What’s in the box of Australia’s first zero-prep Meal Kitz


So many of us look at cooking as a chore. After a long day in the office, wrangling kids and sitting in traffic, the last thing we want to do is play Masterchef in the kitchen.

But there’s an innovative and delicious meal delivery service that has us cooking because we want to not because we have to.

And get this: dinner is ready in under 15 minutes. Youfoodz Meal Kitz recently launched at a swish event in Sydney that had foodie influencers, er, champing at the bit.

The Meal Kit boxes have all ingredients included so there’s no headache of turning on the stove only to realise you need to walk 10 minutes to the IGA to pick up a mystery missing ingredient. There’s also zero prep time (okay, two Kitz have ONE-minute prep time) making it a nice, clean process in the kitchen. Perfect for those mid-week dinners, right?

Youfoodz Dietitian Margaret Mielczarek says the secret to saving time, money, sanity, and calories all comes down to meal prep.

“If you’re new to the meal prep game and planning a week’s worth of meals, snacks and everything in between throws you into a sweaty panic, break it down,” Margaret told Yahoo Lifestyle.

“Plan for just two or three days to start with, start with one type of meal, e.g. dinner and make a goal to pack your lunches for the week.

Youfoodz ticks all of these (pardon the pun) boxes. There are six Meal Kit recipes, each with the ingredients pre chopped and only six steps to follow before dinner is ready to eat.

The Beef Fajitas, with Crunchy Slaw Kit comes with impossibly soft tortillas and a yummy spread of fillings, including marinated beef strips, cabbage slaw, a fresh mix of capsicum and onions, a rice beans and corn combo, cheese and Mexican-spiced cottage cheese sauce. Now you’re cookin’!

Youfoodz even include the oil.

It’s convenient for week-night dinners but also ideal when you’re travelling interstate, or as a gift for new parents, even teenagers can nail the Meal Kit. And portions are a healthy serving for two people. Win!
