Fresh n’ Lean Review and Discount

When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, the one area in my life where I really struggle is nutrition.  I mean, I know what I should eat, but heck, this blog is called Lisa Runs for Cupcakes for a reason.  Aside from struggling with my sweet tooth, I also find it challenging to prepare healthy lunches.  If I don’t take the time to prepare on the weekends, I often times make poor lunch choices during the work week.  One of the ways, I  get around the food prep is by purchasing pre-packaged food items or salads.  This too is tricky because you have to seriously check out your ingredient lists.

I recently received the opportunity to try Fresh n’ Lean, a healthy meal delivery service.  I decided to give it a try because when I looked at the online ingredient lists, everything is organic, vegan, and delivery fresh to your doorstep to avoid the need for preservatives.  My package arrived as scheduled in a cooler box with ice packs.  Each meal was provided in a sealed container with an easy to read ingredient list and nutrition facts.  I will admit that on first glance, I was not impressed.  I suppose that when food gets shipped across the country, there is no way to make it look as though it was fresh from the stove.  Thankfully, I was more than happily surprised with their products and looks can definitely be deceiving.  These meals were incredibly flavorful and fresh!

Below you can take a look at the some of items that I tested out.  My favorite meal was the Garbanzo and Sweet Potato Curry.  The Mixed Berry Chia Pudding, Cinnamon Date Oatmeal, and the Hearty Granola were provided for breakfast.  I split up the other meals between lunches and dinner.  I received the Garbanzo and Sweet Potato Curry, Cumin and Yellow Pepper Lentils, Potato and Portobello Mushroom Sauce, White Beans and Black Kale, and the Balboa Rice Bowl.  I have to say that the flavors in the entrees were fantastic and this is likely where I would make my purchases in the future, especially since I struggle to find different vegan dinner options.
