Despite the fact that there are many consumers who make a habit of cooking at home, a fair percentage of people still find it to strike a balance between healthy, quick and delicious—as such, Sun Basket launched 'Quick & Easy' meals to remedy this.

Sun Basket has developed its new new Quick & Easy Meal Plan to appeal to Millennials and Baby Boomers alike, as well as others who want to spend more time enjoying food than making it. Some of the Quick & Easy meal options include 20-Minute Meals, Easy Prep recipes with reduced steps, [One-Pan Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hormel-square-table) and perfect summer recipes that can be prepared on the grill for easier cleanup.

When it comes to selecting one of the new 20-Minute Meals, consumers will not be starved for choice with options like Miso Tempeh Burgers with Garden Salad and Dijon Vinaigrette.
