In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast we’ll be reviewing Splendid Spoon. Splendid Spoon is a meal subscription service that specializes in clean ingredients.
You can listen to us discuss our Splendid Spoon experience here or read on for a quick summary.
 

 
Splendid Spoon is a plant-based meal delivery service that serves up smoothies, soups, grain bowls, and noodle bowls that are low in sugar and sodium and are delivered ready-to-eat.  
Their meals and plans are designed to help their customers pick up healthy habits like cutting out sugary processed meals. Knowing what to eat on a healthy diet can be confusing, especially if you’re just starting out. Splendid Spoon helps their customers take the guesswork out of what to eat on a healthy plant-based diet. 
 
How it Works
You choose how often you want to receive meals: weekly, every other week, or once a month. You can update your delivery schedule to fit your lifestyle.

Other Considerations

Ships to the US only
Meals are shipped in recyclable, insulated packaging, so the foods arrive frozen, partially frozen, or chilled
Boxes, plastic bottles, and pint containers are 100% BPA-free and recyclable
Bowls are microwave-safe
All meals are vegan, low-sugar, plant-based, and gluten-free. Note any allergies you have upon signing up, and products that contain potential allergens will be flagged in the menu.

 
Is Splendid Spoon Right For You? 
We received two separate boxes. The first contained a variety of grain bowls, smoothies, and wellness shots. 
The noodle bowls came a few weeks after that since they are a newer offering. 
 

 
Packaging
I really like their commitment to making their packaging 100% recyclable. It’s a bit disheartening sometimes when companies support healthy habits but aren’t really looking out for the planet.
Splendid Spoon has a whole page on their site that talks about their streamlined supply chain and freezer-friendly meals that help reduce food waste. 
In addition to their packaging being recyclable, it’s also 100% BPA-free and their bowls are microwave-safe.
