Review of Gobble Green

Well, my experimentation with Gobble Green is done. It was a fun week of lots of new foods. I decided to do a pro/con list of using the meal service. I'll start with cons, because I like to end on a positive note!! :)

Cons:
It is expensive - however, all meal delivery services are expensive and there's a reason for that - we are paying for a service. I don't think that Gobble Green is any more expensive than other non-vegan services. If you would like to pay for the convenience, then its a good buy.

Not good for picky eaters - I eat a lot of weird stuff now, BUT I still don't like mushrooms very much and I don't like olives. Unless you pay more for the custom meal plan, you get what they give you. This ruined a few meals for me, which is money out the window for me.

I missed cooking - if you like to cook, it is hard to give up for long periods of time. The day I finished my meals, I spend an entire day in the kitchen cooking and preparing my favorite foods.

Pros:
Great company - I had some questions/delivery issues in the beginning. Customer service got right back to me and even threw in a free t-shirt for my inconvenience. I appreciate any company that goes the extra mile for their customers.

Good food - the food overall was really good, and it actually tasted fresh. The few dishes that I did not like were more because of my own food preferences and not that the food was bad. The desserts were amazing!

Good nutrition - the meals were well balanced nutritionally and I was always satisfied after my mals.

Convenient - Even though I love to cook; it was nice having a clean kitchen all week and not have to worry about what I was having for any of my meals. I love that!


Final Conclusions:
Due to my pickiness, I decided not to go ahead and do the weekly service. For any meal I didn't like it was about $7 down the drain. I am trying to do better to make extras of my own food to freeze for eating later. The expense is less and it gets me done in the kitchen in just a day's worth of work. I think I will order some of my favorites to have on hand whenever I need it, and also I will definitely get some desserts. These are desserts that vegans and nonvegans will like and would be easy to bring along to parties and know that I don't have to worry about what to eat.
I would recommend it to any vegan who would like a meal service. It was yummy and convenient.
