SmartMat Ingredients for Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs

Does the idea of devoting more time to what you love delight you more than queuing in a supermarket? Do you pay attention to what you eat and prefer local products, preferably organic? SmartMat should put a smile on your face. Imagine a few Mondays a month, after work, a refrigerated truck that would deliver to your home all the ingredients needed to prepare easy meals et balanced.
Ideal, no? Curious to know more? InsideBrussels has tested SmartSmat for week 18, 3 meals for 4.

Delivery and reception of the SmartMat

Despite a technical incident for which SmartMat had informed me by text message of a major delay, the SmartMat truck rang at my door slightly later than expected, with a smile.

As soon as I open my SmartMat, the impression is unanimous: wow! The box is filled to the brim and overflowing with products. On the inside, 3 recipes printed on card stock with photos that make you hungry. The recipes look quick and easy. I had never tried a homemade “fish & chips” type recipe, but here, the explanations for making the breaded cod seem really simple. It gives really want to put on your apron and start cooking.

Ingredient-wise, it looks like SmartMat keeps its word. Everything is fresh, from organic chives (still planted in a clod of earth) to cod. I hasten to store everything in the fridge to observe the products. By arranging them, I easily distinguish those that are labeled Biography. Here, no "lights", nor even useless dyes or flavor enhancers! It looks like the SmartMat is as much as possible made up of local products ou Biography.

Week 18 SmartMenu

This week, my SmartMat contained the following recipes, each can be done in less than an hour. The great fan of southern cuisine that I am, makes me change the order of the menu. Instead of cooking the “breaded cod” first, I turn to the “mozzarella stuffed meatballs with tomato sauce”. A delight. In less than 30 minutes everything is on the table. Wonderful!

After reading the explanatory booklet on "SmartMat, what is it?" », we realize that these recipes are not the result of chance. In effect, the menu optimized for a balanced diet is prepared by a team d'experts en nutrition.

Our opinion on SmartMat in Brussels

Our opinion is more than positive. The SmartMat concept is original. Having it delivered to my home on Monday evening allowed me to save significant time and spend the time normally spent in the supermarket in a gym.

From the delivery to the plate, everything was perfect. Smart Mat brings more than ingredients: new and balanced recipe ideas. Here's something to think outside the box for family dinners.

SmartMat also has other Boxes: vegetarian, breakfast and soon “organic fruit basket”. SmartMat also delivers between Namur, Charleroi, Tournai, Mons, Verviers. This should interest more than one.
