Daily Harvest Overview

Plans & Pricing

When you sign up for Daily Harvest, you pick how many items you'd like to receive per week (or per month). Items are priced individually, but you'll receive a discount if you order a medium or large box. Here are a few sample orders I put together to showcase pricing for a small, medium, and large box:

Small Box: Small boxes contain 9 items of your choice and are sent weekly. Shipping is free.

Medium Box: Medium boxes contain 14 items of your choice and are sent weekly. You'll receive a $10 discount and shipping is free.

Large Box: Large boxes contain 24 items of your choice and are sent either weekly or monthly (your choice). You'll receive a $20 discount and shipping is free.

You can fill your box with whatever items you like. (Want all smoothies? No problem.) Items are priced individually, as follows:

• Oat Bowls and Chia Bowls are $5.99 each.
• Smoothies, Soups, Bites, and Lattes are $7.99 each.
• Harvest Bowls, Scoops, and Flatbreads are $8.99 each.

ACTIVE DEAL: Use code ADDICTION40 for up to $40 off your first box
CODE: ADDICTION40

The price of your box will depend on which items you choose, but hopefully, the above sample orders give you a rough idea of pricing for the different sized boxes. If you order a variety of different items, you're looking at around $68.91 for a small box, $102.86 for a medium box, and $171.76 for a large box.

Daily Harvest ships to 95% of the U.S. Check to see if they deliver to you here.

Meal Categories

Daily Harvest has an impressive array of categories, so there's a lot of healthy food to choose from. Let's take a look at the different products on offer:

Smoothies: Packed with fruits and veggies. Just fill the provided cup to the top with your liquid of choice (water, milk, tea, etc.), blend, and enjoy.

Harvest Bowls: Full of beans, greens, veggies, seeds, and the like. Heat up on the stove or in the microwave.

Flatbreads: Made from whole grains and gluten- and dairy-free. Just like a frozen pizza, when you're ready to eat you just heat these in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.

When you order from Daily Harvest, everything is prepped, packed, and then frozen. Boxes are shipped with lots of dry ice to keep everything rock solid en route to your door. You can fill up your box with whatever items you like – you can choose all smoothies, all flatbreads, or a mix of different products. There are over 80 different menu items to choose from (25 smoothies alone), and everything is vegan and gluten-free. 95% of the ingredients are organic, too.

But what about the food? Is it good? I'm happy to report that it is! The flavor combinations are exciting, and the items are tasty. It's important to keep in mind though that this isn't your average meal kit subscription. (Read: don't expect large portions of stodgy comfort foods.) These meals are healthy and some items (like the soups) are a little on the lighter side. This is by no means a bad thing, but it's something to keep in mind when ordering. If you're a big eater or you're planning to use some of your meals for dinner, you may want to supplement with an additional side dish or salad.

If you avoid certain foods or have food allergies, you can filter the available items to see what works for your diet. Here's more info from the Daily Harvest site:

Daily Harvest crafts food and provides plans to seamlessly fit diverse lifestyles, preferences, and needs. We offer a variety of food that fits all types of flavor preferences and dietary needs. To find exactly what fits your dietary preference, visit daily-harvest.com/app/browse and filter based on "Dietary Needs" or "Likes and Dislikes." For example, we offer over 30 items that are nut-free. Please note that all Daily Harvest is made in a facility that processes dairy, nuts, soy, and gluten.

Like Daily Harvest, SmoothieBox is a delivery service that sends frozen ingredients for smoothies straight to your doorstep. The main difference? SmoothieBox sells smoothies, smoothies, and nothin' but smoothies. They're so focused, in fact, that they only offer 4 different varieties.

Plans & Pricing

With such a streamlined business model, SmoothieBox's plans are pretty straightforward. You'll just need to decide how many smoothies you'll receive in each shipment and which flavors you'd like. Let's take a look:

First, you'll need to decide whether you'd like to receive 20 smoothies or 25 smoothies. Shipping is free. If you order 20 smoothies, you'll pay $5.95 each. If you order 25, the cost will come down to $5.56 per smoothie. Each smoothie pouch will yield either one 16-20 oz smoothie or two 8-12 oz smoothies. The larger size is recommended for meal replacement, whereas the smaller size is perfect for a healthy snack or post-workout boost.

You're welcome to order a mix of flavors, or you can fill up your box with your favorite. Totally up to you.

When you've reached the checkout page, your final decision is whether you'd like to place a one-time order or sign up for a monthly subscription. If you sign up for recurring shipments, the cost comes down pretty significantly.

SmoothieBox ships to the lower 48 U.S. states. (They don't currently ship to Alaska or Hawaii.)

The Food

Smoothies are the one and only offering here, and the menu is extremely focused. You'll find a green smoothie, one made with cacao, an orange-focused blend, and a twist on the classic strawberry banana. Let's take a look:

Berry: "The perfect blend of strawberries and wild blueberries to give you a natural energy boost each day."

Cacao: "Cacao supports gut health with nourishing fruits and vegetables like kale, bananas, and zucchini."

Green: "Support your immune system with delicious ingredients like pineapple, spinach, and avocado."

Clementine: "Reduce inflammation post-workout with ingredients like mandarins, sweet potato, and carrots."

When you order from SmoothieBox, you have the option of adding grass-fed collagen peptides. Here's a little bit about collagen from SmoothieBox's website:

As you probably know, collagen is great for your hair and nails. It also supports a healthy gut and maintains bone and joint health.*If you feel your skin, hair and nails could use a little extra help then adding collagen to your smoothies is a great idea.

It's important to note that there's a disclaimer on the site stating that these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and collagen is one of these ingredients that may or may not be as beneficial as some would like to believe. Adding collagen to your order is optional, and it costs $20 for 350 grams. (Important to note: this collagen is sourced from cows, so it's not vegan-friendly.)

When you receive your first box, you'll see that the ingredients for each smoothie are frozen and packaged in a little bag. The ingredients are grown to meet non-GMO requirements, but SmoothieBox has not pursued a non-GMO certification. To make your smoothie, you'll just dump the contents of one of the bags into the blender and add 7 oz. of your favorite liquid.

So what about the taste? Well, it's important to remember that these smoothies are made with no preservatives and added sugars, so if you prefer a sweet, fruit-forward smoothie you'll probably prefer the berry or clementine flavors. Alternately, if you prefer a green smoothie, you'll likely want to opt for the green or cacao, the two flavors made with leafy greens.

If you have food allergies, here's what you should know about potential allergens:

The main allergen in 2 of our smoothies is coconut (Berry and Clementine). All of our smoothies are made from ingredients that are free from dairy, gluten, soy, and eggs. They are also free from added sugar, sweeteners, or fillers. Our smoothies are produced in a facility that also processes wheat, tree-nuts, dairy, egg, and soy.

You'll find a full list of ingredients for each product on SmoothieBox's website.
