Thistle offers a convenient meal delivery service with fresh, healthy options for every meal of the day, including snacks and desserts
New York: If you think eating your veggies is a drag, you haven’t tried Thistle. I’ve given it a go, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer!
I’ve tested over 20 meal kits in four years, and Thistle stands out. It’s not just a meal kit; it’s a full-on food delivery service. They send fresh meals right to your door, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even healthy desserts. Yes, you heard that right—healthy desserts!
Now, I get it. Salads and bowls aren’t everyone’s jam. But after a week with Thistle, I think it can work for anyone wanting to add more veggies and whole grains to their meals.
Thistle is more like a daily food delivery than a traditional meal kit, and I loved that. They offer a full spread for each day, including weekends. You can swap meals for allergies or personal taste, and you can even add extra snacks or drinks. Plus, you can schedule more deliveries during the week, which is a nice touch that other services often miss.
Just a heads up, Thistle isn’t available in every state yet, so check your ZIP code first. But where it is available, ordering is super easy. You get real-time delivery tracking, and the packaging is eco-friendly. When your next order arrives, just return the cloth bag to the delivery person. Simple!
Now, let’s talk prices. Thistle is on the pricier side compared to other meal kits, but when you think about the quality of fresh ingredients and hand delivery, it’s pretty reasonable. Meals start at around $16 for vegan options and go up from there, depending on what you choose.
While the menu isn’t huge, Thistle nails freshness and flavor. You get daily options for meals, and they cater to allergies and preferences. Most meals are salads or bowls, but they also have snacks and drinks that are just as tasty.
Some of the meals I tried included a Pitaya Smoothie, Persephone’s Salad, and a Peanut Butter Mousse Cup. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the dressings really made the salads pop.
Thistle’s packaging is also a win. Each meal is labeled with the day it should be eaten, making it easy to organize your fridge. I ordered meals for Sunday through Thursday, so I could just grab and go without worrying about wasting food.
In the end, Thistle was a fantastic way to get my greens in without any meal prep. It’s perfect for someone living alone, and I could easily take meals to work. Just keep in mind, if you’re looking for burgers or other cuisines, you won’t find them here. Thistle focuses on healthy meals, so if that’s your thing, you’ll love it!
