MissFresh Review – Honey Glazed Salmon
Ok….so here’s the deal. I reviewed my first MissFresh box last week but I have been thinking about it every day since and really felt like I needed to do a follow-up review. When I received my first box I wasn’t as excited about it as I was hoping to be. Some of my produce wasn’t as fresh as it should have been, and I was a little skeptical of the packaging and the recipes. But…..I made all three recipes I received last week and really enjoyed them. Then I received my second box in the mail, and was very impressed with the presentation. I opened it yesterday and everything looked amazing. So, I wanted to make one of the recipes ASAP and show you the results……I’m VERY happy with the way things turned out.

MissFresh Review – Final Thoughts
Ok, so here’s my honest opinion. With my first MissFresh delivery I was worried about the packaging, and the recipes. I didn’t know if the recipes would be tasty as they seemed to be lacking flavours, and almost seemed too simple. But…..after making a few of them I realized that the simplicity is the beauty of this subscription. Lots of their recipes have a prep time of only 15 minutes and are easier to make than some of the other meal delivery services I have tried. And in regards to taste, I actually really like all the recipes I have made so far. Sometimes I add a little extra salt & pepper, but for the most part they are great. The recipes I have received have all been very healthy and don’t include a lot of unnecessary ingredients. Sure, they are simple, and to some they might not have enough flavour, but I prefer simple flavours. I don’t want spices and fat and dairy to take away from the main ingredients. In this case, I want to taste the salmon and the peppers. I don’t want them to be covered in a fatty or sugar dressing. Basically, I am a HUGE fan of MissFresh and have already scheduled 2 more deliveries.
