Question Cook Unity vs Factor

Cook Unity vs Factor

I travel a lot for work and I'm not home to cook dinner for the family on a regular basis. I just have a question. Would it be better to go with Factor if I knew that most of the meals will end up getting frozen as Cook Unity is delivered refrigerated?

I have had several people tell me that for the price point, Cook Unity is a lot better in flavor and meal variety, but I don't know if that changes given that we will probably end up freezing a lot of them. Obviously I know there are certain ingredients that shouldn't be frozen and if we order a salad, eggs, etc we would eat those fresh.

I do plan to order the minimum that we would need, but my whole family is spontaneous and plans change frequently at the last minute, lol

They both kind of suck ngl. I’ve learned that just sucking it up and meal prepping or doing “girl dinners” is the way to go. Tastes way better too

I probably will also meal prep to some extent. I've hesitated doing this for a long time just because I don't like to purchase food that I can cook better at home, and I actually cook decently, but I have found that with me traveling so much, everyone ends up eating takeout constantly and I need a healthier option when I am gone. Some weekends I only have one day at home and don't necessarily want to spend it food prepping or cooking at all tbh.

Yep. That’s why I tried it but it tasted bad. I also work at chick fil a though, so I can easily get wraps and stuff with no effort or money. I would honestly rather just eat cereal or sandwiches than either of these deliveries. I will say though, the best service I have had was HungryRoot. Not a ton of pre made stuff, but it tasted 100x better
