Now let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the meals. The digital recipe cards listed the total macronutrients of each serving, along with the total kilojoules. All three of my meals were plant-based and so I was pleased to see that the protein content was high, ranging from 20-30g per serve.
Good quality carbohydrates were included with each meal, such as brown rice, which helped to bulk up the meals.
Healthy sources of fats were also included in the form of nuts, however, I would have preferred olive oil to be used in the recipes as opposed to vegetable oil as this is a healthier oil to cook with.
Each recipe includes six ingredients which doesn’t allow for a huge amount of variety. As a Nutritionist, I spend a lot of my time educating people about eating more vegetables. Unfortunately, Dinnerly misses the mark on providing enough vegetables, the tofu curry noodles for example only included kale.
I found each of the meals to be quite salty. Most recipes called for the addition of soy sauce which I felt wasn’t necessary as the plant-based proteins provided were high in sodium. This may be something to consider if you are following a low sodium diet.
