REVIEW : TWEAKD READY MEALS
Tweakd offers a unique approach to home-delivered meals, providing an alternative approach of frozen meals designed to be 'Tweakd' to produce tailored meals that are focused on goals, helping to boost peak performance on the field or in the office. It delivers food that is nutritionally designed for the world's best athletes and tweaked to suit the needs of the customer, straight to their door across the nation.
Individuals are able to input their performance goals and preferences before the platform sources the appropriate nutrition required and offers a selection of meals to choose from. They can then pick meals from the list, which are delivered weekly. Once the meals have been cooked, Tweakd utilises its own science and freezes the meals into user-friendly and easily stored meals that have had the great taste locked in through the process.
Omar Meziane is regarded as one of the leading elite sports chefs in the world, having worked with the England football team, Harlequins rugby, England Cricket, British Rowing and many more.
Michael Naylor has supported talent at England Rugby, Team GB and Southampton FC as well as many entrepreneurs and the worlds best poker players.
The pair are combining their considerable experience, understanding the role food science plays in performance, to create tailored meals targeting specific performance goals and delivering high performance food to the masses.
Tweakd exists to support lifestyle and help to boost performance. As a result, the experts believe that there would be no real benefit to customers signing up to just one day a week, for example. It's for this reason that Tweakd has set a minimum subscription of three days a week so that customers can fully benefit from the product.
Prices start from £9.99 per meal for three days a week, reducing to £9.49 at the four day mark and for five days costs £8.99.
Included in a standard meal is a freshly made juice and main dish, which range from Massaman Duck Curry to Falafel Super-Bowl or even Tweakd's vegan Nut-Free Chicken Satay.
OUR REVIEW
TartanSpoon’s taste tester, Kim, went through the online questions and entered her goals of building muscle which brought up a range of dishes tailored made to help achieve these goals. The one dish that caught her eye was the Sri Lankan Chicken Curry with coconut rice, chargrilled tenderstem broccoli and toasted seeds.
Kim tried this out and here’s what she thought:
First off the meals can be cooked in two ways, for 20 mins in the oven or a few minutes in the microwave. They come frozen and packaged in a plastic dish, so it was really easy, just pop it in the microwave and wait. I chose the latter option as I was in a hurry and needed to be somewhere.
The curry itself was a good sized portion, definitely enough for an evening meal. It had just the right amount of spice and a good chunk of chicken, unlike store bought microwave meals that are mostly watery sauce. The rice was nice and fluffy and well cooked too, as was the broccoli, it still had a little bit of crunch to it. Overall it tasted like a nice home cooked meal and didn’t have that usual odd taste you get from a microwave meal. It was also very filling. No complaints from me!
As a non athlete but someone who cares about my body and likes to maintain some sort of fitness regime, I think Tweakd is definitely a good idea especially if you’re busy and don’t have time to cook from scratch but still want to have healthy filling, really great tasting and looking meals.
