Looking for a convenient meal kit in New Zealand? My Food Bag takes care of much of the work that comes before dinner, with fresh ingredients, recipes and everything you need delivered to your door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means less time spent planning meals, writing shopping lists and grocery shopping, and no wondering what to cook when 5pm rolls around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you need dinner on the table even faster, My Food Bag has a range of options designed to make busy nights even easier, from 15-minute recipes and one-pan meals to Pre-Prepped recipes and Ready Made Meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Convenience of a Meal Kit, Built In<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest convenience of a meal kit happens before you even start cooking. With My Food Bag, you choose from 30+ recipes each week and we take care of the rest. Your ingredients arrive at your door, pre-portioned and matched to the recipes you’ve chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means less time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Searching for recipes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Planning what to cook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Figuring out what you already have at home<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Writing shopping lists<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Grocery shopping<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Measuring and portioning ingredients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Instead, simply open the fridge, choose your meal and get cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pre-Prepared Ingredients Save Even More Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For nights when you don’t want to spend ages chopping, peeling and prepping, many My Food Bag recipes include pre-prepared ingredients. It’s one of the simple ways we make cooking easier without taking away the enjoyment of making dinner yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We also offer dedicated pre-prepped recipes, with all the ingredients ready to go, so there’s virtually no prep between you and dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ready Made Sauces Make Flavour Easy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Great flavour doesn’t have to mean making everything from scratch. Many My Food Bag recipes include ready-made sauces, dressings and spice blends, so you can add delicious flavour without having to measure out a long list of ingredients or make a sauce from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It’s another little bit of dinner prep taken care of for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When You Need Dinner Even Faster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes the convenience built into a meal kit isn’t quite enough. You need dinner fast. That’s where My Food Bag’s range of quick and easy options comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 15-Minute Recipes:\u00a0<\/strong>Each week, we offer 15-minute recipes designed to get a delicious dinner on the table quickly, without resorting to takeaway or compromising on fresh ingredients. They’re ideal for busy weeknights, late finishes, after-school activities or simply those nights when you want to spend less time in the kitchen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • One-Pan and One-Pot Recipes:<\/strong>\u00a0Less cooking equipment means less washing up. Our one-pan and one-pot recipes keep the cooking simple and the clean-up to a minimum, so there’s less to deal with once dinner is done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pre-Prepped Recipes:\u00a0<\/strong>Pre-marinated or pre-cooked meats, ready made sides, pre-made sauces \u2013 all the hard work is done for you, all you have to do is cook and enjoy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Ready Made Meals:<\/strong>\u00a0On the nights when you don’t want to cook at all, there’s Ready Made. Our fresh, small-batch Ready Made Meals can be heated in the oven or microwave, making them our easiest dinner option yet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      More Than a Faster Dinner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The biggest benefit of My Food Bag isn’t necessarily getting dinner cooked faster, although you can. It’s everything you don’t have to do. You don’t have to spend Sunday planning the week ahead. You don’t have to write a shopping list. You don’t have to walk around the supermarket looking for ingredients you’ll only use once. And you don’t have to stand in the kitchen wondering what you can make from what’s left in the fridge. My Food Bag takes care of the work around dinner, while giving you the flexibility to choose how much of the cooking you want to do yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Whether you want to get dinner on the table in 15 minutes, keep the washing up to a minimum or skip cooking altogether, My Food Bag makes it easier to get dinner sorted on busy weeknights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
