ReadyFit Meals opened its doors in the Oil Center yesterday after months of preparation, and the extensive menu is created to fill stomachs without packing on pounds.
The ReadyFit menu is available online here, and all meals are available in small, medium or large portions for $4-$12 each, but most large portions are in the $8-$9 range. All meals are free of additives, preservatives, hormones or artificial ingredients, and unhealthy ingredients like sodium, sugar, fats and gluten to a minimum.
For breakfast, try out the lighter Super Mario’s protein waffles, which have 88 calories for the small portion and only 176 calories for the large, and are accompanied by seasonal berries and agave syrup. There’s also the chicken n’ waffles, which is only 373 calories for the large with 63 grams of protein, aided by the baked, almond-crusted chicken.
