Didn’t meal prep? Here’s what I’m reaching for intead
Let’s be real — even with the best intentions, some weeks don’t go to plan.
You’re juggling work, kids, movement, trying to eat well… and then boom, it’s Wednesday, you’re starving, and the fridge is full of ingredients but nothing actually ready to eat.
That’s where ready-made meals done well can be a total game-changer.
Recently, I was sent a box of high-protein, low-carb meals, snacks and kombucha from Thr1ve — and I’ve been seriously impressed. Not just with the quality (although yum), but with how well they fit into a flexible eating lifestyle.
What’s in the box?
Think massaman beef curry with low carb rice, Korean beef keto bowl, beef lasagne, gut-friendly kombucha, and soul-food style snacks like brownies and muffins. All macro-balanced, portioned and genuinely satisfying.
Every meal is:
✅ High in protein
✅ Lower in carbs
✅ Free from added nasties
✅ Ready in minutes
And the best part? You don’t need to overthink it.
When I use them
I don’t rely on pre-made meals for every meal, but having a few in the fridge makes a massive difference for those “I can’t even” moments:
Between meetings when I’ve got 10 minutes to eat
After a big gym session and no energy to cook
On nights I’d otherwise order Uber Eats
When I want to stay on track without making another food decision
They’ve become my no-fuss support system.
Why I partnered with Thr1ve

So when Thr1ve reached out to ask if I wanted to come on board as an ambassador, it was an easy yes. Their approach matches mine: support people with real lives who want to eat well without restriction, rules or pressure.
