Thistle has been the perfect solution… Thistle has been the perfect solution for me. I was trying to eat the 30+ plants/week to make my microbiome happy. My grocery bills were high, I threw out a lot of food, and I was about to give up. Then came along Thistle. I spend less on Thistle than I did on groceries. The food is not only nutritious, it's delicious. I tried a couple other services -- and they literally sent me ultra-processed ingredients -- what I was trying to get away from! I'm very grateful for Thistle!

Quality of Food and Service CUSTOMER SERVICE: The several times I’ve contacted customer support, the issues have been promptly resolved. Some of those issues have been delivery-related; others have been user error with the website. However, my concern re: customer service is that it is challenging to contact the company on a non delivery-related issue. FOOD: For the most part, I’m satisfied with the food options, particularly the wide range of low sodium options. Still feeling my way around the menu to determine where my food preferences best align. For example, while I like the way many of the dishes are seasoned, I’ve discovered that I’m not all that fond of the salads that use beans as the main protein source.

Good food! Not good packaging. We enjoy the food a lot! It is certainly healthier eating than we’ve had before, and it’s made vegan cuisine an easier transition for us. However, I’d like to reiterate what was said below re: packaging. While I understand these things take time, Thistle has been promising reusable or compostable packaging for years with nothing yet. We were hopeful the “big announcement” this month had to do with new packaging, but were disappointed when it was only a branding shift (what are they doing with the old “reusable” delivery bags, btw? Trash?). Our town won’t accept the packaging for recycling (only the salad jars), so this is a lot to throw away. We’ve made a commitment this year to lessen our imprint, and unless the packaging changes soon, we will be phasing out our use of this service.

overall great lunch option consistent and accurate deliveries. reasonable variety. food is always fresh. Overall, a great option to guarantee clean eating for 1-2 meals per day. I order lunches for the entire work week and feel great about improving this aspect of my diet.

Thistle has made life so much easier… Thistle has made life so much easier and I've lost about 15 lbs. I've been using Thistle for over 3 months now for our dinners and occasionally for lunches and both my husband and I enjoy the meals and the healthy ingredients. It's been worth every penny for us. My only issue is the plastic packaging. So I'm looking forward to when they're able to figure out a more sustainable option.
