Let me preface this by saying I do not consider myself to be a great cook. Without a microwave and toaster oven, I probably would have starved in college. If I wasn’t having snacks for dinner I was eating takeout or would occasionally use the stove to make pasta (fancy). But I needed to make a change, and decided to go vegan to focus more on my health. I was starting to feel better physically and mentally, but having healthy go-to meals was not easy and I still found myself munching on unhealthy snacks constantly (it may be surprising, but Oreos are in fact vegan).
Everything changed when a close friend recommended healthy grocery service, Hungryroot. I had tried meal delivery before, but found them to have too few options for dishes during the week, and some dishes took over an hour to prepare. While it can be fun to cook with friends or prep an extravagant meal occasionally, I just don’t have the time to commit to an hour of prep every night. Trying Hungryroot changed the way I eat and the way
that I look at cooking. I either order ingredients to make a full meal, or specific things that I want. For instance, I love the cashew cheddar sauce and eat it more than once a week, so I order a couple of those in each delivery. If I want to eat something new, I look at suggested recipes for new meals and give those a try. The best part? Each recipe is done in around 10 minutes, and only has 3-4 ingredients. The meals range in ingredients, flavors, and nutritional profiles so you can cook a healthy meal that suits your cravings, in barely any time.
I love Hungryroot because it can be whatever you need it to be. I feel like I can cook healthy and fun meals with a ton of variety and no stress. Overall, the food choices are constantly expanding, while my personal favorites are still available options. No matter your dietary preferences, personal tastes, grocery needs, or meal desires, there really is something for everyone.
