The Meals Are Healthy And Plant-Forward

Thistle’s meals are both delicious and incredibly healthy. Each meal (everything from breakfast to lunch, dinner, juices, and snacks is offered) is made from high quality ingredients and superfoods, and crafted by chefs under the guidance of nutritionists. All offerings are plant-based to start, though Thistle allows you to add meat if you choose. What’s not included? Dairy, gluten, refined white sugars, artificial sweeteners, artificial preservatives, additives, or dyes.

A Variety Of Flavors Keeps Things Interesting

Thistle’s chefs create a new menu – that is as gorgeous as it is thoughtfully curated – each week. Never boring, Thistle’s warm, satiating meals, pre-batched salads, juices and snack kits are designed to satisfy every craving under the sun. My first week subscribing to the service, I enjoyed everything from a Tropical Passionfruit Smoothie to a Chopped Refreshing Garden Salad, Preserved Lemon & Squash Bowl, Tofu Chilaquiles, Ramen Salad with Sesame Edamame, and a Ragu Pasta Bowl with Tofu Bolognese. If your mouth is watering right now…you aren’t alone.

Did I Mention They Arrive Fully Prepped?

Thistle doesn’t require any cooking whatsoever. On a mission to make getting and staying healthy accessible to all, Thistle delivers conveniently packaged ready-to-eat meals directly to your doorstep. For astronomically less than I would've spent on a week of delivery or takeout, I now had a house full of ready-made meals to look forward to.

Everything Is Delivered On Your Time

The service is insanely user-friendly. In addition to inputting your dietary preferences, I got to choose the combination of breakfast/lunch/dinner meals I wanted, plus the delivery cadence. I’m currently focusing on breakfast and lunch for the most part (and working on cooking my own dinners…slowly but surely) and have the ability to pause or cancel my subscription at any time.

You Taste And Feel The Difference!

While I’ve felt guilty in the past about the wastefulness and unnecessary plastics that other meal kits use, I was relieved to discover how much Thistle values sustainability. The brand operates out of a 100% carbon-free kitchen and uses containers that are recyclable, jars that are reusable, and delivery bags and ice packs that can be picked up and reused by Thistle. It’s truly the cherry on top of an incredibly delicious experience!
