Tovala Meal Delivery Review

Overview

Tovala brings a new concept to the meal subscription industry. It provides pre-packaged raw, healthy, low-calorie meals. These are cooked in 20 minutes or less in a special Tovala Oven, which scans a barcode on the meal packaging and sets the adequate cooking settings for each meal. The company offers eight meal choices weekly, which include gluten-free and vegetarian options.

About Tovala

Tovala meal delivery service features a weekly menu of eight different pre-packaged meals, of which at least two are vegetarian and three are gluten-free.  All meals are balanced to be between 400-800 calories and can be cooked in the Tovala Oven in under 20 minutes. This makes home-cooked meals easy and eliminates prep time and cleanup.  The meal ingredients are fresh and do not contain preservatives. The salmon is farm raised, the chicken is antibiotic- and hormone-free, and the pork is hormone-free as well. Each meal includes allergen information in addition to its nutritional values.

Apart from Tovala’s meal delivery service, Tovala’s premiere feature is its Tovala Oven, which aims to cook meals at exactly the right time, temperature and mode. The oven boasts toast, steam, bake, broil, reheat, and barcode-scanning modes, along with programmable digital temperature and time displays, and is controlled by the Tovala mobile app. The Tovala Oven barcode scan can be used to automatically set the cooking settings for the Tovala ready-to-cook meals or for all of Trader Joe’s frozen foods with oven/toaster cooking instructions.

Customers may also order Tovala meals through the mobile app. This app lets customers to scan food in the supermarket to make sure it is compatible with the oven. Lastly, the app boasts a library of 60+ recipes to cook from scratch in the Tovala Oven.

Each meal is $12 and serves one person. Tovala offers flexible plans of 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 12 meals a week, which can be easily switched, paused, skipped for a week or more, or just canceled.

Final Thoughts on Tovala

Tovala sets itself apart from other meal delivery subscription services with their convenient, fresh, and ready-to-cook meals that are efficiently cooked in the Tovala Oven. However, Tovala is better suited for those who are not on a budget, as its per meal price is on the higher end of the spectrum of the industry standard, and the oven is a hefty separate and necessary one-time purchase.
