# Fresh Prep — Full Overview ## What is Fresh Prep? Fresh Prep is one of Canada's largest meal-kit and ready-to-eat meal delivery services — a Certified B Corporation delivering fresh, pre-portioned ingredients, simple step-by-step recipes, ready-to-eat meals, and grocery Market items each week. Yes! Fresh Prep Foods Inc. is proudly Canadian. We are incorporated in Canada and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. Our Fresh Prep meal subscription service serves customers in British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and Ontario. We are committed to supporting local suppliers, sustainability, and providing high-quality meals to Canadian households. # How Fresh Prep Works Source: https://www.freshprep.ca/how-it-works 1. **Sign up** and choose your delivery region, servings per meal, and meals per week. 2. **Customize your weekly menu** — pick from ready-to-cook meal kits (fresh, pre-portioned ingredients with recipe cards, ready in under 30 minutes), ready-to-eat meals (heat in minutes), and Market items (groceries, snacks, drinks). Choices can be changed any week. 3. **We deliver once a week** in a single insulated, reusable cooler bag with ice packs to keep everything fresh. No one needs to be home to accept the delivery. 4. **Cook or heat, and enjoy** — ready-to-cook meals come with step-by-step recipe cards; ready-to-eat meals are ready in minutes. 5. **Return your packaging** — cooler bags, ice packs, Zero Waste Kits, and protein pouches are picked up on your next delivery (or via a scheduled pickup) and reused. 6. **Skip, pause, or cancel** your subscription at any time — there's no long-term commitment. ## Sustainability Fresh Prep's packaging is designed to be returned and reused rather than thrown away. Cooler bags, ice packs, and Zero Waste Kits are sanitized and put back into circulation after every delivery, reducing single-use packaging waste. ## What Makes Fresh Prep Different ### Fresh Prep vs. grocery stores In cost comparisons we’ve done, shopping at grocery stores can be significantly more expensive simply because we send you everything in the exact portion you need it in - no more paying for a bottle of garam masala when you only need a teaspoon or tossing out a bunch of cilantro after only using a few sprigs. And, equally importantly, you don’t contribute to the massive food waste problem in our society. On top of this we save you a whole lot of valuable time by taking care of the recipe research, sourcing the ingredients and a whole lot of prep (not to mention the cleanup prep takes after!) ### Fresh Prep vs. restaurants & takeout Nothing beats a the convenience of a quick and healthy meal. When you open up a Fresh Prep ready-to-cook meal, you’re looking at exactly what’s going on your plate—no mystery ingredients! You’ll also know that our team has put a lot of time and care into sourcing high-quality ingredients for you. Love the instant gratifciation of take out? We also offer ready-to-eat meals that are ready in minutes Our recipes are developed by both chefs to ensure you’re eating a tasty meal. You also don’t need to spend time deciding, choosing and scheduling takeout meals. By getting simple but exciting recipes and pre-portioned ingredients delivered to your door, you can easily whip up a delicious meal. No more sitting down to cold or soggy food. # Fresh Prep Plans & Pricing Source: https://www.freshprep.ca/signup/plans Fresh Prep delivers fresh, pre-portioned ingredients and simple step-by-step recipes to your door each week.
