![]() Same critique with the oat bowls though, deceiving quantity and too expensive for what you actually get. I was not a big fan of the feel of the banana soaked overnight but the flavor was definitely there. I put chia seeds in my personal overnight oats but I had never had these many chia seeds in one place! It was actually not that bad. The taste was not that different from your average Campbell’s soup but it seems like you are getting less sodium in the cup which will ultimately be better for you.Ĭonfession: I had never had a real chia bowl until this point. I did give the hot soups a try and they were good. I did not try any of their chilled soups because honestly, that’s not my thing so it wouldn’t be fair to taste and review something I already know I am not into. I get it, overflowing cups are better to show your product but it leads to disappointment. ![]() ![]() It looks beautiful but it’s actually deceiving in terms of what the product looks like and the quantity served. reality comparison of the dragon fruit oat bowl. Further down this post, I included an expectation vs. Flavor and quantity were good for breakfast. These bowls are mostly oats and fruit, with whatever you decide to add (I did almond milk) and I’m not used to the consistency. I am used to making my own overnight oats at home with a base of yogurt. Ended up getting a small salad which resulted in me wasting more time and money. So there I was, still hungry at my desk thinking what I could do. It can’t be just me! When I am at home it’s more bearable since I will have other stuff available but when you bring a meal to work, you plan around it being successful. I had to bring my own microwavable bowl as it seems the cups are not microwave-safe, a little hassle but not terrible. ![]() I was thinking I could make a batch of quinoa to heat up and add to the bowls which I think is great, but kind of defeats the purpose of the whole ready-to-go cup. It was actually delicious but not filling enough, unfortunately. It looked like a really small quantity so I added spinach, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds. The first bowl I tried I heated in a pan at home. I am also including real images of what I got. I’ll break down my experience by type of cup because they each have their own pros and cons. It even tells you which cups are better for workout recovery, stress-relief, etc. Everything from ingredient explanation to a description of what it tastes like. Selections were good and Daily Harvest does a really good job of providing information about what you are about to get. I got a good starter deal, ended up being about $5 per cup, for 9 cups. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a good base for your meal, already prepped? She would make the harvest bowl meal at home, adding her own toppings and it made me reconsider. I had decided that it was not for me until I saw a food blogger, who is known for making her own recipes and doing lots of home cooking, try it and promote it with her own twist. Slowly but surely, I kept being targeted through multiple channels, you know how fun that can be. Given how much physical activity I get up to in any given week, I doubt that the meals are quite enough to meet my needs, but it seems like a good, healthy foundation that I can supplement.I probably first heard of Daily Harvest over a year ago. I also bike quite a bit and ski on the weekends. I'm a pretty serious runner (50-70 miles a week) and I rock climb 2-3 days a week in a gym, and outside when I can. Has anyone here tried it and is willing to give a real review? Is the food good or does it still taste like you are eating out of a freezer? What about calorie and nutrition content? For what you are paying, does it seem worth it? Is there another option (blue apron or hello fresh?) that I should consider instead? Daily Harvest seems like the one that most aligns with my usual lifestyle and tastes. Instead, I was thinking about trying a meal delivery service but I've never tried any of them. To buy everything I would need to actually use this kitchen (we're talking not just ingredients but pots, pans, utensils, storage containers, etc) would be very expensive and pretty wasteful given that I wouldn't be able to or even want to take the equipment back with me. I'm particular about ingredients and try to keep things as whole and natural as I can. There aren't good options around me - most of the restaurants lack healthy options and the nearest grocery store is several miles away.Īt home, I meal prep what are, in my estimation, really tasty and healthy meals. I'm having to take an extended work trip (like 1.5 months) and my employer has put me up in a hotel that has a very small, limited kitchen. ![]()
