GBGood 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.

GBSooooo worth it!!! They offer early delivery times multiple times per week, so meals aren’t sitting in the sun all day or wilting in the fridge for a week - perfect! The meals and snacks taste AMAZING! There is a great variety of options and ingredients, which was a nice surprise. Other meal delivery services we tried tended to use the same ingredients over and over, which quickly became monotonous. Thistle is our new favorite by far!! We loved everything we tried!

GBThistle 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.

GBDelicious 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.

GBLove 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.
