Hungryroot: My Honest Review

Hello everyone,

You may have noticed that I’ve been a bit MIA lately. Well, my partner went back to work, I received a promotion which carries longer hours, and we got a kitten. So life’s been a bit hectic to say the least. I decided to be realistic about my new normal, and I registered for a subscription meal service. I had no idea that a plant-based meal service existed, but luckily for me, it does! What follow is my honest review of Hungryroot.

All of Hungryroot’s products are “vegan, gluten-free, high in nutrients, fiber, and good fats, and low in sugar, sodium and calories.” Hungryroot offers two subscription levels. The smaller version is called the Starter Set which costs $69 + free shipping. This package includes three meals plus four sides, snacks or sweets, or more meals and less sides. Essentially each item has a cost value and Hungryroot’s system will track how much you have left as you pick your items. The larger version is called the the Good Life which is $99 + free shipping and includes 1-2 more meals. You can customize your box or let Hungryroot pick what goes inside. I’m picky so I like to customize mine.

Kohlrabi Noodles

Each recipe contains two servings, and they are a very hefty portions. The meal kits range from Pad Thai Fried Rice to Creamy Corn Cauliflower Risotto to Thai Coconut Vegetable Curry. The bases of the meals vary from “noodle” or “rice” to a soup base. The “rice” is usually made out of cauliflower or broccoli, and the noodles are derived from beats, kohlrabi, or squash. I was skeptical, but the texture is actually really good. And the sauces honestly make the meals. They are low calorie, but so incredibly flavorful. I don’t know how Hungryroot does it, but I’m hooked—especially the peanut sauce!

Interested in trying Hungryroot? Here’s $30 off your first order! I tried them, loved the meals, and I haven’t looked back.

The best part of Hungryroot for me is that these meals come almost ready to serve. Most recipes simply require a short period of sautéing, adding additional ingredient packets, and mixing with water or sauce. Extremely easy! Plus, all of the meals/ snacks are under 500 calories which is great. I occasionally add tofu or beans to meals which might lack protein, but I find that most of the meals are well-rounded and filling.

I’ve used Hungryroot for about two months, and I don’t see an end in sight. It’s so nice not to worry about dinner four nights each week. I can’t even imagine how I was functioning before I started using this service. So, what’s your take? Have you used a meal delivery service? If so, which one, and do you recommend it?

Cheers and happy eating!

August Savings Round Up

Hello everyone,

How is August treating you? It’s the dog days of summer here, and I’m loving my air conditioning and cool evening walks. A few leaves have been falling, and I can’t help but feel giddy for the fall. And while most folks are preparing for “back to school,” I’m planning my next trip to Mexico City! In order to splurge while I’m away, I’m taking advantage of all the savings I found in my August Savings Round Up. Check out the full list of internet printable coupons, as well as, rebate apple savings below.

One of my most exciting finds was a rare Amy’s coupon for Buy 1, Get 1 on swirls, snacks or handheld items (like burritos) through 9/15/2018.

There is also a $1.00 coupon for Fieldroast products. I absolutely love their Apple Maple Breakfast “Sausage.” It tastes great chopped up in a tofu scramble for a spectacular weekend brunch.

Cheers and happy shopping!
