You aren’t imagining it: pandemic weight gain is definitely a thing. In a poll of more than 1,000 WebMD readers, nearly half of the women and almost one-quarter of the men said they’d gained weight “due to COVID restrictions”. And then there was that viral Instagram post where Will Smith vowed to get fit after “countless days grazing thru the pantry.”
But as we all know (Will Smith included), “getting fit” is easier said than done. Luckily for us, there are companies out there willing to take us under their wing. This week we want to recommend you Daily Harvest’s meal kits. “We take care of food, so food can take care of you,” reads the company’s website—which is exactly the kind of ownership we’re looking for…
The company offers over 80 uniquely nourishing, chef-crafted options for any time of day with plans based on the number of items you want (9, 14, or 24) and how often you want them delivered (weekly or monthly). You can also modify your items, delivery schedule, and plan preference whenever you wish. All Daily Harvest foods are crafted by in-house chefs and nutritionists, with 95% of the ingredients organic—another huge bonus.
“What I like to say is we offer convenience without compromise,” explained Daily Harvest’s founder and CEO, Rachel Drori, in an interview with The Flair Index. “Usually the two don’t work together very well. The ultimate goal is to have people get deliveries of Daily Harvest where they fill their freezer and think about their freezer as a place to go for their daily nutrition.”
These days the company even offers a healthy version of ice cream (their new pistachio + toasty, buttery hazelnut scoops look simply heavenly). Check them out here and follow them on Instagram for more.
