As a family of six, with full schedules and weekly activities, it is hard to set aside time to meal plan. I often use the same meal rotation from week to week out of necessity, and find it hard to get inspired in the kitchen. Plus, every meal is rushed, because we’re always pressed for time. I feel like I am often scrambling to gather ingredients together for meals each night ... or ordering pizza.

Then I was introduced to Just Meats.
Just Meats isn't your typical meal service delivery. Instead, as its name suggests, you just get the meat — chicken, pork, turkey, or beef — cooked with unique spices and sauces. There are no added colors or flavors. It's fully cooked and ready to go, so all you have to do is heat it up, and it's ready to serve. The meats also come seasoned and complete with a coordinating marinade to add additional depth and flavor to each dish.

High quality and delicious
This is quality meat, too: Just Meats is a Utah company that sources 100% real meat from trusted, local, grass-fed ranches. They prioritize meat that meets the highest standards of taste and nutritional value — something you'll know from the first delicious bite.
I decided to give it a try and ... wow! Just Meats took the stress out of mealtime and I felt good about serving my family healthy meals each night, even though I knew I hadn't spent much time in the kitchen. I found it really easy to create side dishes to complement each Just Meats dish since each meat is already full of flavor.
There's no chance of getting bored with Just Meats either. In our first shipment, we got 12 different varieties of meats, all prepared differently. My kids were excited to look over the options and choose one for us to eat each night, which encouraged even my picky eaters to eat. WINNING!
While each package comes in servings of four, we found it was just enough to stretch to feed five people, and even had leftovers some evenings to use for lunch the next day or even stretch to a second meal.

Each night the meat was ready within a few minutes, since it only needed to be heated through and was already packed with flavor.
To top off my positive experience with Just Meats, I realized my kids never once asked throughout the week if we could order out for dinner.
