Eighty is the new 40—hours that is. With the extended professional workday the new norm, cooking dinner from scratch after work is rarely in the cards. When you’re so drained that a glass of wine is your substitute for dinner, then you know you need help. Fresh Box, a meal delivery service on O‘ahu, has the solution to the calorie crunch of a busy corporate culture.
Fresh Box subscribers enjoy the luxury of having three two-person meals delivered to their door every week.
Imagine getting home from work and finding a refrigerated box filled with farm-fresh ingredients and easy-to- follow cooking instructions waiting at the door like an anxious puppy.
Chef and founder Will Chen concepted Fresh Box after he joined CrossFit East Oahu. Chen found it nearly impossible to work all day and then cook a well-balanced meal that adhered to his strict diet, which was tailored to compliment his workout regimen. While his fellow crossfitters complained about bland meals and few options, Chen decided to create pre-prepped, healthy meals that could be cooked in just a few minutes. This way, he could work all day, work out in the evening and still have time for a great meal.
With selections like Mediterranean chopped salad with cucumbers, feta and organic oregano, Provencal-style ono with lemon, olives, sundried tomatoes and organic quinoa, and ginger lemon chicken with local watercress, enoki and somen, Chen made the transition from great idea to scalable business. Today, no matter what your schedule may hold, Fresh Box allows its customers to cook like a chef and eat like a king.
