Commentary - Food Review

We sampled a day's worth of food from this service. Our shipment arrived in the early morning, via Fedex, in good condition, with cold packs. Packages just need to be microwaved 2-3 minutes.

 Starting with breakfast (old fashioned oatmeal with dried fruit)...the oatmeal was tasty, with pieces of frit, cranberries and raisins mixed in.  The sausage tasted great and the apple slices were fresh and crisp. Very good. Lunch was a chicken salad with romaine lettuce (big leaves), tomatoes, chicken strips, tofu and edamame. All the ingredients were crisp and fresh. We just wish there was a little more chicken, and we weren't crazy about the taste of the oriental. dressing. So, we rate the salad OK. Dinner was a Mexican style steak tenderloin, with spaghetti squash and asparagus tips. Everything here was yummy. The steak was tender and delicious, the vegetables crisp and tasty.

Our dessert was s tropical brown rice pudding. This was very good, with an unexpected, fruity taste. Wish we had more. The last thing we sampled was a green detox drink. We don't know what was in it but it tasted better than it looked. We're just not big fans of detox drinks overall, as we think the benefits are dubious at best. For most people, the liver and adequate water provides all the detox functions one needs.

When you eat this company's food, you FEEL like you're eating healthy. The food looks and tastes appetizing.  The portions are adequate to satisfy you too. You definitely don't think it's "diet" food. One can lose weight on this plan due to the complete absence of carbs (at least for our day's meals).. All in all, we rate this company's food and service a two thumbs up!

Consumers used to all-you-can-eat buffets may be disappointed. A month's worth of meals (3 per day), 5 days a week, will cost you close to $1,000, incl. shipping - pretty pricey at an average $16 per meal. However, if you want the convenience of home delivery, plus quality organic food, we guess this is what you have to pay.
