Helping to reduce kitchen fatigue at home, the meals can be heated in the oven or microwave and are truly ready to eat in a matter of minutes. Some of the new recipes that are available include Creamy Linguine with Peas & Pancetta, Sweet Pea & Broccoli Risotto. The fresh, not frozen, meals are made for ingredient-conscious consumers and they make the most of ingredients like organic produce and eggs, and antibiotic and hormone-free meats. "We've seen an incredible response to our Fresh & Ready line since it originally launched last year," says Don Barnett, CEO, Sunbasket, "Customers shared that they loved the meals, but preferred to purchase single-serve portions, even in non-single households ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Single-serve Meal Delivery:** Opportunity for meal delivery services to shift towards smaller portion sizes and cater to individual needs. - **Ingredient-conscious Convenience:** Potential to develop convenient, pre-prepared meals with fresh, organic, and hormone-free ingredients that appeal to health-conscious consumers. - **Reduced Kitchen Fatigue:** Opportunity for innovative meal solutions that help reduce the time and effort required for meal prep and cooking. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Meal Delivery Services:** Opportunity for meal delivery services to offer single-serve meals that reduce waste and cater to individual needs. - **Convenience Food Industry:** Potential for the convenience food industry to develop fresh, pre-prepared meals with high-quality ingredients that appeal to health-conscious consumers. - **Kitchen Appliances Industry:** Possibility for kitchen appliance manufacturers to innovate appliances that streamline meal prep and reduce cooking time, catering to consumers that experience kitchen fatigue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ready-to-Heat Lunch Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bowls.md) - [Chef-Crafted Non-Frozen Ready Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-apron-prepared-ready-meals.md) - [Protein-Packed Quick-Serve Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-servings-meals.md) - [Single-Serve Plant-Based Entrées](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-serve-plant-based-entrees.md) - [Single-Serve Grocer Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatandeat-meals.md) - [Solo-Friendly Pasta Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-food-collection.md) - [Family-Friendly Frozen Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/familysize-frozen-meals.md) - [Clean Microwavable Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microwavable-meal-cups.md) - [Veggie-Filled Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-pac-bistro-meal-kits.md)
