Thistle has literally saved my life This all has literally saved my life - literally. My husband and I both work intense jobs and we had a baby six months ago and since then our health is gone out the window with no time to cook. We wind up ordering GrubHub every night and I’ve gained weight and feel so unhealthy. it’s hard to find healthy takeout. I’m also vegetarian and he eats meat makes cooking even harder because I need to prepare two separate meals. Enter thistle and our life has changed. Now I could have dinner for both of us ready in less than 10 minutes. The meals are healthy, very veggie forward and super delicious. I often take a scoop out of mine to feed the six months old since the ingredients are so wholesome. Thanks again!

Love this food so much Love, love, love this food. It’s super expensive, but we stretch it out. I love that we have virtually no wasted food at the end of the week like we’d normally have with traditional grocery shopping. I have had issues with delivery, like items being in their sides so the dressings pop open, but customer service credited me immediately for the damaged items and flagged the account for extra care.

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.

Delicious meals that make going plant based easy. I have just gone through my first full day of meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack. Each af the meals was super tasty. I made a switch from eating meat, to a plant based way of eating and quite frankly after three days of cooking for myself I was relieved to find such a great PREPARED meal plan. I would never be able to achieve this level of variety on my own and am excited on how this will positively affect my gut biome. I also am glad that I am no longer contributing to the damage that mass animal farming is doing to our environment. I have seen comments about the expense. If you consider time saved and quality and variety of the ingredients, I think it is a pretty good deal. I may at some point start making breakfast, but for now, Thistle is making the transition from eating out a lot and eating meat to a completely plant based meal plan totally seamless and worry free.

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.
