As a busy medical student, time management is key. We have to learn how to prioritize ourselves while focusing on our school work on a daily continuum. Nutrition is of upmost importance to keep us energized, optimized and in tune with our studies. Unfortunately, time is so precious so cooking and meal prepping often falls on the back burner.

I’ve been so fortunate to discover CookUnity, the meal delivery service providing over 300 chef prepared meals from local restaurants for a very affordable price.

The best thing about CookUnity is these meals have sufficient calories  and nutrition to last you lunch and dinner.

What is Cook Unity

CookUnity is a personalized meal subscription service for busy people who value nutritional meals, with a chef’s touch without breaking the bank. This service allows you to eat restaurant quality dishes at home with the convenience of no prep or mess.

So far I’ve tried over 25 different meal options and they’ve all been five-star restaurant quality I’m not kidding.

Some of my favorite meals are listed below:

Chicken Avocado Burger with Lemon aioli and sweet potato fries

Jerk Lamb Meat Balls

Chia Baked Salmon with Cauliflower Rice and Broccoli

Citrus Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potato, Poblano Pepper, and Onion Herbed Hash

Bacon wrapped Chicken Breast with Cauliflower Puree and Spinach

Creamy Basil and Tomato Chicken with Grilled Asparagus

Braised Lamb Sabzi with Cumin Seed Rice

Coq Au Vin

Caprese Chicken with Spicy Italian Broccolini

Roasted Salmon with Sauteed Kale and Sweet Potato Mash

Turkey Meatloaf with Cauliflower Mash and Mushroom Gravy

Easy to Use

Effort less meals that do NOT require meal prepping, cooking or seasoning! The best part is that the meals come pre-cooked and all you need to do is heat it up in the microwave for 4 minutes or less or pop it in the oven for 15- 20 minutes based on your preference. Afterwards,  you’re good to go.

Quality of Ingredients 

CookUnity prioritizes fresh seasonal and local ingredients. Because of this you can expect meals to be non-GMO, humanely raised, organic when possible, nothing artificial, and cooked from scratch. Every meal discloses a list of ingredients used to prepare for full transparency.

Portion Control and Calorie count 

Every meal includes a list of the amount of calories, the amount in grams of protein, carbohydrates and sodium content.

Variety 

You can choose from more than 300 different meals with Cook Unity’s weekly menu. You also have the option of tailoring the meals dependent upon your own personalized interests. Dietary preferences are numerous, including the options of Paleo, Vegetarian, Keto, Whole 30 and Vegan diet selections. There’s also the option of selecting the types of proteins you’d like to have including plant-based,  seafood, pork, super foods and even kid friendly meals. Further, you can make a list of things to avoid such as dairy, high carbs, sugar, soy, gluten, high fat, low-fat more than 600 cal, high sodium, nuts, low protein and spicy flavoring. Last but not least, you can input information about yourself regarding your gender, age range, height, weight and your fitness and overall nutrition goals so that the in-house  nutritionist can carefully select the perfect meal combination for your needs.

Budget friendly 

Depending on your weekly meal allowance, you can have meals for less than $10.50. You have the option of choosing between 4 ,6,,8,12,16 meals per week. With my code MADAMEWINNELL or using this discount code linked here, you have have $60 off your first two orders!  Each week you get to rate the meals and those that are rated five stars will be prioritized for you again and also will be provided with similar options.

I highly recommend this meal delivery service option. As a foodie living New York City, my taste buds and palate have been loving every meal that I have ordered. With this in mind, I hope you take that leap and try a week worth’s of meals.  Bon Apetit and happy studying!
