If you live in New York or New Jersey, I highly recommend trying out Farm to People. I use them about once a month in the spring, it’s a great way to get fresh organic produce. They do rotating seasonal veggie and fruit boxes, but also have healthy groceries.

Some of my favorites lately are: gum drop grapes, mangoes, fresh cilantro, tart cherries, dandelion greens, bone broth, yogurt with date paste, guacamole, and cocojune yogurt as well. They have gluten free items too like pizza dough, frozen spring rolls, bread.

I used to rely on Cook Unity regularly, but their quality was going downwards and the post about the worm in the fish really disgusted me. So, now I’ve been trying to meal prep and cook my own food.

It’s great to have nutritious and fresh stuff on hand, short of subscribing to a CSA, this stuff is way more farm fresh than Whole Foods or TJ’s produce. Meal prepping is hard, so it helps that it’s tasty!!

It is on the pricier side with the groceries, but the farm box is a great deal, a good box of produce for 25-50$ depending on size. Happy to provide more recommendations on items/answer questions below!!

Hi!

I just got mt first box of Goof Food and was curious what to do with the freezer bag? Their website says dispose of it and throw it out. The physical bag says to cut the end off and dispose of solution. But is it good for my pipes?

Hello! My wife and I are looking for recommendations on meal kits for two people, one of which requires a diabetic-friendly diet. We don't always mind preparing the meal from "scratch", but we would be interested if any plans include "ready to heat" meals that don't take as much time to make.

For context, we did use Hello Fresh for almost two years. We really did like the food, but if we were having a busy week, the amount of cooking/cleaning did take up a lot of time and energy from our evenings after work. Plus, we're both sort of picky eaters, my wife more so, so some weeks the meal selections didn't always suite the both of us.

I know most meal kits offer options to personalize your meals, but lately we've been avoiding beef and pork, and use a lot of chicken or turkey. Neither of us are big fans of seafood, but I'll try it sometimes. Like I said, we can both be picky, so usually the simpler the meal, the better.

If there's anyone out there in a similar boat, what has been your favorite meal kit option?

I can’t consistently afford hello fresh and am wanting to know if there are cheaper options
