DESPITE the growing cost of living, Australians are buying takeaway food up to three times a week with Canstar Blue reporting that on average, Aussies spend $60 a week on takeaways.
Meal delivery service, Lite n' Easy, has decided to taken on Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon with its new family friendly offering, Xpress Meal Kits.
The new hybrid meal kits, available nationally, aim to be a quicker and easier version of the regular meal kits on the market, supposedly to take the hard work out for busy families.
Celebrity Chef and Lite n' Easy ambassador, Matt Sinclair said, "these dinners are great to have in the fridge as an option for a healthy meal when I haven't got time to prepare anything myself".
"For me and my young family, juggling the restaurant and other food projects, it's all about convenience.
"I came home from the gym the other night and had the chicken schnitzel meal kit ready for the family in a flash.
"I did the schnitzels in a hot oven, but they can also go in a pan or in the air fryer, whatever is most convenient for people," he added.
Lite n' Easy states the new meal kits, need an average of only 13 mins of prep time, include several family favourites such as Pasta Bolognaise with Garlic Bread, Margherita & Classic Supreme Pizzas, Chicken Schnitzel and Butter Chicken with Naans, but minus the extra calories and saturated fat.
