| - It's rare that I'm in Mckenzie Towne, but I just happened to be here once as I had an appointment all the way down south. I had some time to kill before my appointment and I was wondering the streets when I ran into Fit Kitchen. Fit Kitchen is another pre-made fresh meals concept that emphasizes on healthy, nutritional meals which gears towards both athletes and those just looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. It is especially marketed for those who have a super busy life and would like a healthy option instead of a fast food one.
Right away when you walk in, there is this large sign that explains the colour-coordination of the packages. Green meaning "leaner" meals, which is typically lower calorie and its geared toward whose who are specifically looking to loose weight. Red means "performance" which is typically higher calorie which is looks like it's for those who just want to "boost" their performance in activity and just eat a more well-balanced meal. I also love that they have two different sizes! Small and large which is nice for those who want a little extra or those who want to portion control! They also include all the nutritional info on all the labels for those who are keeping track of their macros or calories. All of there meals cost between the $10-$15 range depending on what size you get, so again, it's your typical price when you go out and buy lunch on the go.
When I looked around at the large fridge, I saw that they had a pretty decent selection still in stock. Their most popular meals were gone (I came at the end of the day) but when I asked how often to they re-stock, the staff said that they make fresh batches every day. I decided to pick out a breakfast and two lunch/dinners. They didn't have my first choices, as they were already gone, but I decided to pick out the next ones I thought I'd like. I picked out the champion's hash for breakfast, their guilt-free mac n cheese and power prawn curry bowl. I also picked up their pumpkin protein bars as a snack.
Results? I LOVED the breakfast. The scrambled eggs didn't taste rubbery and I thought they had a healthy amount of veggies mixed in. I loved that they use Spolumbo sausages as well as it adds that little bit of local flavour. The guilt-free mac n cheese however was a no-go for me. I thought it tasted a bit bland and the sun-dried tomatoes was really overpowering. The power prawn curry bowl was alright! Again, I liked they had a good size portion of veggies in the curry as sometimes those bowls can be all rice.
Overall, it was enough for me to want to go back to try out a different selection, hopefully the ones I wanted to try in the first place! Huge con? Unless you live in the deep south, IT'S SO FAR AWAY!!!
