The secret to stress-free, nutritious family dinners

Looking for a meal that’s both delicious and nutritious, and that your whole family will love? FreshPrep might be just what you need. KelownaNow's Jason Mann has been a FreshPrep customer for over two years, and he's excited to share his ongoing culinary adventures, this time with their Sweet Potato & Black Bean Bowl.

Jason notes, "This meal turned out to be a family favourite! Not only did it fill all five of us, but there were even leftovers for two lunches the next day. Initially, I thought the meal might "taste too healthy" to get the kids on board with its earthy brown rice and beans. But once all the elements came together, it was truly delicious. The combination of fresh ingredients made the dish satisfying without feeling heavy, leaving us feeling like we had fuelled our bodies with good, wholesome food.

Recipe highlights

The Sweet Potato & Black Bean Bowl Kit includes delicious ingredients like black beans, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and avocado, all perfectly seasoned. The steps were straightforward: cook the rice, roast the vegetables, prepare the refried beans, and assemble the bowl. It took about 40 minutes and felt effortless with everything pre-portioned and easy to follow.

A few reasons to love FreshPrep

Ease of Preparation: "The pre-portioned ingredients made the meal quick and easy to prepare," says Jason. "FreshPrep takes the hassle out of meal prep, making it simple to get a dinner my wife (and often kids) will enjoy, even on the busiest school nights."
