This here.... is great. I didn’t even know that this existed! As a new vegan bodybuilding nutrition is so important for me. Thanks for this. Natalie ❤️
Adding my two cents from trying multiple vegan delivery including these two: - Veestro is my all-time favorite. The food is very flavorful and the proportions are generous. Also, I've tried a ton of their meals and a bunch is in the 25-30 gram protein range. It definitely tastes homemade, eco-friendly, affordable and you can choose between subscription or a la carte. I also experienced a bunch of sales and bought 30 meals for under $300! - Daily Harvest is my least favorite. The proportions are horrible and I also felt like I needed to add food to each meal to feel satiated and pretty low in protein overall. They are flavorful and eco-friendly though. It's costly, especially when you realize how much food you get with Veestro. Lastly, they don't rotate their meals very often and I got bored very quickly with the options and flavor. I don't like that you can only choose from bowls, flatbreads, or smoothies for main meals. They are better for breakfast and maybe lunch service. - Thistle is my other favorite and I highly recommend it. Proportions are generous, whole food, flavorful, exotic dishes, they add new options on a regular basis, and they have good customer service and plenty of snacks and drinks. The downside of this service to me was I would order the newer dishes that came out in advance and they kept sending me the same things and not what I ordered without any warning. I felt like I was eating the same meals over and over with only 1 variation which wouldn't get fulfilled half the time despite it not being sold out when I chose them. The other thing is it's very expensive when compared to the two above and in general. Also, they use plastic for their containers (but deliver locally in reusable insulated bags) which might get recycled at your local facility but might not. The gel packs they use to keep everything cool are a minimal pain to cut open squeeze out, clean, and dispose of the plastic, but still a pain.
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef That's awesome to hear! Thank you for letting me know and for sharing your review as well :) I just got another Veestro delivery today. Every month they've had major discounts like you mentioned. I think I got $60 or $80 off this last order!
I wanted to like Daily Harvest. I'm a super strict WFPB Vegan and Daily Harvest's ingredients are so amazing but they are SO expensive and their portions are toddler size. I'm a volume eater and yeah they're never going to work for me.
Hi thanks for your reviews I tried purple carrot meal delivery for years but got bored with the non creative menus I'll have to try something new thank you again
Thank you for doing a review on these companies I haven’t tried either of them but this was helpful to know I’m a little disappointed in the macros bc I wouldn’t want to have to still meal prep proteins if I’m ordering meals for less prepping I’m not vegan but would like to incorporate more higher protein vegan meals etc
I have ordered from Veestro before - there were just a few options with enough protein and not too many calories ;). It's funny - the quinoa kale salad was my favorite (but definitely had to season it!). I think this would be a great business venture for you - high protein, low cal vegan meal service!!
Ive had the same experience with daily harvest...I mean awesome ingredients/flavor but lacking in protein im always adding tempeh or tofu etc and with some Im even adding rice or some other carb so its like ok at this point with the cost I just cant say its great long term. Its nice to see the veestro review because I have seen the ads for them but never tried. Purple carrot is nice but a little different in that you make the meal yourself but still kinda fun
I have tried Veestro before, I liked them ok. Went grocery shopping today and found Purple Carrot in the frozen section with greatacro options! I was so excited, haven't tried them just yet. Thanks for all your great content. I have learned so much from you!
These are the same problems here local. We have a company called Territory. The meals are good however the carbs are through the roof and the protein is very low. I let them know because they target and deliver at crossfit gyms, but don't really appy the macro needs for Vegan options
Nice to catch up. I live in New Zealand and there is vegan company that does meal delivery. They have meals up to 800 calories and 40g protein. I couldn't do 300 calorie "meals".
Thank you for this! I've been curious. I was recommended to check out Fire Road, but I saw they were a little pricey and higher in fats? I want to look again but they were supposed to be a macro friendly option for athletes 🤷🏼
How do you handle sodium? The reason why I asked is that I have been searching nonstop for a meal delivery that has low sodium content and it seems like all these meal delivery has A LOT. I just recently ordered a daily harvest and I was thinking about the same add some proteins to it.
@K B I have also been searching for meal delivery services and I haven't found one that checks all of my preferences but what comes to mind for low sodium is: LeafSide they are shelf stable WFPB and SOS free; Mamasezz WFPB no oil or sugar they keep it low sodium but also have versions of no added salt; and Sprinly they also claim to be low sodium. But I haven't ordered from any of them, so I can't remember how they do with the macros, but I was thinking to just add my proteins at home. Hope this helps and would love to know if you guys have found other alternatives!
I was...That's a snack box though. Yes, highly recommend. Unfortunately, they stoped making them a while back, I think the vegan strong team is planning on bringing them back in the near future.
Daily Harvest portion sizes were very low. I looked through their options and they all seem to be under 300 calories which may work for one meal a day, but if you need it for a full weekend on the run, that isn't enough calories for most humans. Veestro had a number of items also below 300 calories, but they did have items over 400 calories as well. So you can shop to get enough food with them.
Thank you, you are beautiful. God bless you, I love you and Jesus loves you even more. He can bring you joy, peace, hope, a fulfilling life and eternal life . Do you know God and Jesus Christ?❤
Hi Natalie! I've tried a few myself...so far my favorite has been Fresh N Lean. I bet if you contacted them they'd work with you to create a meal plan just right. Here's their website: www.freshnlean.com/menu/
