"Meal kits are a billion dollar industry selling the promise of convenience
while cooking healthy meals at home. Delivering ingredients and step-by-step
recipes to the doorstep, meal kits reduce the time and energy to plan, shop and
prepare meals. But do they deliver on their promise of health?

While people may think meal kits are healthy, our new research suggests this
varies.

The range and quantity of vegetables in a meal is a great indicator of how
healthy it is. So we assessed the vegetable content of recipes from six
Australian meal kit providers. We found when it comes to nutrition, whether it
be budget friendly or high-end, it’s more about the meals you choose and less
about what company to use."
