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 ❤️
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
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.
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
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!
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 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!!
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".
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!
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!
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 🤷🏼
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/
I hope you guys enjoy this review! I had a lot of fun making this video. What meal delivery service should I try next?
Splendid spoon
Nutrition for Longevity
Plantable
But veestro is my number 1! I order their food every week!
@@Fitnesstrainerjaziphe what's your favorite from Veestro? I'm in love with the soba noodles.
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 ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to reviewing more companies...I'll keep you guys posted.
220 calories is a snack, not a meal in my opinion. I’d like to see these companies make 2x the portion.
Thank you for taking your valuable time to make this video. Very helpful.

I totally agree! I'm a volume eater too!
It’s sad that most of the vegan options are so low in protein. If the meals were like 20g of protein, that would be good.
I know! I hope more companies try to get a lil bit more creative with their meals.
I love Natalie’s reviews!
I love doing review videos...they are so much fun!
Thanks for reviewing these. I've been curious how they were.
Glad you enjoyed it

@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef thank you love your channel!
So true they do not cater to us vegans. Also, I need more protein in my diet, I need to build muscle. Thank you so much for what you do!
That’s great that daily harvest has all these sides !!!

Great review! You should do Sakara next!

Yes, I was thinking the same thing!! Or Natalie consult with a company to get a line going :)
haha I'm not gonna lie, I have definitely thought about it.
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef You have the following, the chef background, etc!!!!
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef Please do it, I'd buy so quick
Yes @Natalie Matthews I would sign up so quick!!
What is the price I'm looking to eat anything that did not have a mother thank you
They do provide for vegans I'm just starting to go vegan now that I have more vegan meal delivery options
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

Do you have a discount code?

Please do megafit meals vs trifecta next! Used by a lot of bodybuilders
Thanks for sharing.... I'll look into it.
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef I saw Trifecta recommended by another vegan bodybuilding site so would be great to try!
you can change the delivery service to be every week or not its on the top right hand side of site
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 🤷🏼
Glad I could help! Interesting...I'll check them out. Thank you for sharing.
How do you add protein?
Definitely need high volume foods
ALL THE VOLUME! lol
Wow those look good!!!
Which ready meal service did you ended up going with?
Do you still get the vegan strong box as well? Would you suggest getting it?
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.
I hate meal delivery because of the packaging... a lot of plastic... being recyclable doesn't mean its going to be recycled. :(
Hi what salad dressing do you use
Awesome
Thank you
I would try it but I have to watch my sodium intake
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.
yeah like some meals that are 400-500-600 calories...my hubby eats like 3,000cals per day and there's minimum options for someone like him.
Daily Harvest is not even edible taste wise to me lol
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?❤

Thank you so much for sharing! George love Fresh & Lean...I'll have to give them a try myself.
