ONE WEEK OF FAMILY VANTAGE: Our honest review! 🍽️ Family Vantage | Week, decided
I mentioned before that I would never promote or collaborate with a business or product that I wouldn’t genuinely use myself. So, naturally, I had to put Family Vantage to the test with my own family!
We just finished our first week, and here’s how it went 👇
THE GOOD:
🥦 We tried new foods! Both the adults AND the kids. We tend to get stuck in our routines, and one thing I’ve always been conscious of is not creating a repetitive, limited menu for our boys. This was such an easy way to introduce foods and ingredients we wouldn’t normally think to buy.
🥕 Everything was in season! This is something I’ve always wanted to be more intentional about, but realistically, it’s never made it to the top of my meal-planning priorities. Having that already thought out for me was a huge bonus.
👩🍳 We got the kids involved! I followed some of the cues from Family Vantage about including kids in meal prep, and my 4-year-old LOVED it. He helped make a few of our meals throughout the week, and I noticed that being involved in the process actually encouraged him to eat more of what we prepared! Such a simple thing, but a really great reminder that getting kids involved in the kitchen can make a difference in how they approach food.
💰 We saved money AND wasted less food. Our grocery bill was lower this week, and we had noticeably less food waste at the end of it. A win on both fronts!
WHAT WE HAD TO ADJUST: #
🥪 Some of the lunches required cooking or prep right before eating. Since we both work outside the home and aren’t around to make lunch, we had to modify a few recipes or prep things ahead of time. Nothing major, just something we had to work around.
🥣 We definitely didn’t make every single planned meal. Some mornings are chaotic, and sometimes breakfast is whatever we can throw together in five minutes. That’s just life with kids.
BUT HERE’S MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY:
Even if we only made 75% of the planned meals, that’s still 75% of the cooking I DIDN’T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.
And honestly? That was AMAZING.
