The Company (Musclefood)

Musclefood Review
Musclefood is an online provider of (as you may guess from the name) meat, protein meals, snacks and supplements. However they also stock, vegetables, dairy products, nuts, grains and bundles such as the one that will be reviewed below. 

I've been using them myself for just over a year and have always found it a really easy service to use that delivers high quality meat. 

Before I begin to gush on about how much I love the company I first want to say that I am in no way affiliated with Musclefood, or receiving any benefit from this article (although if anyone from Musclefood is reading, I'd be very happy with some free stuff!). 

In terms of their product offering, I primarily use them for bulk orders of meat. Using a staple meat of an athlete, chicken, as an example, 2.5kg of premium chicken breasts can be bought for £19, which equates to £7.60 per kg. 

Go through chicken quicker than a ravenous fox near a chicken farm? 

You can easily buy in bulk, where buying 10kg results in just £4.95 per kg, compared to what's on offer in your local Tesco or ASDA, not only is this significantly cheaper, but (in my experience) much better quality too. 

One reservation that is worth mentioning is Musclefood's delivery strucuture, whilst they now deliver both through the week for £3.95 and on Sundays for the sum of £7.95 if you don't spend over £75, they don't offer specific delivery time slots, which might leave you waiting around for the entire morning for your delivery. 

If you like to keep your days quite busy, this is naturally a bit of a disadvantage. It would be great to see the company offering potential 2 hour slots for customers in future.

The Box (Try Us Selection)

Musclefood Review
Chicken Breast Fillets

Usual Price = £7
Protein / 100g = 22.7

Enough tasty chicken for 2 meals, what else could you wish for?

Musclefood Review
Great British Hache Steaks

90% Beef steaks, can be cooked on a bed of kale, spinach and asparagus, delicious.

Musclefood Review
British Lite Beef Burgers

Protein / 100g = 22

Leaner than chicken beef burgers, guilt free barbecuing.

Musclefood Review
Chicken Drumsticks

Usual Price = £3
Protein / 100g = 17.4

Try coating it in a breadcrumb and piri piri coating and you'll be giving KFC a run for their money.

Musclefood Review
Diced Sweet Potatoes

Usual Price = £1.25

Ready diced and a much healthier source of carbohydrates than a bowl of chips.

Musclefood Review
High Protein Apricot Wafer

Usual Price = £1.50

An alternative to a protein bar to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Musclefood Review
Smoky Barbecue Zippers

Usual Price = £1.40

Just protein crisps, the same crunch but without the guilt.

Musclefood Review

A chocolatey, caramely bar, choose this over your next snickers.

Musclefood Review

Very low fat, have it with vegetables or however else you like, easy!

Musclefood Review
Lean Chicken Breast Sausages

Just like pork sausages, but made from chicken with a fraction of the fat.

Musclefood Review
Low Fat Back Bacon Medallions

Usual Price = £3
Protein / 100g

Who doesn't love bacon? This even has the fat trimmed off for a leaner full English breakfast.

Musclefood Review
Chopped Seasonal Cabbage

Usual Price = £1

Not overly exciting, great for bringing down your oestrogen though.

Musclefood Review
Curly Green Kale

Usual Price = 1.25

One of the number one superfoods that's packed with vitamins and nutrients.

Fresh Delivery

So your meat does arrive at room temperature, leaving you frantically throwing pieces into the fridge and freezer once it's delivered, meat comes delivered in a clever box with hydrated gel ice sheets, ensuring your meat arrives fresh out the box.

Conclusion

As previously stated, I don't work for Musclefood, nor do I receive any benefits from this article (unfortunately...). 

I have however used them for a number of meat based deliveries over the past 18 months or so whilst off work and have always been happy with both the service and the products.

They also have a whole host of athletes endorsing their products such as Louis Smith & David Haye, so there's got to be something they are doing right! 

With regards to this box itself I threw steamed all the veg then methodically cooking each of the meats when I wanted them, whilst taking the snacks with me to eat on-the-go. 

Providing you can work around the potentially troublesome delivery if you have a busy routine, you can get this box containing decent quality meat to your door, and for £19 it doesn't get much better.

However, if you don't fancy cooking, there are a range of protein powders to help you reach your goals!
