The ULTIMATE Vegan Meal Service Review (40 Meals Tested!)

[@RedZeptic]

production quality, and the content, 10/10 this channel is underrated!

[@TheVeganGym]

Thank you so much, glad you're enjoying the channel!

[@susanfoley3018]

Thank you for sacrificing your meals and money so the rest of us don't have to. When I first went plant based, I simply put BBQ sauce on everything until I got bored 6 months later: beans, salad, stir fry, etc.

[@TheVeganGym]

Glad the video was helpful! Your BBQ sauce phase is relatable. 😀

[@TJ-ow1jo]

Thanks for taking the time to do this I learned a lot.

[@TheVeganGym]

Glad it was helpful! 🙂

[@VeganWellnessTribe]

I really appreciated the cut to Adam Sandler “mama say” 😂

[@TheVeganGym]

😂😂

[@kogbechie123]

Awesome video as usual! My question is what do you do with the rest of the food you leave out? You can always send leftovers my way 😜

[@TheVeganGym]

We definitely had some leftovers for ourselves after this! 🤣

[@nikisawyers7559]

You’re supposed to add salt fellas (daily harvest). They can’t salt everything because some people can’t have it.

[@mistyespinosa1231]

SAMEEEEE on the Purple Carrot!!! Twice now I have eaten something that was off and bad and tasted like Soap! The second time it made me extremely sick!!!

[@TheVeganGym]

Not great! 🤢

[@kiannathe1]

They sent me a molded item in one of the meal kits. Never again :(

[@RealKaliFontanilla]

This video is incredible! So helpful!

[@TheVeganGym]

So glad it was helpful you! 🙂💚

[@gregsargent4991]

Great review video! Thanks guys!

[@TheVeganGym]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@daniellejolib]

Thank you! I feel as though these portions are smaller than what I'd eat. I appreciate your input and video

[@TheVeganGym]

Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! 😄🌱

[@violetblythe6912]

Uh oh I’m a little scared of my upcoming purple carrot order now 😂 I’ve used their meal kits (that your cook yourself) off and on for a long time and really like them, but since I’m a student rn and have almost no time I thought I’d give the ready meals a go. Hopefully the ones I get are better than the ones you guys tried 😂 The meal kits are delicious though!! Would still recommend trying those even if the ready meals aren’t good. I always found them to be flavorful. Also you can customize the kits to add more spices or salt if you wanted.

[@TheVeganGym]

That's great to hear that you enjoyed their meal kits! 🙂

[@debbiepalmer1094]

Very interesting thanks. I would be hungry after loads of these meals, such small portions, I guess when you cook your own food and add loads of veg you get much bigger portions for the same calories.

[@TheVeganGym]

Very true, Debbie! Most of these portions felt very small. Thank you for watching! 😊

[@nicolescats2]

Part of it is that some people want vegan food not for veganism reasons but for diet reasons. Part of it is that flash frozen veggies aren't that cheap in the US (fresh veggies can get expensive as well), add in trendy expensive ingredients, and you would risk giving your customers sticker shock if you sold bigger portions. At least the splendid spoon company learned that your overpriced food has to have some flavor to it for most people to be willing to receive such tiny bottles and bowls. Even if that flavor bumps up the price a bit or shrinks the portion shipped, the market is incredibly crowded and you need to differentiate yourself.

[@emcduffie916]

Thanks for doing this review. Taste and portions matter so much. It would have been a shame to waste money on food that doesn’t provide that. Seems like there is quite a long way to go when it comes to the vegan meal delivery options. Any ideas on how to fill the gap with these companies?

[@kimharding2246]

I never knew Purple Carrot had heat and eat meals. When I subscribed, it was more like Blue Apron, where they send you all the ingredients and recipe cards and you cook the meal. Only the fresh produce they sent was so marginal to bad, that I had to go grocery shopping to get the needed veggies. Kind of defeated the purpose for the cost, right? I tried Veestro for a while and was pretty happy, but I think I enjoy my own cooking best. It’s actually cheaper and tastes better.

[@TheVeganGym]

These are great options for those limited on time, but your own cooking rocks! 🙂

[@arizonanative7409]

I realize this wasn’t a comedy routine, but I laughed a lot! Thanks… 😂

[@ziglol]

Thanks for doing this! Couldn’t agree more with your Trifecta review lol. I tried them for a month and just couldn’t do it. Every meal tasted horrible.

[@TheVeganGym]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@NatuProg]

I would recommend when you’re microwaving meals that you’ve purchased that come in plastic containers that you remove the items from the plastic containers for your personal welfare. It’s better to microwave them on your own plate or in your own bowl if they come in a plastic container.

[@TheVeganGym]

Thanks for the tip! 🙂

[@xuzadem]

I just got my first order from fresh and lean definitely should've watched this video first 😅

[@TheVeganGym]

Haha hope everything turned out well with it!! 😃💚

[@xuzadem]

@@TheVeganGym taste isn't to bad only issues I'm noticing is low protein and low calories

[@daniellejolib]

I ordered their non vegan meals for my boyfriend and it wasn't appealing, at all. The food looked gross and he hated the flavors.

[@tinaksmithrn]

Just ordered Splendid Spoon and gave them your names!

[@TheVeganGym]

That's awesome! I hope you like it! 😊

[@pavneetkaur4163]

Would love to see thistle and mosaic reviews

[@TheVeganGym]

Thank you for the feedback, if we do another video, we'll have to look into those brands! 😊

[@stevensantora2976]

Great video. Thank you so much.

[@mistyespinosa1231]

Y’all should look at the vegan options with Factor.

[@TheVeganGym]

Thank you for the suggestion! 😊

[@kelalamusic9258]

I appreciate this video. What bothers me about these meal service companies is the portion size. More suitable for a woman’s appetite. Why don’t these companies keep this in mind and offer up meals of at least two portion sizes.

[@TheVeganGym]

Yep, I totally agree with you!

Garbanzo Beans Rule!

[@nikisawyers7559]

Most garbanzos (chickpeas) are contaminated with glyphosate. Feel free to look that up if you care about consuming carcinogens. If not, carry on, and enjoy.

[@annarivera2142]

I like a combo of vegan and pescatarian so Factor 75 works for me since they have a limited vegan selection

[@lefluffmuffin1953]

Tamarind surely is a taste that you need to like.. if you don't know it, it can throw you off like it did to them 😂😁

[@lefluffmuffin1953]

Need to take that back, they like the other tamarind dish so it is something weird about purple carrot food

[@RaisingUp-pf6vj]

THISTLE is Very GOOD you should try it

[@TheVeganGym]

Thank you for the tip! 🙂💚

[@Rearick1990]

Problem with splendid spoon is they mess up your order literally every week. It’s sad because their food is so good and healthy but they royally messed up every week

[@TheVeganGym]

Hmm good to know!

[@Rearick1990]

@@TheVeganGym great video btw. My wife is vegan and I am a former vegan and I’m thinking about going back to the diet. We are looking for good options other than splendid spoon and this was very helpful!

[@michaels5705]

I'm with Leif, I'd rater cook myself, and I hate cooking.

[@TheVeganGym]

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate the control that comes with cooking your own meals, but meal services are a great time-saving option! 🌱🕙

Tamarind has a strange taste

[@nikisawyers7559]

Nobody wants to eat that nasty ass packaged-in-plastic crap. “Fresh n Lean.” Yeah no thank you that looks bad.
