![]() ![]() I loved the cauliflower pesto bowl…for something that came out of the freezer. Plus, at the end of the day, it’s a frozen meal. This took away from the whole convenience factor. To make one Daily Harvest cup more satiating, I’d end up adding protein (like browning some ground beef to put on top of the cauliflower rice bowl) or eating something else like a protein bar with it. (I have no words for whomever at Daily Harvest decided that some of these meals would feed two people.) With calorie counts ranging from 200 to 300 on average, I’d vote for the latter-especially as most lack a lot of protein or fat, both of which keep you feeling fuller longer. And while all of the Daily Harvest things I’ve eaten (or drank) so far have ranked high in taste, they’ve ranked low in actually filling me up. What I don't like about Daily Harvest The servings are not filling I liked that Daily Harvest offered that in a convenient cup-and I didn’t have to settle for munching on raw celery (yuck) or spend time cleaning, chopping, and cooking veggies or assembling my own ingredients for a smoothie. Neither of which are bad, of course, but they aren’t helping me get the recommended five or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Typically when I want a snack, I reach for pretzels or Cheez-its. The meals make eating fruits and veggies easier Even better, some, like the bites, don’t require any preparation-I just ate them straight from the freezer. The bowls require dumping the contents into a microwave-safe bowl and heating up for four to five minutes, whereas the smoothies just require water (no measuring required-just fill up the cup with water and pour it in) and a whirl in the blender for a few minutes at most. (Plus, for the price, they couldn't include the milk, too?) The meals are quick and easy to makeĪs someone who’s always rushing around-and who hates to cook-I appreciate how little effort it took to make the Daily Harvest meals. The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was the latte, a blend of organic coffee powder and your own milk (I used almond) that you whip up in the blender to prepare-it was unimpressive and a bit bland for my liking. ![]() My favorites were the cauliflower pesto bowl, which tasted like a creamy, healthy version of mac and cheese, and the cacao nibs and vanilla bites, which tasted like raw chocolate-chip cookie dough. The ingredients tasted fresh-as fresh as frozen fruits and veggies can taste, that is. Of the 12 meals I received, all were yummy. After a week of devouring most of the meals, here’s what I loved most. Unpacking all my goodies upon its arrival (they came frozen and packed in dry ice, so they’d stay that way), I felt like the healthy-eating, Gwyneth Paltrow-loving, sometimes-vegan, best version of myself. I opted for the medium Daily Harvest box as, according to the website, it is the most popular option. The cauliflower pesto bowl before (center) and after (right). On the site, each meal has a rating and reviews so you can see what past customers have loved (or disliked) about that particular meal. With more than 100 options to choose from, you can either build a custom box or let Daily Harvest stock your box with some of its bestsellers. The prices of said meals range from $5.99 to $11.99 each and, according to Daily Harvest, each one serves one to two people. Like the large weekly box, the monthly box includes 24 meals. The weekly boxes come in three sizes: small (nine meals), medium (14 meals), and large (24 meals). How does Daily Harvest work?ĭaily Harvest offers three weekly box options and one monthly box option. Unlike most meal kit delivery services that send you ingredients to cook yourself, Daily Harvest does all the work for you: Each cup contains what you need to microwave or blend a nutritious, plant-based meal in minutes. It offers a wide variety of fruit- and veggie-filled options, including smoothies, bowls, soups, “bites” (e.g., snack-sized balls of dates, nuts, and seeds), lattes, flatbreads, and shareable Harvest Bakes. “We take care of food, so that food can take care of you.” That’s the motto of Daily Harvest, the delivery service that brings organic, vegan frozen meals to your doorstep. Daily Harvest wants to make nutritious, plant-based meals an easy reality for its subscribers. ![]()
