Factor75 Meals: A Healthy Two-Minute Meal Service

We spent a week testing this meal delivery service to understand the hype behind Factor75, and we came away impressed.

Meal delivery services have evolved significantly over the years. What was once a one-size-fits-all model now offers diverse choices, including chef-crafted meals and dietary-specific options such as gluten-free selections. 

Whether you need a family-friendly service or a health-conscious option, having ready-made meals that can be quickly heated in the microwave or oven offers unparalleled convenience.

When we discovered Factor75, we were eager to try it. The promise of fresh, non-frozen meals prepared by professional chefs and ready in under 10 minutes was too enticing to ignore. 

After a week of trying these meals, here’s what we found. Spoiler: These nutrient-packed dishes are a far better alternative to fast food.

What is Factor75?

Factor75 sets itself apart from traditional meal kits like HelloFresh or Home Chef. Instead of providing ingredients and a recipe card, Factor75 delivers fully prepared meals created by professional chefs.

Unlike some services that require special appliances, such as Tovala, Factor75’s meals only need to be reheated—no prep required. Meals arrive chilled, not frozen, and are ready to be stored in the fridge until mealtime.

A major focus of Factor75 is catering to various dietary preferences, including keto and plant-based diets. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who prioritize healthy eating but don’t have time for meal prep.

Our Factor75 Review

Annamarie Higley, our Product Testing Manager, tested Factor75 for a week. She was impressed with the meal quality, flavors, and convenience. She sampled five dishes:

• Loaded Bacon and Spinach Shredded Chicken
• Indian-Style Butter Chicken
• Stroganoff-Style Beef Burger
• Nonna’s Sunday Beef Bolognese
• Vegetarian Tamale Bowl

Though there were some initial challenges with the ordering process, customer service was quick to resolve the issue. Annamarie had trouble adjusting her first delivery date, which seemed locked in despite her attempts to modify it. 

However, after contacting customer service, she was able to reschedule, and the updates appeared immediately in her account.

Menu Options

Factor75 offers around 35 rotating meal options each week. While the selection follows a predictable formula—protein, vegetables, and grains—the variety is solid. 

However, those seeking highly creative dishes might find the menu less exciting compared to services like CookUnity.

The add-on section is where Factor75 truly shines, offering:

• Breakfast bundles (pancakes, scrambles, egg bites)
• Cold-pressed juices
• Protein shakes
• Desserts (cheesecake, macaroons)
• Keto-friendly snacks (cookies, PB bites, nuts)
• Frozen items (smoothies, empanadas)
• Protein powders and basic sides

These extras can be selected after choosing the main meals.

Dietary Filters and Customization

Factor75 provides a range of filters to help customers tailor their orders. The first set of filters includes categories like Top Rated, New, Stay Balanced, and Global Flavors. Additionally, customers can filter by dietary needs such as:

• Calorie Smart
• Protein Plus
• Keto
• Carb Conscious
• Vegan & Veggie

Recipes also include clear labels for calorie counts, carb content, and dietary suitability. Spicy and premium-priced meals are flagged as well.

Website and App Experience

Our experience with Factor75’s website was underwhelming. The design felt gimmicky, resembling a game-like interface that was overwhelming and confusing. 

Annamarie noticed that meals were automatically added to her cart—when she selected one dish, four additional meals appeared without her choosing them. This made it necessary to double-check the cart before checkout.

The mobile app, on the other hand, was more user-friendly. It still had some cluttered displays, but navigation was simpler. Key features include:

• Editing and adding meals under “Deliveries”
• Rating and reviewing dishes in the “Cookbook” section
• A social aspect with the “Feed Friends” feature
• Tracking rewards through the “Achievements” tab
• Profile settings management

Delivery Experience

Factor meals arrive in a compact, branded box with thick insulation and large ice packs to keep the food chilled. Meals are packaged in cardboard sleeves with plastic trays and covers—something to consider for those trying to minimize plastic waste.

Tracking shipments through Factor75’s website is not an option. Instead, updates are sent via automated text messages from the third-party courier, Veho. Additionally, Annamarie requested that her package be left at her back door, but the courier did not follow these instructions.

Meal Highlights

Loaded Bacon & Spinach Shredded Chicken

This dish was one of Annamarie’s favorites. It can be prepared in just two minutes in the microwave or about 11 minutes in the oven.

“The bacon was thick and crisped up nicely in the oven,” she noted. “The ranch dressing was exceptional—not sure if it’s house-made, but it’s leagues better than store-bought. Overall, it was a flavorful, satisfying meal.”

Vegetarian Tamale Bowl

Despite opting for microwave preparation, Annamarie was impressed with the taste.

“This dish had a noticeable spice level, which might be too intense for some,” she said. “However, the corn ‘mash’ helped balance the heat with its subtle sweetness. The kidney beans made it filling, even without meat. Overall, it was flavorful enough to feel homemade.”

Pros and Cons

Pros:
