If you’re always on the go like me, you probably don’t have a lot of time to cook or even get to a grocery store (like seriously, who has the time?) But my busy schedule and diet of takeout was taking a toll on my health and leaving me feeling sluggish, as well as putting a major strain on my wallet.
Thankfully, I found a solution and because busy girls don’t gatekeep, I’m going to let you in on my new-found secret that will set you up for hot girl summer. One word – Thistle.
To give it a try, I started my subscription with just two days worth of delicious, ready-to-eat meals from this plant-forward meal delivery service and I cannot believe what a difference it’s made. Here’s why:
Meals so delicious it feels unhealthy
Starting off strong on Thursday morning, I grabbed my breakfast and lunch, tossed it in my bag, and was on my way. During my morning commute, I enjoyed my breakfast on the go, indulging in a Pitaya Smoothie with Coconut Hemp Granola. The super bright smoothie made of dragonfruit, chia, and other tropical fruits is topped with crunchy coconut hemp granola, which made it taste like a dessert.
Usually, I skip breakfast and end up ravenous and cranky when lunch rolls around. But not today! My breakfast smoothie kept me full throughout my busy morning, something I hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Actually large portion sizes with yummy, filling food
For lunch, instead of trudging downstairs to buy an overpriced basic salad that would inevitably leave me unsatisfied, I was able to stroll over to the fridge and indulge in the Agrodolce Salad with Herb Cannellini Beans. The crunchy salad mixed with the delicious, whole ingredients as well as the tangy dressing makes for a perfect combination.
The portion size was so generous, that I was able to save some for a mid-afternoon snack. Coupled with my Intense Greens juice, I’m able to stay full and keep my energy high to get through my day.
More convenient and nourishing than takeout
When dinnertime rolls around, instead of the usual routine of ordering takeout that will make me feel inevitably bloated and guilty, I grab the Crunch Thai Peanut Bowl with Chili Lime Adasha and go to town. The creamy sauce mixed with the tangy noodle mix makes for an incredibly satisfying cap-off to my day of delicious food. And, with all the added hidden fees that these delivery apps charge these days, it also saved me money!
Feeling refreshed and ready for the day
Friday morning, I wake up feeling refreshed, almost like I’ve gotten 2x the amount of sleep I would normally get, and am ready to take on another day of healthy eating. Breakfast is a Chunky Monkey Smoothie that is thick, delicious, and almost tastes like ice cream. And lunch, which I munch on between meetings, is a Sweet Potato Carbonara with Garlic Roasted Broccoli, and boy is it delicious.
Before I know it, the day is over and I’m headed out – sipping on my Rooted Orange juice keeps me sustained and my energy high until dinner time, which is an Enchilada Bake with Adobo Pinto Beans.
Seriously hooked on this high-energy food
As I sit on my couch and indulge in my dinner, I can’t help but wonder where has a service like Thistle been all of my life? After just two days of delicious, healthy meals, I am seriously hooked. I’m feeling better, have more energy, and don’t feel bloated from the normal takeout I get.
I can’t remember a time when I actually felt like I had a well-balanced diet that actually tasted good and kept me full. Thistle has changed the meal-prep game for me and I’m never looking back!
