What New Yorker hasn’t used Fresh Direct’s convenient online grocery service? Those trucks with the ubiqitous orange cabs can be seen squeezing down even the narrowest city streets delivering sustenance to busy Manhattanites.

With the introduction of their FREE iPhone app, Fresh Direct has now made grocery shopping more convenient than ever, at least for iPhone users.

Aside from the time-saving convience, using an on-line grocer is a great way to eat smarter. People who plan out their meals and keep their kitchens stocked with healthy items tend to eat more healthfully. Fill your cart with a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, eggs, lean meats, low-fat dairy, whole grain bread, canned beans, nuts, and even chocolate. Stock up on some convenience foods as well because you know there will be nights when you get home and that take-out menu will tempt you with it’s burgers and fries. There are over twenty-five 4-Minute heat & serve meals available with 500 calories or less. Or order a fruit or veggie tray, and snack on it throughout the week.

If you’re daunted by meal planning and grocery shopping, you’re in luck. Book an appointment with Mental Kitchen, and allow me to design a customized 1-week meal plan, complete with 7 days of nutrient-packed breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas. Based on your food preferences and the bounty of food items available from Fresh Direct®, I can fill your virtual shopping cart with healthy fare. All you have to do is schedule a delivery time.
