 According to “Cooked”, renowned health food advocate Michael Pollan’s new documentary series, we as a people need to start eating healthier yesterday. In his documentary, Pollan explores how cooking has evolved over time to underline the direct tie between what we eat and our health. Would you like to take the guesswork out of getting healthy? With Home Bistro's fresh meal plans, you don't need to worry about what to eat for dinner because it's readymade for you - all you need to do is spend a few minutes heating your food and you’re all set to go with a complete, balanced meal that’s both nutritious and delicious.

What exactly is a meal plan or package? It’s a set number of meals people purchase in advance. When it comes to meal plans offered by prepared food delivery companies like Home Bistro, you can choose different packages to purchase from based on the type of food (e.g. vegetarian, carnivorous, omnivorous) and the number of meals (e.g. 5, 10, 14). Depending on how busy your lifestyle is, you may choose to use a fresh meal plan once a month or only while entertaining guests. Meal plans are designed to make it easy to eat healthy foods even when you’re busy, so think about what you’ve got planned for the next week or two to help you decide which meal plan may be right for you. Whether you're vegetarian, pescatarian or carnivorous, we've got several meal plans that are sure to delight:
