What Happened When I Ate Daily Harvest For a Week Straight

Trying Daily Harvest for a Week

I decided to try eating Daily Harvest meals for a week to see if these premade, plant-based frozen foods could fit into my busy lifestyle. While prepping and cooking wholesome meals can be time consuming, I want to nourish my body with natural, unprocessed ingredients.

The Delivery Process

Ordering from Daily Harvest was simple. I browsed their menu online, choosing a variety of harvest bowls, chia bowls, lattes, sundaes, and scoops to try throughout the week. The food arrived frozen at my doorstep in a refrigerated box.

Enjoying the Meals

I appreciated Daily Harvest’s use of organic produce and ingredients free from artificial flavors or preservatives. Their harvesting process preserves nutrients quickly by freezing ripe produce at peak freshness. Each meal took just minutes to prepare by blending or heating on the stove.

My favorite items were the coconut chia bowls and the ginger and greens smoothie. The lattes also provided an energizing afternoon pick-me-up. While tasty, some items were a bit high in sugar and low in protein to keep me full during busy days.

The Verdict: Some Hits and Misses

Eating Daily Harvest meals for a week offered some conveniences but also limitations. I loved gaining back time usually spent meal prepping and enjoyed their innovative flavors. However, the plans lacked customization for things like dietary needs or allergies. I also missed the satisfaction of preparing wholesome meals with ingredients sourced myself.

While delicious, Daily Harvest’s premade plans would be unlikely to keep me full and nourished long-term without balancing them with my own home cooking focused on vegetables, healthy fats and proteins. But enjoying them occasionally could be a nice way to simplify busy weeks!
