Get a Break from Cooking and Trust @freshnlean to Make Organic, Healthy Meals for your Family!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My husband is newly diagnosed with a thyroid condition and has to eat strictly gluten free, dairy free and nut free so we eat mostly Paleo meals. I won't lie...it is tough! It is tough to make a variety of healthy, tasty meals on a daily basis that my whole family loves.

So when Fresh n' Lean offered to give me a little break from cooking but still provide Paleo, organic and fresh meals for my family, especially my husband, it made my day...and WEEK!

Fresh n’ Lean is an organic, fresh (never frozen), gluten free, low fat, dairy free, and ready-to-eat meal delivery service. They deliver nationwide via FedEx including Hawaii and Alaska. They cater to many different diets, paleo, vegan, low carb, gluten free, low fat, and dairy free.

We received 6 different meals ranging from breakfast to dinner. And no lie, EACH one was delicious, easy to re-heat and really filling! And my whole family enjoyed them!

I love the variety of proteins and sides they included! You can reheat them in the microwave like my husband did at work or in the oven like I liked to do at home.

My husband really liked this Indian Speiced Yellow Squash with Chicken Breast! It easily heated in the microwave and was so filling he had to enlist the help of our children! They loved it too!

I personally really liked the Teriyaki Sesame Seed Brussel Sprouts with Tuna.

With 40 g of Protein it was so filling and great after a workout! Oh and definitely DELICIOUS! They do a great job of mixing lots of delicious flavors while still being healthy and organic! 

If I could create a meal prep delivery in my dreams, this would be it! A company that values healthy, organic and delicious foods for the whole family....and delivers it to my door! Seriously a dream come true! THANK YOU Fresh n' Lean for giving me a break from cooking duty AND doing an excellent job!

Give Mom a Break from Cooking with Healthy Meals from @Bistromd

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Mother's Day is coming up and it is time to give mom what she really wants - a break from cooking!!! You can give mom healthy meals that even help her lose weight, eat healthier or just give her one less thing to worry about with meals from BistroMD!

I know that getting a break from cooking is at the top of my wish list this Mother's Day and I have really enjoyed not having to cook for myself and having healthy meals delivered right to my door from BistroMD.

BistroMD has collaborated with fitness icon Denise Austin, to create convenient and customizable healthy meal options to combat stress overeating and the consumption. Each meal in the Denise Austin Program, available nationwide, features quality protein, is low in sodium and fat and will not contain added MSG or simple carbohydrates.

I received 15 delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and they included meals such as Dark Chocolate Chip Crepes, Canadian Bacon and Swiss Omelet and my favorite breakfast meal, the Bagel Sandwich with Egg, Turkey Sausage and Cheddar!

If you love bagels this is just the breakfast for you! They have combined all-natural turkey sausage, whole eggs and cheddar cheese to give a one of a kind breakfast sandwich that will keep you full with 35 grams of protein. It really did keep me full until lunch which is rare for me!

And for dinners and lunches I received tasty meals such as Manicotti with Vodka Marinara, Beef Shepherd’s Pie, Hickory Smoked BBQ Pork with Peach Crisp and my favorite the Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dijon Dressing

This delicious entree of grilled, center-cut salmon with a lemon Dijon dressing is one that you can’t get enough of. This dish is accompanied by seasoned spinach and a hearty side blend of brown and wild rice. This meal was bursting with flavor and the salmon was perfectly cooked and so delicious with the lemon Dijon dressing!

The meals were easy to reheat, were always right on hand in the freezer when I needed a quick meal, and were always healthy including vegetables, protein and fruits in each meal!

BistroMD was great to work with, they customized my meal plan to what meals I wanted and they were delivered quickly and easily! I looked forward to trying every meal I received and was pleasantly surprised by the bold and unique flavors in every meal!

I have to say, I think BistroMD meals make the perfect gift for the mom that is tired of cooking, looking to lose weight or just wants an easy, healthy meal every now and then (that she doesn't have to cook herself!)!

Buy It:

You can purchase BistroMD meal programs (standard, Gluten-free, Diabetic, Menopause, Silver) and plans starting at $119.95 from the BistroMD website.

Get Organic Produce Delivered to Your Door with @GrubMarket & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

There is nothing my children and I love more than fresh fruit and vegetables! During the winter, we really miss our fresh garden produce! But now I don't have to be as sad because I have discovered GrubMarket, an easy-to-use online marketplace for local food in fresh quality with affordable prices. Their mission is to conveniently make fresh & healthy food accessible to everyone!

GrubMarket firmly believes that you, your family, and your friends should always have the opportunity to eat well, and that price should never be a barrier between you and healthy, delicious, and freshly-harvested food. They are committed to providing you with the best grocery experience possible, by regularly offering you wholesome foods at wholesale prices. They work with a variety of farms and artisan producers to bring you high-quality foods and other items at prices that are up to 50% OFF what you'd typically find at Whole Foods and other grocers.

We were all so EXCITED as we waited for our fresh, organic California Fruit Bounty box to arrive! And when it did, it really blew away my expectations! This box is filled with a seasonal harvest of organic fruit grown in California and since it is winter, the box was filled with a mix of citrus, pears, apples, and more, all grown from the best California farms.

 Some of our favorites that were included were the Blood Oranges, Medjool Dates, Avocado and the Pineapple! They were all delicious and so fresh!

My children got the chance to try fruits that they have never tried before and we loved that!

And when we did find that some of the fruit were a bit over-ripe, the customer service was great and sent some more fruit for the family! 

GrubMarket is all about providing accessibility, by delivering the following key benefits to their stakeholders:

• Unbeatable prices: While many food delivery services and premium grocers cater to high-income earners, GrubMarket is committed to making fresh and delicious food accessible to all people by keeping their prices consistently lower than all comparable grocers.
• Convenience: Through their reliable operations, GrubMarket is committed to providing people in food deserts (ie. areas without farmers' markets and fresh grocery stores) with access to high-quality, freshly-harvested items that they would typically find at a farmers' market or Whole Foods store. Additionally, they offer free delivery across the U.S. for all orders above $59.
• Food Discovery: GrubMarket provides a platform for their partnering small farms and vendors to sell their items directly to customers. Many of these food producers have challenges getting shelf space at grocery stores, and/or may not want to pay the upfront costs of hosting farmers' market tables.

I am overall really pleaseed with the fruit from GrubMarket and I really love the concept! I love most of all that they offer organic fruit because that is what is most important to me as a mom to feed my children and family! I love the great variety they sent and I love that my children were introduced to new fruits that they never had before! It was a fun, nutritious and educational experience!

Buy It:

You can purchase all organic fruit and vegetables from the GrubMarket website.

Additionally, all of YOU can receive 20% off YOUR first order by using code GRUB20 and free shipping on orders over $59.
