I've been snacking so much lately. I wish I could say it's on fruits and nuts, but it's been whatever's around me at work or home, which is often random takeout leftovers, chips, or sweets.
Whenever I plan out my meals, I snack less, but lately I just don't have the time! I come home at night and scramble to get a meal for myself but then never have enough for lunch, so I have to buy it on-the-go…. It's an awful cycle.
I wish I could meal-prep, but I'm not that organized. I've seen the work that goes into it, and no thank you. So, I decided to sign up for a meal delivery service. Not a meal kit; I don't even have time for that. I wanted cooked filling meals right at my door.
I did some online research, surveyed some friends, and came across a plant-based one: Splendid Spoon. It had great reviews, but I figured the lack of animal products might make it less filling than some other ones. Still, I liked the focus on antioxidants and superfoods, so I decided to give it a try.
There are multiple different plans, from Breakfast + Lunch only to the Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner + 1-Day Soup Reset. I went for the bestseller, which was a 5 ready-made smoothies, 5 ready-made bowls, and the 1-Day Soup Reset. At only $7.66 a meal, it was a great deal! I selected my meals, super excited for a few of them.
My order arrived on dry ice with completely recyclable packaging. It was lunchtime, and I was hungry, so I went for the one I'd had my eye on: the Kimchi Fried Quinoa Grain Bowl. It had edamame, turmeric, tofu, and 90% veggie RightRice®; it's specifically designed as a protein-packed meal, so I'm excited to hopefully stay full for a while.

All I had to do was heat it and eat it. It was delicious! So flavorful, with amazing textures. This would cost me a fortune if I bought all the ingredients by themselves.
Later in the day, when I'd normally reach for candy or popcorn, I worked through the afternoon with no hunger distractions. No snacking!
The next day, I had the beautiful berry-hued Dragon Fruit Berry Smoothie for breakfast on the go. It had pineapple juice, chia seeds, raspberries, pea protein, and more. It's not high in sugar, and it's packed with amazing ingredients. I cannot believe you can get a smoothie this delicious and nutritious for less than $8.
Now that I take my meals with me, and I always know what I'm going to eat, I've completely cut down on my snacking. It's actually amazing.
I've also noticed that I'm satisfied because I'm getting so many flavors - the smoothies are a tad sweet, thanks to ingredients like coconut, mango, chocolate, and cherries, and the soups and bowls are super savory and diverse in terms of cuisine. There's classic Minestrone soup, along with Green Tomatillo Chili Soup or Mushroom Vegetable Bolognese.
Without having to think about my meals or staying satiated with snacks, I've noticed I can focus on work more, and I don't fall into too-many-jelly-bean comas in the afternoon.
If you want to get on a better eating schedule, but don't have time,want to meal prep or do a meal kit, Splendid Spoon is absolutely perfect for you.
