Personal Chef to Go has saved the day for my family! With my husband and I both working very hectic full time jobs, and raising 2 young children, we got caught in a trap of eating out almost every evening, often grabbing fast food or spending hundreds of dollars a month in sit-down restaurants. Last year, we decided to make some changes and started eating healthier and joined a popular weight loss program. Within several weeks of when we started that program, my company contracted with Personal Chef to Go to offer prepared meals as a thank you gift to our associates who had been working long hours on some important initiatives. I received a few of the meals as a gift and I was absolutely hooked from the first meal. We've been ordering from Personal Chef to Go every few weeks since last fall, and eating these meals has played a huge part in our combined weight loss of 130 pounds (and still counting!). These meals are MUCH healthier than fast food, and usually come in between 5 and 10 Points for those following the Weight Watchers plan. In addition, despite the cost of the meals we are saving several hundred dollars a month in restaurant expenses and the time saved is invaluable.
Personal Chef to Go meals come fully prepared and ready to microwave in about 3-5 minutes, and they already have all of the nutritional values calculated and printed on the label including Weight Watchers points and all of the common nutritional stats (fat, carbs, fiber, protein, etc). We order off the Couples plan every 2-3 weeks, depending on the menu and what suits our taste, and eat the meals every few nights while I prepare dinners on less hectic evenings. We often pair the meals with a whole wheat roll, fresh cut fruit, and sometimes an extra vegetable depending on what the meal already includes, and the volume of food is more than sufficient to feed both adults and our 4 year old. Did I mention that the meals are DELICIOUS? The crabcakes are my absolute favorite menu item, and each meal includes 2 generous sized crabcakes; you also must try their Jambalaya and Korean Grilled Beef. The meals do not disappoint!
The meals are packaged in individual portions which allows you to mix and match, take an individual meal for lunch, or heat both of the same meal- complete flexibility to enjoy when you want! The instructions on the top are very clear and you can freeze the meals and they heat up perfectly (we freeze almost every one of them and only pull them out the night before we are going to eat them).
These meals also make excellent gifts for new parents, housewarming, teachers, people living on their own, or just about anyone who loves to eat. I am not a spokesperson for Weight Watchers, but if you are following that program, Personal Chef to Go meals are a no-brainer- they take all of the guesswork out of healthy eating and make it easy to stick with the plan in minutes each day. If you are short on time, want to eat healthier, dislike cooking, or just need to freshen up your meal plan, you must give Personal Chef to Go a try. I promise you will not be disappointed.
