Heat, eat, enjoy: Eat healthily and save time with Factor Meals

Do you find time is constantly slipping away from you? A few extra hours at work when the big project is due, train delays and traffic jams almost every day, and if you've got children, well! The sports clubs and the after-school meetings and the doctors and dentist appointments... It can easily feel that you spend all your time on life's admin, and none of it on actually living.

In among all of that, you are meant to find time to eat healthily. It's all too easy to turn to high-salt pasta sauces, unhealthy frozen pizzas or expensive takeaways. Here's where Factor Meals come in!

Healthy food, fast

Factor Meals will deliver healthy, nutritional, balanced and delicious meals to your door once a week, saving you from having to spend your time in Albert Heijn or in front of the cooker.

Select your meals from €4.99 each and get free shipping on your first 5 boxes

The pre-prepared meals are created by chefs, and are ready to eat in just a few minutes!

Every meal offered has been created to meet the guidelines of the Voedingscentrum, the Dutch government's nutrition centre. The means that every portion includes:

  • More than 150 grams of vegetables
  • As many whole grain products as possible
  • Healthy protein sources and cooking fats
  • No more than 700 calories (except for specialist keto meals that contain no more than 850 calories)

There are no artificial colours or flavour enhancers in Factor Meals, just real, nutritious ingredients such as vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains.

Choose your favourites or try something new

Every week, there are 18 exciting and tasty meals to choose from - and you can explore their menu before you sign up. This wide range of choice means there will always be something that takes your fancy!

Those trying to follow a particular diet will find themselves well-catered for. Dishes are labelled as part of six different plans: Keto, chef's choice, protein+, calorie smart, vegetarian and pescatarian. You can always mix and match meals, so if you are hungering for that Keto-friendly pork tenderloin with caramelised onion, don't worry, you can also order the calorie-smart spiced chicken with wild rice.

Packed with flavour

The menus that Factor Meal's chefs plan are a fun mix of international dishes, with old classics and exciting new dishes each week. Selecting your meals brings the fun of the restaurant into your home! Here's a few of the dishes they featured recently:

  • Chicken à la Florentine with creamy polenta, garlic spinach and cauliflower (calorie smart and high protein)
  • Grilled pork tenderloin and tomato butter with broccoli in roasted pepper sauce and cauliflower puree (keto and high protein)
  • Quinoa bowl with sweet potato and peanut sauce with coriander quinoa, roasted sesame broccoli and spicy peanuts (vegan)
  • Savoury mash and beef casserole with green beans (calorie smart)
  • Salmon in creamy gochugaru sauce with sesame-courgetti (keto and high protein)

Flexible to suit your lifestyle

Not every week is as busy as others, and Factor Meals understand this. You can pause your subscription at any time, for any period of time, and just start up again when you need it.

Deliveries take place either Sunday evening or on Monday, and you can choose your preferred delivery slot. The day before, you'll be sent a more specific delivery time, so there's no unnecessary waiting around. Not going to be in? Just let Factor Meals know which neighbour they can deliver to instead.

The meals are refrigerated rather than frozen, and delivered on a refrigerated truck with ice packs where needed. Just pop them in the fridge when they arrive and you're set for the week!

You can change your mind about the meals you've ordered until the end of the Wednesday before the delivery is due. Do you have a last minute guest or a child who has suddenly decided they don't like peas? No need to panic - just log on and amend your order as required.

Give yourself back your time

Factor Meals start at just 4,99 euros per meal, depending on which subscription plan you take out. That's far cheaper than the ever tempting time-saving takeaway! Plus, as an IamExpat reader, you benefit from an exclusive offer: free shipping on your first five boxes!

So why not sign up for Factor Meals and see how it can change your life. Give yourself more time to spend on the things that are important to you, whether that's more time with the family, catching up on your reading or starting your own business.
