![]() It felt as if I'd tricked myself into eating a salad for breakfast. I wasn't sure how the greens would play with cacao and blueberry, but they mostly faded into the background. I mixed it with almond milk, as suggested, and it was like a healthy version of a Starbucks frozen coffee.Ĭhocolate blueberry smoothie with greens, organic banana and almond butter: I liked this one a lot also. Though the instructions on the cartons suggest using the microwave for bowls and some of the other Daily Harvest meals, I much preferred using a skillet or saucepan whenever possible.Ĭold brew, banana and almond butter smoothie: This is similar to a smoothie I make often at home and was excellent, perhaps my favorite smoothie of them all. Flatbreads just need a few minutes in the oven, for instance, while a Daily Harvest smoothie requires only a spin in the blender with almond milk, oat milk, cow's milk or water (they give you a suggested liquid to use for each) and the harvest and oat bowls are simply heated and mixed before eating. Many of the Daily Harvest soups, vegan ice cream and protein bites arrive ready-to-eat (or -heat), while the smoothies, bowls and flatbreads require very minimal prep. (Oh, and since it's all ready to blend or heat and eat, you won't actually have to slice anything.) How easy are Daily Harvest meal kits to prepare?Įxtremely easy. ![]() This is definitely healthy food, no matter how you slice it. While Daily Harvest food may technically be frozen meals, they are a far cry from the high-in-sodium, low-in-nutrient frozen dinners of decades past. If it's been a trending health food in the past decade - think avocado, kale, turmeric, matcha, kabocha squash - you can bet you'll find it in at least a few of Daily Harvest's creations. Daily Harvest smoothies, bowls, flatbreads and the rest all have one thing in common, and that's lots of healthy foods, superfoods, grains, fruits, vegetables, greens, beans, berries and nuts. ![]() You can also sort by flavor preferences, so if you don't like vanilla or sweet potato, for instance, you can filter out meals with those ingredients. You can easily filter the options by your dietary needs, including low-sugar options, and keto- and paleo-friendly meals. Selections change month to month, but many of the bestsellers are always available. There are also user reviews and ratings linked to individual Daily Harvest items, which I found helpful. The portable cups are designed for sipping on the go, so I put the smoothie back into the cup, popped on the top, and inserted a reusable straw.Ordering was simple and intuitive with all the information for each meal - nutrition, ingredients, culinary inspiration - readily available before you add to your bag. (My blender is strong, but it can use a helping hand with a slightly softer frozen pack.) Then, I'd pour it into the blender, and let the magic "smoothie" button go to work. I added the suggested liquid to the cup (typically, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut water), and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften up the ingredients. For the smoothies, I got into the routine of readying them as I was getting ready for the day. ![]() If I was looking for a heftier meal, I simply added some grilled chicken or seared tofu. Unlike many frozen meals, these aren't loaded down with salty sauces to mask subpar ingredients. Not at home near a stove? Even easier: You can warm them in a microwave. I emptied a cup into a warming skillet or saute pan while I did a bit of kitchen cleaning, and I let the heat do the work of thawing the vegetables and warming the sauces. It destroyed my excuse for not eating well-lack of time: Even easier than meal kits, the Daily Harvest Harvest Bowls are ready in under 10 minutes. ![]()
