Rotten produce nightmare
This company is a disaster with fresh produce. They sent me boxes full of rotten stuff, and wouldn't let me cancel my order on time. The customer service was terrible, and the products were all disappointing. I wouldn't suggest anyone waste their money here.
First box was not what I ordered
I got my first box from this meal subscription service and I was really let down. Instead of the meals I picked out, all I got was a bunch of spinach and lettuce. Then to add insult to injury, I got an email right away saying another box was on the way next week, even though I clearly said I wanted them every other week. When I tried to get help from customer service, I could only talk through chat. The person I talked to kept saying I didn't skip a delivery, even though I showed proof that I did. It was a frustrating experience and because the company didn't seem to care about what I wanted, I ended up canceling my subscription.
Avocados
The avocados I bought were always too hard to use, and by the time they finally ripened, the other vegetables had already gone bad. I'm thinking I might just switch to using guacamole instead.
Meal quality and customer service
The food has been really good, with delicious and simple options. But, we did have a small issue with customer service when they didn't handle a missing ingredient as well as we hoped. It could have been a real pain if we didn't have a replacement on hand.
Meal kit delivery experience
I've had a mixed experience with those meal prep deliveries. The recipes were cool and really yummy, but some were a pain to make. It would be nice if they gave different instructions for folks who might be missing stuff like a blender, oven, or microwave. Also, figuring out how to reach customer service for any problems with my order or ingredients was tough. Other services make it easier to get help without having to hunt for contact info.
Meal kits with missing ingredients
We've really enjoyed the recipes and how easy it is to prep the meal kits, but we've had a few times where we didn't get all the ingredients we needed. Like one time we were making cauliflower steaks and there was no cauliflower in the package. We think there should be better quality control to make sure everything we need is in each meal kit.
Soy-free and allergens-free meals
I really liked the meals they gave me overall. They have a lot of different dishes which is awesome, but I wish they had more options that don't have soy or allergens. One time I got some gross yellow arugula, but the customer service team gave me a refund right away, no problem. I also like that I don't have to buy meals every single week or month, so I have more freedom to plan out my meals.
Meal variety and delivery convenience
I just tested out this meal delivery service that has a bunch of cool recipes with some quirky veggies. Their website was super easy to use, which made it a breeze to pick out my meals every week. The delivery was quick, and the packaging made it easy to figure out what ingredients went with each meal. I really liked how creative the recipes were and getting to experiment with new ingredients I don't usually use. But I gotta say, the pasta dishes were kind of meh compared to everything else they had.
Purple Carrot meal kit
Wow, I have to say, that meal kit was a complete disaster! The quality of the ingredients was so bad, and they didn't even send enough. Like, who only sends 1 tbsp of jam when the recipe clearly calls for 1/4 cup? And let's not even talk about the moldy and wilted veggies they sent. It totally messed up the whole meal. And on top of that, when I called to complain, they only gave me a tiny refund for the bad ingredients, didn't even refund the whole cost of the meal. I am never ordering from them again, that's for sure!
Delicious food, high prices
The food is delicious and they offer a lot of variety, but man, it's more expensive than other meal services I've checked out. The portions are awesome and the produce is top quality. I just wish there was more protein in every meal!
Subscription sign-up nightmare
I signed up for this new meal subscription service, and man, it was a complete disaster. Their website was a total mess, and let me tell you, their customer service topped it off with even more chaos. I was so pumped to start having delicious meals delivered right to my door, but now I want nothing to do with them. It's like they just don't give a dang about us customers. On top of all that, I've heard some rumors they're trying to sell our info - how shady is that? I wouldn't trust a company like that. Oh, and don't even get me started on trying to cancel my subscription - they're making it feel like they're doing everything on purpose to make it impossible.
Fresh ingredients, minimal packaging, filling recipes
I've been really impressed with the quality of the ingredients from this meal delivery service. The produce is always fresh, and I love that they use minimal packaging, it's better for the environment. What I love the most is that the savory recipes are so satisfying without needing bread, potatoes, or rice to make the meal feel full. They have a wide range of options that work great for my vegetarian and gluten-free needs, which is awesome. Overall, I'm really happy with the variety and taste of the meals.
Vegan meal service
Wow, I am so impressed with this vegan meal service! I've been struggling to find tasty vegan food options, but this service has really changed the game for me. I love that they offer a variety of meals, from ones you can whip up yourself (which are still super easy) to pre-made and frozen choices. And have you tried their "plantry" items? So good! The vegan cheese is amazing, and they have a bunch of different drinks and pantry staples that I can't live without now. It's awesome to have a service that caters to all kinds of tastes and preferences, making it a breeze to stick to a plant-based diet. I'm so glad I found this meal service - it's opened up a whole new world of cooking for me and helps me stay on track with my dietary goals.
Vegetarian meal kit
I really like the idea of the vegetarian meal kit and all the different options, but lately I've been having some problems with the quality of the ingredients. The produce they send has not been great - stuff like yellow cauliflower, wilted scallions, and sometimes missing radishes. They really need to step up their quality control when putting the kits together so we can get fresh and good ingredients.
Well worth the money
I really loved the recipes from this meal service. They were high quality and super easy to follow. I was pleasantly surprised that the meals were not only tasty but also simple to make and enjoy with my family. Even my dad, who is 78 years old, liked the meals. That made the whole experience even better!
Cooking kits
I never really enjoyed cooking, but these kits have changed that. Now I actually enjoy preparing dinner. The recipes are so simple to follow and fun to make. Plus, they taste so good and each meal feels like a special treat. I just can't seem to get enough of them!
Creative Vegan Meals
The food from this service is really something special. It's like going on a food adventure every time I dig in. The flavors are so intricate and the ingredients are top-notch, making each dish super tasty and satisfying. I used to have doubts about vegan meals, but now I'm totally blown away by how delicious they are. I never knew plant-based food could be this good!
Substitution issue
I had a problem with my order recently and it was a real bummer. The substitute they gave me wasn't what I wanted at all, and it felt like a total waste of money. I feel like they should let us know about substitutions ahead of time or give us the chance to say no thanks. It was so annoying to pay for something I didn't like and didn't even want.
Veggies Subscription Box
I've been subscribing to this veggie box for a while, and let me tell you, the produce is top-notch. I've experimented with vegan recipes and cookbooks, but nothing beats the convenience and flavor of these meals. If you're looking to try out some new plant-based dishes without the stress of hunting down ingredients, you gotta give this box a shot.
Frozen meal nutrition facts
I like the variety of frozen meals this service offers, but I was bummed to see that only the calorie content was shown before buying. I'm careful about how much sodium I eat, so it would be nice to see the full nutrition label before picking a meal. Some had crazy high sodium levels, like 1900 milligrams - that's like having a Chipotle bowl and a bag of chips together. I get that frozen meals usually have a lot of sodium, but I think it's important for customers to know exactly what's in their food before buying. If I could see the nutrition info upfront, I'd feel more confident about my choices and would probably come back as a customer. Until then, I might stick to restaurants where I can control my sodium intake better.
