Kroger brings Chef-Designed Prep+ParedÔ Meal Kits to 37 select Houston area stores

Menu selections include eight freshly prepared recipes and require no subscription

Houston, Texas –  March 14, 2018 – What’s for dinner is no longer a question with Kroger’s new Prep+ParedÔmeal kits now available in 37 select Houston area Kroger stores. Kroger offers eight varieties of fresh entrees that are 100 percent measured, prepped and ready to cook. The kits are skillet to plate in 20 minutes or less – one of the shortest prep times for any meal kit on the market.

Prep+Pared meal kits are chef-designed, never frozen and feed two adults. Featured March recipes include Black Bean Street Cakes with Sautéed Squash and Verde Rice, Crispy Pork Chop and Roasted Tomato and Creamed Spinach, Curry Coconut Chicken with Lemongrass Chutney + Toasted Rice + Green Beans, Truffled Steak + Sweet Potato Fries with Caramelized Onions, Hummus Baked Chicken with Feta + Vegetable Orzo, Fettuccini + Tomato Cream Sauce with Kale + Toasted Pin Nuts, Pan Seared Salmon + Dill Butter and Potato Smashcakes, Carne Asada Steak with Fajita Vegetables + Refried Black Beans.

All entrees are seasonally appropriate and recipes rotate monthly so customers can try new dishes while anticipating the return of favorites later. Gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and dietition’s choice kits are also available, with all nutrition facts and ingredients listed on the packaging label.

“The Prep+Pared meal kits are restaurant quality and delicious,” said Sparkle Anderson, corporate affairs manager, The Kroger Co. “The kits include all ingredients – except salt, pepper and oil – plus an easy-to-follow recipe card. Prep+Pared’s greener packaging requires little refrigerator space – thus the ‘pared’ portion of the name.”

Prep+Pared meal kits are competitively priced and start at $14, with no subscription required. Shoppers will find the custom kits in the deli and may purchase them via ClickListÒ.

“Many customers enjoy cooking at home but don’t have time to pull together the freshest ingredients, flavorings and seasonings,” Anderson said. “Kroger’s Prep+Pared meal kits provide shoppers the opportunity to purchase the kits on their way home, prepare them in their own kitchen and serve in minutes.”

Prep+Pared meal kits are highest quality when used within three days of purchase, with best by dates clearly marked on every package. Freezing is not recommended.
