Pros and Cons
Overview
RealEats takes the fresh meal kit delivery approach and adds a twist with sous vide-style cooking: Its meal packs are made to be cooked in boiling water as opposed to the microwave or oven. While there are limitations to the service (RealEats tops out at 12 meals per week), it still provides an excellent supplemental option for families. Entrées include options like garlic lime shrimp or shredded chicken fajitas, while kids may enjoy their add-on sides of mac and cheese or fusilli marinara.
