Skip The DoorDash Fee – Why Meal Prep Delivery Is So Much Better Than Any Other Food Delivery Option Out There

Skip The DoorDash Fee – Why Meal Prep Delivery Is So Much Better Than Any Other Food Delivery Option Out There

Delivery services like DoorDash and UberEats have become hugely popular over the past couple of years, and honestly, who can blame us? We’re often way too short on time and energy at the end of a long day, and the last thing we want to do is work over a hot stove for an hour. Even driving to a restaurant can simply be way too much when you’re already pressed for time and hungry. So these delivery aps make it easier than ever before to get something delivered straight to your door.

But if you’re anything like us, you know that these options, while convenient, aren’t always health-oriented, nor are they always super-dependable or cost-effective. So if you love the idea of getting healthy food delivered straight to your door, we’ve got the perfect answer for you: try a meal prep delivery service that delivers to Banning and other areas in Riverside County like My Healthy Penguin! Here’s why meal prep delivery is a way better choice than any other delivery service out there. 

Ever-rotating menu

Ever been so overwhelmed with all the choices out there that you simply get stuck? Meal prep delivery services have the answer for that.

You’ll have your choice of a handful of tasty weekly favorites. The best part: each of the meals that you’re ordering are made with health in mind, so you’re guaranteed to be eating something fresh, delicious, and nutritious. In contrast, trying out a variety of restaurants through your meal delivery app can sometimes be great … other times, not so much. 

Goal-oriented choices

Convenience is one of the most important factors when it comes to what we choose to eat. After all, even with the best intentions in mind, it’s way too easy to choose something less-healthy for you (like fast food delivery) if you can do it from the comfort of your own couch after a long day of working hard. And while there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with splurging and eating something hearty and indulgent every once in a while, it doesn’t always make for the healthiest or most goal-oriented food options. 

Meal prep delivery combines the convenience of food delivery apps with the perks of a healthy, home-cooked meal, which makes it a win for your time and your body. 

Quick, dependable and delicious

With My Healthy Penguin, your food is scheduled to come to your door every Sunday, which fits right in with your weekly routine. Rather than waiting around for your delivery driver to drive to the restaurant of your choice and meander their way through town to your house, you can simply walk right to your fridge and heat up a healthy meal in a matter of minutes. 

Conclusion

Let’s face it: at the end of the long and hectic day, few things can sound less appealing than having to stand around cooking a healthy meal to eat. So it totally makes sense that restaurant delivery is such a popular option – but it’s not your only option for a hot and delicious meal delivered to your door! Rather than compromising your health with restaurant delivery or takeout, consider using a meal prep delivery service in Los Angeles and San Diego like My Healthy Penguin for fresh, better-for-you meals every day of the week.
