OK, mamas, it’s truth time: Raise your hand if you can’t remember the last time you prepared a home-cooked meal.
Anybody?
If you’re anything like us, these days, you’re finding it increasingly difficult to spend hours meal prepping and cooking like you used to. (Or maybe you never did… we don’t judge).
We blame the pandemic. I mean how on earth are we supposed to think about food shopping and cooking healthy meals for our families when we’re juggling more than ever. Full time jobs complete with nonstop Zoom calls, crazy kids and toddlers with virtual learning or without childcare… the list goes on.
And by now, we’ve made our way through every restaurant on GrubHub, UberEats and Door Dash multiple times. Let’s just say the novelty of having “cheat” food delivered daily has worn off.
So naturally, our next step was to check out healthy meal delivery services. And trust us, we tried many. Having healthy and delicious ready to eat food delivered to your door when shopping is scary and cooking is too time-consuming feels like a no-brainer. But after sampling several different dishes from various healthy meal delivery services, it became quite clear that they aren’t all created equal – particularly in the flavor department.
Luckily, though, we discovered a few great (and family-approved!) options. Our favorite? Splendid Spoon.
Splendid Spoon is the brainchild of Founder and CEO Nicole Centeno, who was particularly motivated to eat well.
“I started cooking vegan soups for myself when I was pregnant with my first son and struggling to find nourishment,” Nicole explains.
But Nicole quickly recognized a greater need for a healthy, plant-based meal service and set to work developing Splendid Spoon, which boasts a tasty menu of more than 50 ready-to-eat and 100% plant-based meals, including smoothies, soups and grain bowls. All of the meals are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and are low in sugar and sodium.
And trust us… they’re delicious. We love starting our day with one of their pre-made smoothies. The Dragon Fruit Berry and Blueberry Coconut smoothies are two of our favs.
Then for lunch and/or dinner, we’ll dig in to one of their delicious grain bowls. The Green Goddess Quinoa and the Cuban Black Bean bowls are unbelievable. And we cannot WAIT to try the Roasted Cauliflower Bowl.
“My hope is that our ready-to-eat, plant-based meal plans will help you reconnect to the power of good food, whatever your health goals may be,” says Nicole.
As far as we’re concerned, she’s done that and more. We love knowing that we’re staying healthy even when life is so busy, we can’t get to the store – or the stove, for that matter.
So how does it work? You choose from one of three plans, then customize your meals after checkout. You also get to indicate how often you want to receive your meals. You can opt for weekly, every other week or even once a month.
If you’re planning on sharing, we suggest considering the max amount of meals as often as possible… food this good doesn’t tend to last in our homes.
