Nutritional Value: Plant-Based and Nutrient-Richĭaily Harvest is an ideal meal service for individuals who consume plant-based diets or who just want to incorporate more fruits and vegetables. We found the flatbread to be the perfect size it was filling and satisfying, but not as rich in flavor as most flatbreads typically are. For a complete lunch or dinner, you may need to pair a soup and a bowl together depending on how hungry you are. Some portions were also on the smaller side, such as the oat bowl we tried. Some items definitely lean on the lighter side, such as the soup we tried-it was a flavorful broth with lots of veggies, but we felt it needed something more to be filling enough for a meal. We found this very satisfying and did not miss the added sugar one bit. Some of the sweeter items, such as the cherry and chocolate oat bowl, use natural sources of sugar and unsweetened cacao to provide a rich chocolate flavor without added sugar. In terms of flavors, the Daily Harvest menu offers a diverse range of internationally inspired dishes, often relying on herbs and spices or umami-rich ingredients instead of excess salt or fat for flavor.

For example, the grain bowls were flavorful but tended to be mushy in texture, like a porridge.Īlthough Daily Harvest is not certified organic, 95% of the ingredients are organic and identified as such on the labels. When reheated, the ingredients have a fresh flavor and are bright in color, but they may just be on the softer side due to the nature of the cooking process. The Spruce Eats / Abbey Littlejohn Flavor, Freshness, and Quality: Frozen, but Still FreshĪccording to Daily Harvest, all ingredients are frozen at their peak ripeness right on the farm, locking in ripeness, flavor, and nutrition.
DAILY HARVEST FOOD HOW TO
The Daily Harvest website has additional information on how to recycle specific packaging materials. The bowls were made of molded pulp and could be curbside recycled or composted. The box, item cups, and insulation surrounding the dry ice were all recyclable, and the lids could be recycled at most locations. The only plastic packaging that was found was the two dry ice bags and the films on the individual cups. The delivery box was packaged with almost entirely recyclable or compostable paper and cardboard products and minimal plastic packaging. In addition, there was a personal introduction to someone from the Daily Harvest Care Team, intended to act as a concierge service to help with upcoming deliveries or provide recommendations.

We also received emails that gave serving and prep suggestions for some of the menu items, reminders on how to compost or recycle packaging, and instructions on how to download the Daily Harvest app (only for iOS). Support materials are primarily delivered via emails after your first order is placed, but our box included a welcome pamphlet with the company’s background information, essentially the same as what appears on the About section of the website, with additional highlighted menu items for each meal occasion of the day.
