Fresh Prep Review 2022

22 Mar, 2022

The Vancouver meal kit scene is a very competitive market. See our Fresh Prep Review Summary for a quick comparison, or read through for an in-depth look at one of Vancouver’s, Victoria’s, and Alberta's favorite meal kit delivery companies, both local and national.

Fresh Prep (not to be mistaken with Fresh City Farms, Hello Fresh, and other fresh-induced names) has only been around for a few years now, but they’ve carved out a dedicated following within their Vancouver home. With recent expansion to Victoria and Alberta and designs on next-stage expansion into Western Canada, Fresh Prep has plenty of room to grow. If you don't live in British Columbia or Alberta, you can inquire on the Fresh Prep website when they are coming to your area.

Fresh Prep: Editorial Notes

What we liked about Fresh Prep is that they established their own independent delivery system, whereas many of their meal kit competitors in Canada have to rely on delivery companies such as Purolator.

Many customers like the fact that Fresh Prep pre-cuts all of their vegetables. This may significantly reduce cooking time, especially with novice cooks - just open the box and drop the ingredients in the pot.

Several Fresh Prep reviews commented on how impressed the customers were with the protein quality and selection quantity. Others were impressed with the cooler bag construction that allows food to stay fresh for up to 8 hours without a fridge. In addition, Fresh Prep offers very competitive pricing that fits many budgets. First-time customers receive 3 meals free, which is up to 75% off the first order.

Fresh Prep makes a real effort to source as much as possible from the Vancouver area, so if you live there and supporting local business is a primary factor for you, consider the box checked.

Fresh Prep: Credibility and Reputation

Dhruv Sood, Becky Brauer, and Husein Rahemtulla are the three local brains behind the Vancouver food subscription box startup. Rahemtulla recently spoke to the Globe and Mail, saying, “If we went too fast, too quickly, that would require losing focus on our operations. Things wouldn’t be as tight.”

Budgets are often stretched at startups, and Sood reported that things were no different for the first several years of Fresh Prep’s existence. Things might be looking up for the company, though, with its first round of equity funding for $3 Million.

When asked, the three co-founders (all in their late twenties) said that they felt they could eventually become the best meal kit in Canada. “We like to think of ourselves,” Mr. Rahemtulla cleverly stated, “as the tortoise in the race.”

Fresh Prep: Meal Plans and Menus

Fresh Prep offers a two-person package and a four-person package. Each Fresh Prep meal can be ordered in quantities of two, three, or four each week.

Their website states that they typically offer customers ten Fresh Prep meals options per week. The cost is a very competitive $10-$13 per serving, and the featured prices are inclusive of delivery and taxes (of which there are very few applied anyway). This cost makes them quite similar to their major competitors. Those customers who place their first order via MealKitsCanada get 3 meals free.
