetarian, organic, keto, kosher, or halal meals so make sure you look around.

While there are no nationwide meal prep companies at the moment, almost every big city in Canada has at least a few available to the residents. All you need to do is search for “meal prep near me,” and you are likely to find one. You will often have the option to buy meals as you need or subscribe to one of the meal prep plans to have a weekly delivery. In case you prefer to cook your own food and eat it fresh from the stove, check out our meal kit reviews. By doing so, you’ll usually find the cheapest meal kits available, too.
