We Tasted the 6 Best Organic Meal Delivery of 2024

“Daily Harvest is a convenient and time-saving way to round out your diet with more vegan-friendly, organic, and gluten-free snacks and meals. Most meals were pretty flavorful, but the portion sizes were small and not very filling. Therefore, I would recommend using it alongside other meals or snacks to help round out your diet.

“For the most part, all items are easy to prepare and are generally very tasty. Though I found that the harvest bowls didn’t maintain their texture well after reheating, and smoothies can be challenging to fully blend.

“Many items are relatively low in protein, so it might not be filling enough for some people. However, Daily Harvest is affordable, offers a good variety of items, and has a flexible ordering process, so it’s easy to try different items to find what works for you.

“I think Daily Harvest could be a good fit for people interested in stocking their freezer with a few vegan and gluten-free snacks to enjoy between meals. It could also be used as a supplement for a healthy diet or ordered to have some easy lunches on hand when you’re short on time.”

Anne Arntson also tested Daily Harvest’s plant-based meal delivery service. Anne, who has followed a mostly plant-based diet since she was 8 years old, was excited to try the service because of its focus on fresh, organic ingredients.

She found the variety impressive, noting, “I was shocked by the number of delicious-sounding (and plant-based) options that Daily Harvest offers. I had a difficult time choosing which meals to try because so many of them sounded good.” Arntson also appreciated that all the meals are gluten-free, which wasn’t immediately obvious but a nice surprise.

Daily Harvest’s frozen meals stood out to Arntson for their convenience, especially during a heatwave, as she could avoid time in the kitchen. She loved the ease of simply blending or reheating the meals.

However, she did note that some meals require additional kitchen equipment or ingredients, like broth for soups or a blender for smoothies, which may make them less ideal for people wanting a complete grab-and-go option.

Arntson found the frozen meals to retain good flavor and texture, stating, “The fruits and veggies had good flavor. Nothing was mushy or tasted like typical frozen food.”

Some of her favorites were the Mint + Cacao Smoothie, the Shiitake + Spinach Grits, and the Mango + Passion Fruit Pops. She described the grits as “very savory — with an umami-like blend of spices — and just had an overall warm flavor.”

However, Arntson found some dishes lacking, like the Bell Pepper + Cilantro Flatbread, which she thought needed more seasoning and had an off texture. Overall, she felt that the service was worth the price for certain standout items, though she would be selective in her future orders.
