Now, there are tons of options to choose from that boast creative, chef-inspired meals or healthful, gluten-free<\/a> options among dozens of other dishes. Whether you're looking for a meal delivery service for families<\/a> or something that takes health into close consideration, you can't beat the convenience of a ready-made meal service. Just pop it into the microwave or oven for fast, filling food that feels home-cooked.\r\n\r\nWhen we heard about Factor75,<\/a> we knew we had to try it. Fresh, non-frozen meals that put chef-created dinners on the table in less than 10 minutes? Count us in! After a week of testing for this Factor75 review, here's what we thought of these near-instant dishes. Hint: These nutrient-rich meals beat the drive-through any day.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Factor75\" short_description=\"Factor shops, preps, cooks and delivers fresh meals to your door\u2014just heat and eat!\" image=\"2067700\" image_credit=\"EMIKO FRANZEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Factor\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.dpbolvw.net\/click-9070496-17033664?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.factor75.com%2Fplans\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Factor\" \/]\r\n

What is Factor75?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\nFactor75<\/a> isn't your average meal delivery service a la Home Chef or HelloFresh<\/a>. Instead of shipping ingredients and a recipe card, each delivery consists of fresh meals made and conceptualized by real chefs. And, unlike a service like Tovala<\/a>, Factor75's heat-and-eat meals require no prep. Each meal arrives chilled (never frozen) and ready for your refrigerator. Just reheat the meal and enjoy\u2014that's it!\r\n\r\nFactor75 focuses on healthful dishes that suit a variety of dietary lifestyles, including keto and plant-based. This sets them apart from similar services and makes them ideal for those who want a healthy lifestyle but don't have the time to meal prep.\r\n

Our Factor75 Review<\/h2>\r\n\"Factor75\r\n\r\nProduct testing manager Annamarie Higley<\/a> enjoyed a week of meals for the purposes of this Factor75 review. Overall, she was impressed not just by the speed of each meal but also by the delicious flavors and quality ingredients. She tried five filling recipes: Loaded Bacon and Spinach Shredded Chicken, Indian-Style Butter Chicken, Stroganoff-Style Beef Burger, Nonna's Sunday Beef Bolognese and a Vegetarian Tamale Bowl.\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"I was off to a bit of a rocky start with this meal service due to some ordering snafus, but the accommodating customer service rep and quality of the meals themselves made up for it\u2014and then some. If you're looking for health-focused, filling meals, Factor75 has the 'it factor.'\" name=\"annamarie higley\" title=\"Product Testing Manager\" \/]\r\n

While we experienced a few issues right off the bat, they were nothing a quick call to customer service couldn't solve. Annamarie was not able to adjust her initial delivery date as soon as she signed up, forcing her to receive the box a few weeks later than expected. It seemed like that first order was locked in, even if she fully deactivated her account.<\/p>\r\n

However, when she called customer service, the rep was super easy to reach and accommodating. She was able to quickly shift the delivery back two weeks, and the updates were reflected instantaneously in the account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Menu<\/h3>\r\n\"Factor75\r\n\r\nWhile the menu boasts over 35 rotating meals each week, Annamarie notes that there is definitely a \"formula\" for the meals. This means they're not as exciting as, say, CookUnity's<\/a> offerings. The meals remind her of an average \"healthy\" meal, containing a cut of meat, vegetables and grains. While unsurprising when considering Factor75's focus on healthful food, the lack of menu creativity is worth noting.\r\n\r\nHowever, when it comes to add-ons, prepare for tons of choices. These include:\r\n
