Mariampa 8yr Um, no! Will read now! -
sugardetoxme 8yr I think he probably realized how freaking hard the last mile of food delivery is. Particularly on such a "niche" front with vegan meal delivery. -
katewilson 8yr Wow!!!! -
simplywithout 8yr I didn't! Reading now- thank you! -
simplywithout 8yr So interesting and the timing w the NY Times announcement ? I've been so busy w work lately, I'm behind on so much media! Will play catch up this weekend! Thanks @Rachna

vicente 8yr To give my 2 cents, I also think the meal kit model is especially hard for vegans since many times those recipes require a food processor, which not only adds equipment pre-requisites, but adds substantial time to prep and cleanup. That, and as @sugardetoxme points out, the logistics of last-mile delivery are very difficult. Also agree with @simplywithout - peculiar timing with NYT partnership with Chef'd. -
mirasingh 8yr @vicente just saw your profile- it looks like you know some things about meal kits! How has your experience been with last mile delivery? And sheesh! How do you handle all that chopping?
I made it 9 days on the The 5 Fruits and Veggies a Day Challenge!

annefood Awesome @Rachna ! 🥦 🍊🥒🥕🍆
Bowl dinners are the best
Quinoa, lentils, avocado, roasted beats, roasted chickpeas, with tomato-cucumber salsa. This delicious dinner came together in about 25 minutes, and it’s balanced and full of veggies!
-
annefood Agreed- I keep whole grains and beans in the pantry and when I don’t know what to do for dinner I just throw them in a bowl with a veggie or lettuce and some dressing.

msantiago I never thought of raising beets! I love beets any which way . Think I’ll try that! 🤔

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Super easy to roast. Just oil, salt, pepper and straight into the oven.
