Review of Splendid Spoon Meal Subscription

September 17, 2020

Review of Splendid Spoon Meal Subscription

This article was last updated September 17, 2020.

In the last few months since the pandemic started, I’ve noticed that more and more people are turning towards meal subscription services — did you guys notice that too or is it just me? There’s just something so attractive about the convenience, structure, and even flavor adventure of subscription boxes – especially when going out may not be an option! And to be honest with you, I’ve gotten a few meal subscription myself on weeks I know I’ll be extremely busy and on the go!

Today, I’ll be sharing with you my first experience with Splendid Spoon. In case you’ve never heard of them before, Splendid Spoon is a fully vegan meal subscription service. I got my box about two weeks ago and now that I’ve actually tasted everything in the box, I thought it would be helpful to give my honest review of Splendid Spoon in case you’re looking into getting a box yourself. 

So without further ado, let’s get started!

About Splendid Spoon

Splendid Spoon is a healthy meal delivery service that caters to the vegan, plant-based, gluten-free, and non-GMO niche. Plus, most of their meals are also low-sodium and have no added sugar. However, unlike other meal delivery services where they send you ingredients and recipe cards to make your meals, Splendid Spoon offers ready-made food. According to their website:

“80% of our meals are eaten during those hectic “in-between” and “on-the-go” moments of life. Splendid Spoon solves for that with nutrient-dense smoothies, soups, and grain bowls that are delivered ready to eat.

Splendid Spoon offers ready-to-eat, nourishing, plant-based smoothies, soups and grain bowls. Our plans are designed to create healthy routines for breakfast and lunch, so you can reach your health goals. Each meal contains fresh plant-based, gluten-free, and GMO-free ingredients – all clean ingredients.”

How does Splendid Spoon subscription work?

Currently, there are four meal plans subscribers can choose from:

  • Breakfast: 5 Smoothies for $65 per week
  • Breakfast+Lunch: 5 smoothies, 5 soup & grain bowls for $95 per week
  • Breakfast, Lunch + Reset: 5 smoothies, 5 bowls, 5 light soups for $135 per week
  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner + Reset: 5 smoothies, 5 soup & grain bowls, 5 noodles, 5 light soups for $185 per week

Once you choose a plan, you’ll then get to choose the meals that goes in your box. As of this writing, Splendid Spoon has over 50 items subscribers can choose from, including:

  • Smoothies: “Low-sugar smoothies to sip for breakfast, in transit, or anywhere life takes you.” – 16 varieties
  • Bowls (Soups and Grains): “Vegi-loaded, delicious soups and grain bowls that take the stress out of “What’s for lunch today?” – 30 varieties
  • Noodles: “Noodle bowls packed with veggies and topped with good-for-you sauces. Healthy comfort food that’s ready in minutes.” – 6 varieties
  • The Reset: “Light soups designed to reset your digestive system in one day. It’s a day of self care in our favorite format: soup.” – 5 varieties
  • Wellness Shots: “Immune-boosting shots that provide a quick and easy dose of nutrients. Ideal for on-the-go.” – 2 varieties

My Honest Review of Splendid Spoon

Splendid Spoon Review: Delivery & Packaging

Currently, Splendid Spoon delivers to the contiguous United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Their delivery windows are restricted to Wednesday or Friday, and I received mine on Friday! My Splendid Spoon box came very well-packaged in its fairly large box. When I removed the insulated packaging, I was pleased to find that the smoothies, bowls, and wellness shots were carefully packaged and still frozen inside. And fun fact: all the Splendid Spoon boxes, bottles, and bowls are 100% BPA-free and recyclable.

Splendid Spoon Review: What I Received in My Box

Smoothies:

  • Mango Guava: This smoothie reminded me so much of my childhood in Indonesia, or any tropical country for that matter! Evan and I are suckers for mangoes, so we split this one and both enjoyed how creamy and perfectly fruity this was!
  • Strawberry Goji: Growing up drinking strawberry juice, I definitely appreciated how I can clearly taste the strawberry flavor in this smoothie. Plus, the addition of cashew butter and pea protein made it more filling than regular juice and balanced out the sweetness of the strawberries and goji.
  • Blueberry Coconut: While I like blueberries and I like coconuts, I am not a fan of how “textured” this smoothie is. As such, this was not my favorite smoothie – but my husband Evan (who doesn’t mind the whole chia seeds and coconut bits) did like it!
  • Dragon Fruit Berry: The flavor of this smoothie was somewhat underwhelming, but delicious nonetheless. I enjoyed this smoothie as a light morning snack and it really did give me that mid-morning boost I needed.
  • Mint Chip: I REALLY enjoyed this smoothie! As a huge mint chocolate chip ice cream fan, this smoothie delivered! And my favorite part about this is how much healthier this smoothie is vs my regular mint chip ice cream (duh!) Overall, I loved the thicker blend and do think it’s the more filling of the smoothie bunch.

Bowls:

  • Aloo Gobi Quinoa: Hands down our favorite bowl of this box. The combination of cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, and warming spices made this a very exciting bowl to have for lunch. I would totally get this again.
  • Vegetable Bolognese: This one was such a comforting bowl. All the flavors were reminiscent of regular bolognese, but without actual meat! Filled with quinoa, mushrooms, wild rice, carrots, cashews, and more – it was surprisingly filling!
  • Cuban Black Bean: I may be biased on this one, but I LOVE Cuban food and was glad to find this bowl filled with plantains, black beans, and brown rice! While I would’ve added a bit more salt, I enjoyed this bowl and wouldn’t mind a fridge-ful of these!
  • Green Goddess Quinoa: This bowl is part of Splendid Spoon’s brand new “Summer Collection” – and did I like it? YES! As the name suggests, this entire bowl is FILLED with greens – in a good way! The tangy tahini sauce paired so well with the assortment of vegetables, and the almonds and beans add a good amount of protein! Overall, delicious!
  • Kabocha Congee: This congee was the most interesting to me, mostly because I had only had traditional rice congee before. The addition of kabocha adds some protein in this meal and I was pleasantly surprised to find creamy, slightly sweet, and very filling!

Shots:

  • Detox Shot: I didn’t expect to like this shot, but guess what? This ended up being my FAVORITE! The Detox Shot is made out of apple juice, lemon juice, aloe juice, kale juice, moringa, and spirulina. While I expected this to taste like freshly cut grass, it actually tastes more like an apple lemonade! I would drink this everyday if I could!
  • Wellness Shot: Personally, I’m a huge fan of Splendid Spoon’s shots! This particular shot is made with Organic Orange Juice, Organic Lemon Juice, Organic Ginger Juice, Organic Oregano Extract, and Himalayan Sea Salt. I will put it out there that the ginger is quite strong, but if you’re like me and you actually like that, you’ll agree that this is a great “pick-me-up” shot.

Summary: Is Splendid Spoon Worth It?

Pros:

  • 100% vegan, plant-based, no sugar added, low-sodium, non-GMO.
  • Balanced meals of carbs, protein, and fat
  • Wide variety of meals and cuisines to choose from.
  • Pre-made meals make healthy eating convenient.
  • Sustainable packaging.

Cons:

  • The ultra-healthy ingredients and methods of preparation may result in underwhelming flavors to some people.
  • Higher price point at $9-$13 per serving.
  • No “a la Carte”options.

Splendid Spoon Review: Final Thoughts

Splendid Spoon is a super convenient way to kickstart healthy eating habits. With programs like these, busy people can eat healthy too! That being said, the two biggest hindrances I see to Splendid Spoon’s meal subscription boxes include the relatively high price and ultra-healthy flavors that may take some adjustments for normal tastebuds. BUT, if you’re already eating healthy and just want easy, healthy, and quick plant-based meals delivered to your doorstep, then Splendid Spoon may be a good fit for you!

complimentary from C.O. Bigelow Today, I woke up complimentary from C.O. Bigelow

Today, I woke up exhausted. And not just the “oh I could use 5 more minutes” kind of tired. But “whoa, I feel like I got hit by a truck” kind. So instead of pushing harder, I chose to rest.

How? I’ve been saving my PTO’s for months (seriously, I’ve worked so hard and was extra intentional about setting aside time), so I have the option to take the day off for days like this.

I’m thankful I have gracious supervisors who believe in the importance of getting things done, but also in a healthy work-life balance.

And here’s what I’ve learned: rest could happen anywhere, anytime (yes, including the middle of the work week!) But creating pockets of time to rest is so vital - this is God’s gift to us!

Could I have found an excuse to not rest in the billion things on my to do list? YES. But.. I chose to do so. The world will keep spinning, and today, I will have a slow morning. A time to refresh, a time to be reinvigorated.

Don’t be overwhelmed, it’s ok to stop. Really, I mean that. It’s healthy to our bodies, mind and spirit.

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28

So now that I’m awake, you can find me in under a mountain of blankets just slowly reading, sipping on some Chamba Broth, taking a long bath with @cobigelow #HerbalComfortSoak, baking something exciting with REAL vanilla beans later today, and most of all - being more present in the moment.

How are you slowing down today? And how do you find REST?

A good friend of mine from Kerala recently sent me A good friend of mine from Kerala recently sent me her recipe of their famous (and authentic) Kerala style beef curry. So naturally, I made the dish that very night.⁣
⁣
All I could say is “OH. MY. GOODNESS. This is SO good.” 🔥⁣
⁣
This easy Kerala style beef curry recipe takes less than an hour to make. And the result? Incredibly tender cuts of beef marinated in the most flavorful spices. Pair it with a bowl of fluffy, warm Basmati rice, and get ready because this beef curry recipe is about to BLOW YOUR MIND. 🤯⁣

SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING So my Winter @causebox FINAL SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING

So my Winter @causebox FINALLY arrived on Friday - and I am SOOO in love with everything in my box! ☀️

If you've been around for a while, you might remember that I bought myself a Causebox subscription for my birthday last year, and I've only continued to love this company and the ethical sustainability that they stand behind! It's like the products are just a bonus 😉

Anywaaaays, you can check out my 27-second Reel for the full unboxing (+ explanation for how each brand is sustainable/ethical), but here's a quick "Sparksnotes" list if ya just want a quick lowdown! 👇🏼👇🏼

In my box this quarter, I received:
1️⃣ Cozy Cloud Wrap from @threadandsupply ($115)
2️⃣ Truffle Therapy Face Toner from @skinandco ($30)
3️⃣ Reusable Silicone Baking Sheets from @activatedeco ($24)
4️⃣ Yearly Planner from @idlewildco ($32)
5️⃣ Heathered Slouchy Socks from @maggiesorganics ($25)
6️⃣ Thick Gold Hoops from @sanctuary_project ($38)

ANNNDD…(bonus!) 
7️⃣ the most beautiful box and postcard designed by @sacree_frangine!

I've literally been living in my Cozy Cloud Wrap (just ask Evan!) and have gotten to use all these products, but what's really cool about @causebox is how each brand they feature gives back to the community through various sustainable and ethical missions -- and if ya know me, you know I'm all about that!

Anyways, pardon me now while I go bake some cookies using my new silicone sheets (in my Cozy Cloud Wrap, of course) 🍪☁️

Start with a thin, pancake-like batter and a hot s Start with a thin, pancake-like batter and a hot skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet all at once and slide it into a hot oven. Within a few minutes, the batter will start to puff around the edges, rising higher and higher until this “pancake” looks more like a poofy pillow. Once those edges turn golden and you can’t resist the sweet aroma of baked goods any longer, it’s ready.⁣
⁣
Out of the oven, the Dutch baby will quickly collapse back into the pan — the steam holding it up quickly evaporates in the cooler air of your kitchen. But no bother — what’s left behind is a pancake with the soft, tender texture of a hot crepe.⁣
