As you’re already well aware, the pandemic has led to a surge in home-cooked lunches and dinners. And, thanks to that phenomenon, meal kit delivery services have seen a big spike in business. I recently spoke to the co-founder and CEO of Freshly, Mike Wystrach, who boldly predicted that 2021 would be the year of the microwave. While some people might enjoy making their meals from scratch, and others enjoy the step-by-step approach of DIY kits like Blue Apron, Freshly is the option for people who want healthy, balanced meals that they can stick in the microwave on high for three minutes, rather than dirty an entire kitchen preparing lunch. I haven’t been in the habit of eating fully microwavable meals since the Lean Cuisine craze of the early 2000s, so I was intrigued by Freshly’s approach to food delivery. The company sent me six different meals to try, and I was eager to taste a product that is evidently popular enough to have shipped 50 million times in 2020.
