We've all been taught to get 8 hours of sleep a night and 3 meals a day plus snacks, but even with spending more time at home, it can be impossible to get into those routines.
Unless you spend time every day preparing and cooking your own meals, it's likely to stray off course from a healthy schedule. And that's okay!
Sometimes we wish we could check out and have our meals delivered….so, we actually looked into it.
For easy, healthy meals, our editors looked into a few different meal delivery subscriptions, and settled on Splendid Spoon as the ultimate one to try.
Splendid Spoon Overview
They specialize in plant-based smoothies, soups, grain bowls, noodle bowls, and even immunity shots delivered right to your door. Everything is ready-to-eat and they have really positive reviews.
Our staff is pretty diverse, so everyone found something different to enjoy.
Here's what we each liked about it and why:
The Workaholic
Eating Schedule: I like to get up early to get work in before I'm drowning in Slack messages, and I tend to eat lunch whenever I remember or have 20 minutes free between meetings.
Favorite Splendid Spoon Feature: No Prep
Experience: Should I be taking more regular breaks? My eyes say yes, but my inbox says no. I'm juggling a project at work right now that is my baby, so everything else gets reprioritized, including my lunch schedule.
Pre- Splendid Spoon, lunch was peanut butter on toast or boxed mac'n'cheese. Now? I love having access to fast, healthy options. Everything lasts for 2 weeks in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer, so I don't have to do extra planning on what to eat when. A quick defrost in the microwave is now all that stands between me and a really tasty and amazingly filling bowl of Veggie Bolognese or Cumin Sweet Potato Soap.
The Takeout Junkie
Eating Schedule: I cook maybe once a week and I'm on a first-name basis with the employees at my local deli, Chinese, sushi, pizza, and Thai spots.
Favorite Splendid Spoon Feature: Range of Foods
Experience: I grew up never eating takeout, so I'm a little rebellious and eat it constantly. It's always been so convenient and I hate eating the same thing all week.
I was convinced I wouldn't like Splendid Spoon, but they have such an incredible range of recipes and cuisines, I haven't been bored.
My favorites so far have been the Coconut Curry Rice Bowl, the Moroccan Lentil Soup, and the Mint Chip Smoothie, but they add new items all the time.
Plus, I know that their focus on superfoods and lower sugar and sodium counteracts all the sugar and salt in my diet from takeout, so I'm a big fan.
The Wannabe Vegetarian
Eating Schedule: I eat 3 meals a day and snack a bit in the afternoon, but whenever I try a new vegetarian recipe, I feel like I always need a snack later.
Favorite Splendid Spoon Feature: How Filling Everything Is
Experience: I've been trying to cut down on my meat and dairy intake, but what makes it difficult for me is getting enough protein in my diet without doing too much extra work.
With Splendid Spoon, I can get easy plant-based meals covered, that are actually filling. When I order vegan meals at restaurants, I usually need an entree and a side to leave full, but Splendid Spoon focuses on filling ingredients and delicious recipes so I'm not hungry or bored.
I don't miss meat at all with their Vegan Meatballs & Marinara Noodles or Mexican Tomato Chili. They also cover my entire day with smoothies for breakfast (the Mango Guava is incredible) or even dessert (hello, Chocolate Cherry). There are also so many superfoods like acai or quinoa for a balanced diet.
Final Thoughts
Splendid Spoon makes eating healthier so easy. Access to filling, plant-based meals can really change your day; you don't feel heavy, but you do feel energized enough to tackle those big projects.
Splendid Spoon has over 50 different recipes to choose from each week for their 4 plans. The lightest is just Lunch and the most robust provides Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner + a 1-Day Reset. It's super flexible for anyone's schedule.
