Busy households ‘completely love’ chef-made prepared meals for beneath £5

Grubby has launched a new range of plant-based frozen ready meals that cook in under 10 minutes from frozen – perfect for busy households looking for quick, tasty dinners

Time-pressed vegan families can eliminate daily cooking stress by ordering plant-based ready meals that are table-ready in just 10 minutes straight from the freezer. Grubby, Britain’s pioneering exclusively plant-based meal kit company, has branched out into chef-crafted frozen ready meals, delivering the same vibrant flavours.

The fresh collection draws upon Grubby’s original allplants formulations, featuring dining choices like Creamy ‘Nduja Rigatoni, Miso Tamari Buddha Bowl, and Tofu Saag Paneer Curry. Dishes are prepared for consumption in under eight minutes, available for purchase in bundles or individually, requiring a minimum order of six meals.

The frozen plant-based convenience meals arrive directly at your doorstep, offering flexibility between monthly or weekly deliveries. Customers can also pause weeks or months, proving especially handy for those planning getaways. First-time orders also qualify for complimentary delivery.

The Mixed Taster Bundle (featuring 12 ready meals) typically retails for £79.80, but with the newcomer’s 25% reduction, it drops to £59.85, reports the Mirror.

The 12-meal collection encompasses dishes including a Tex-Mex Protein Bowl, two Tofu Saag Curry, Tempeh Rainbow Buddha, Spicy Szechuan Noodles, Chickpea and Apricot Tagine, two Miso Tamari Buddha, Harissa Cauliflower and Grains, Cashew Mac and Greens and two Creamy ‘Nduja Rigatoni.

For more modest orders, there’s the Comfort Classics Bundle, featuring four dishes including Tofu Saag Curry, Chickpea and Apricot Tagine, Cashew Mac and Greens, and Creamy ‘Nduja Rigatoni. Whilst all the meals within the bundles are available individually, there’s a minimum requirement of six ready meals per order.

There’s additionally a bundle of eight that customers can choose. Every Grubby plant-based ready meal is designed to be gut-friendly and loaded with fibre, protein and wholefood ingredients. Subscribers also enjoy the flexibility to cancel whenever they wish, according to Grubby’s pledge.

In a similar vein, GreenChef provides a vegan and vegetarian delivery option, offering various recipe boxes starting from £23.36 weekly, reduced from the usual £38.94. Customers can select from 35 different recipes each week, encompassing keto, high-protein, and lower-carb alternatives.

HelloFresh represents another recipe box alternative. This platform also caters to pescatarians and meat-eaters, with pricing beginning at £14.49 for your initial week.

Those keen on buying meals from Grubby can browse reviews and ratings regarding its service and standard on Trustpilot. Given that the ready meals are a recent launch, customer feedback is primarily centred on the brand’s recipe kits.

One shopper commented: “I’ve had Grubby for a whilst now and absolutely love it. So easy to cook with loads left over.”

Another satisfied customer remarked: “Grubby are great at responding to queries – few and far between as they are – really quickly, with excellent responses. The quality of produce is generally very good, as are the recipes, and the customer service is a refreshing change from other meal kit providers.”

One diner enjoyed the food but had reservations about the wrapping, commenting: “I have only had a couple of deliveries but the meals have been extremely tasty, and portion sizes are great even my carnivore husband enjoys them, I love that you get a recipe card with the order and I don’t have to try and read the recipe on my phone, I do wish there was less plastic in the packaging though.”

Another customer was absolutely chuffed, penning: “Grubby has been life-changing! My schedule is really busy, so I never have time to think about my meals, but with Grubby, I have been introduced to so many new foods, and I look forward to dinner every day! Feel really good and healthy, and have peace of mind, knowing exactly what is going into my meals! 100% recommend.”

A final reviewer declared: “We absolutely love Grubby. As a vegetarian and a flexitarian, we wanted to eat more plant-based meals, and we were struggling to come up with interesting recipes. So we started getting the meal boxes, and we really look forward to trying new, exciting meals every week. If anyone says they think vegan food is boring, expensive or difficult to make – they obviously haven’t tried Grubby!”

Established in London back in 2019, Grubby launched with a straightforward concept: making plant-based cooking approachable, tasty and anything but boring. The company’s goal is to encourage people to incorporate more plants into their diet without making it complicated.

Each delivery arrives complete with specially chosen Spotify playlists and eye-catching packaging.
