Muscle Foods? Yes please!

With almost all forms of shopping migrating to the online domain, it isn't any surprise that you can purchase hampers full of high protein food to help fuel your fitness endeavours.

Muscle Foods, family-owned business and one of the leading meat suppliers in the UK is one supplier that I have always returned to. With their quality, value for food and excellent customer service, it is easy to see why they are at the forefront of this industry.

Normally, we'd go to Morrisons or Asda (Big supermarket chains here in the UK, for all of our non-UK readers!) to do our weekly shop and deciding what meat to buy is often a daunting task. The fact is, meat isn't cheap and finding good meat that isn't injected with water costs more pennies.

The guys at Muscle Foods have been so kind enough to send us a few hampers for reviewing purposes and what we received looked awesome!

The pictures are made up of three different hamper sets:

Outstanding Summer BBQ Hamper,
Super Fresh Fish Taster Selection
Next-Day Meat, Fish & Snack Variety Hamper.

The Summer BBQ Hamper is currently out of stock, but keep your eyes peeled with Summer being just around the corner.

The food arrives in Muscle Foods iconic custom boxes, which are packaged really well and ensure your food arrives fresh and in pristine condition. As you would expect, the food arrives really quickly, but in the unlikely event where it is delayed, the food will stay chilled for up to 48 hours! We were really excited when our box came, so we went all out and had to get some pictures of the food laid out.

As you can see from the pictures below, this is ALOT of food!

As you could imagine, this would take up a whole lot of space in your freezer (You must freeze the food on delivery unless you plan to eat it all in 2-3 days!), if it was purchased from anywhere else, but Muscle Foods have clearly had storage in mind when they were designing their individual packaging. All of their Steaks, chicken and other filleted meats are all vacuum packed, to allow for optimum storage - I'd rather have simple, but practical packaging over bulky and fancy packaging that takes up half of your freezer space.

Be pre-warned, you will spend some time individually wrapping up some of the larger portioned foods, namely the chicken, when they arrive - just don't do what I did and froze the whole 5kgs of chicken, resulting in a monstrous slab of protein that I had to hack down with a meat cleaver...

Let's talk about value. Muscle Foods sources it's a product directly for suppliers allowing for a lot of its food to be sold for discounted prices. When compared to some big supermarket names, the price difference, their frequent discounts and offers, and more importantly - the quality, is substantial enough to merit it as a viable alternative to visiting your regular markets.

Will I be using Muscle Foods as an alternative for buying my meat? The answer is absolute! My experience with them has been great, and don't let the name scare you away, even if you aren't someone who is in to keep fit, give Muscle Foods a try.
