Factor 75: Nutrition for the Modern Lifestyle

Factor 75 Review, Factor 75, Factor 75 Blue Apron, home delivery meal service,  home delivery meal service Factor 75, Factor 75 home delivery meal service, Chicago food delivery service, Chicago Factor 75, meal delivery serviceI was recently invited to give Factor 75—a Chicago based prepared-meal delivery service that ships deliciously healthy prepared meals to your front door— a try. I was super excited because I’ve been trying to add more nutritious (and delicious) meals to my diet. These days it seems like I’m always on the go. Whether I’m on location for a work related assignment or at home writing for the various sites I freelance for, I often forget about eating a balanced meal. Enter Factor 75! Factor 75 was created by Nick Wernimont to offer affordable, optimally nutritious and delicious prepared meals to enhance mind and body performance. With that being said, Factor 75 IS NOT a diet.

Factor 75 meals come in temperature-controlled packaging (which are super easy to store in the fridge) and can last 4-6 days. Meals come in two sizes, medium (which I got) and large, and costs $10.95 and $12.95, which is a great value! Last weekend I had the incredible opportunity to enjoy four delicious meals from Factor 75. 
1. Porto Pizza Tower [Calorie Count: 590]

 The Porto Pizza Tower is gluten free, dairy free and paleo friendly! Talk about a healthy spin on a guilty pleasure (who doesn’t love pizza?) This yummy dish consists of a layered portabella mushroom cap with sautéed organic spinach, house-made turkey sausage, oven roasted tomato, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. To top that off, it’s served on a bed of quinoa and drizzled with olive oil. This isn’t your average slice of pizza but it’s equally as delicious! 

2. Meatloaf [Calorie Count: 460]

Like the Porto Pizza Tower, the Meatloaf is also gluten free and paleo friendly. I know what you’re thinking, healthy meatloaf? Is that even possible? Well with Factor 75 it is! Served with whipped sweet potatoes (so yummy), fresh baby spinach and a side of traditional marinara sauce, this satisfying meal makes the perfect dinner!
3. Bacon-basted Bison Burger [Calorie Count: 380]

Grass-fed ground bison is mixed with Dijon mustard and egg, and then grilled while being basted with bacon fat to make this incredibly delicious dish. Unlike traditions burgers, there’s no need to add bread or buns. Not only is this meal super yummy, it’s also an excellent source of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron. 
4. Butternut Squash Lasagna [Calorie Count: 420]

My favorite meal of the four (although all were excellent), the butternut squash lasagna is a flavorful mixture of homemade sausage and butternut squash thats layered and baked with marinara sauce. I’m a huge lasagna lover and I have to admit this might be the best lasagna I’ve ever tasted.

My favorite thing about Factor 75 is that they deliver meals that don’t force you to choose between taste and health! You can decrease your planning and cooking time and increase the number of healthy meals in your life by signing up for Factor 75!
