When you work hard, you deserve to enjoy your free time, and any way to streamline chores while supporting your healthy lifestyle is a win and a half.

More than just another meal solution, Fresh Prep has arrived in Ontario after a decade simplifying mealtimes out west. And this fall, you can check them out at their Union Station pop-up and see what all the fuss is about.

From September 9 to October 31, Fresh Prep is inviting commuters to stop by their Union Station experience, located beside Danish Pastry House and Greenhouse Juice Co. The grand opening kicks off on September 9 at 10 a.m., after which the space will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Along with snacks and samples of delicious Fresh Prep products, visitors can play a game to win prizes and enter a contest for the chance to win a year of Fresh Prep for free, worth $4,000 (and arguably priceless in terms of time and effort saved).

For anyone who hasn't heard the Fresh Prep hype yet: What sets this proudly Canadian company apart is its broad menu of ready-to-heat meals, chef-crafted recipe kits and over 150 grocery staples available for delivery to your door in reusable cooler bags.

You can mix and match recipes, meals and groceries in the same order, so you have the flexibility to cook when you want or reheat and go when you don't. Fresh Prep uses premium Canadian ingredients, while also saving you time and money on groceries and takeout.

Every week, you can check out their menu drops that feature flavours from around the world, with just-right portion sizes that make it easy to eat delicious food and feel good about it.
