Amazing news from us at FYF! We’ve partnered with MuscleFood to help you enjoy real quality meat and save a bunch of money at the same time! I’m really excited to be promoting their incredible £59 value hamper, as it genuinely is a lifesaver in these difficult times. The hamper has you covered for 66 meals, which comes to less than 90p per portion! I reckon you can stretch it even further though, so I put together a plan below that gets a family of 4 fed for 25 meals. This means you’ll be able to make a whole of 100 portions out of it! The meat portion in your meals just comes to 59p on average that way!
The hamper comes with a whole of 7.3kg of meat and a £5 gift card! Plus, if you order before 15th August, you get a free snack bundle worth £12!
For most of us the cost of meat makes up for the majority of a meal’s total cost, so saving on that cost with this amazing hamper will really bring your overall shopping cost down. Plus, the meals you can make from the hamper are much healthier than a lot of the things you can get at normal grocery stores. MuscleFood have made it their mission to make it as easy as possible for everyone to have a healthy diet and reach their fitness goals, so you can rest assured that their products are packed with goodness.
For any of you who have fewer mouths to feed or a bit of a tighter budget, MuscleFood also have a 44 meal hamper for just £45, the £5 voucher included, and, as with the £59 hamper, you can snap up the free snack bundle with this if you order before 15th August!
Now, if you’re not sure what to make with the ingredients in the hamper, fear not! Here is my healthy meal plan that stretches the meat to 100 portions for you!
Cottage Pie
Cottage Pie is the first meal on my list as it’s a great way to bulk out your meat. It’s an old classic – who doesn’t love a cottage pie? – and it’s easy to reheat, so I’ve put it on as an option for two meals and not just one. Of course, I’ve got a recipe for cottage pie on my website, so please head over here to read it.
As time goes on, you’ll find that you can use a lot of what you’ll have left over from this meal in other meals as well, such as onion or oats, which you will also need for my lasagne below, so you’ll be able to save by buying some of them in bulk. My cottage pie turned out like this…
Lasagne
Of course, lasagne is an all-time family favourite! You can’t go wrong with lasagne, so I put it on the plan for two meals as well. With so many ready made kinds of lasagne being offered in shops, many people won’t bother making it from scratch, but with quality meat like in your Muscle Food Hamper, you really can taste the difference. Plus, it works out much cheaper than a store-bought lasagne and you’ll be able to make it without all the nasties that go into ready meals.

Cheese Burger Pasta
This recipe is a great way to use up your leftovers. It’s as simple as it sounds – I had some hamburgers leftover and some pasta in my cupboard, and tada!
It’s a really quick and yummy midweek meal! You can bulk it out with your family’s favourite veg as well! That’ll make it an even healthier meal and it’ll make the yummy meat go a bit further. Find my full recipe here!
Sweet & Spicy Meatballs
As meatballs are a favourite in my house, and I’m sure they will be in yours if you have kids, I tried to come up with new ways of spicing them up. This recipe pairs them with a lovely Asian style sweet & spicy sauce. I bet your family will love them too! You don’t have to make them very spicy at all, just season the way you would like them. Here’s my recipe and have a look at my tasty result below!
All that said, do give the MuscleFood Hamper a go – you’ll be amazed how many ways you can use the meat and how lovely it tastes! Like I said earlier, if you want to follow my plan, you’ll have 100 meals sorted, so it’s incredibly good value!
