Thistle - Wellness Delivered

I have never done one of these programs and was excited to not have to figure out what to eat for the week. Knowing that I was going to be getting my food this week, I didn’t have to go grocery shopping. Well, off to the store I go. Got a text outside the delivery window that it was on its way and then another text that it was delivered. Opened my door. Nothing. Checked all my neighbors doors, nothing. I sent an email stating the issue and got a generated email that someone would get back to me in 24 hours. Ummmm okay. I replied to just cancel and refund me and they were quick to cancel my account no apology or explanation. Guess I’ll try the next app among the many that bombard my Instagram.

I've been using this food delivery service for 8 or 9 months now, so I figured I should write a review so that it doesn't go away;) It is a fantastic way to have a ready to eat, healthy meal waiting for me in my fridge when I get home from work. I also don't know how to cook good tasting vegetables/vegetarian meals, so this way, I eat a lot healthier. It's cheaper than going to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Also, I'm gluten-free/Celiac, and I've never had any problems. If there are ever any delivery issues, the company always responds to me right away and credits my account. I get the food on my doorstep in the morning before work twice a week, put it in my fridge, then heat one meal up in a pan after work. I can literally have a fancy, healthy, hot meal five minutes from arriving home. I seriously love Thistle and am always excited to see what my next meal will be! They've gotten really good at creating more and more new meals.

I’m a new customer and Thistle has made my life so much less stressful! I have a busy job and am often too tired to cook, so it’s comforting to come home to prepared meals that require no cooking! I love the plant-forward recipes and am feeling more energetic as a result. I also am a frequent light meal eater and have been able to get two meals out of one with the salads and most of the dinners. I just keep a few staples at home to supplement. Suggestions: 1) try to lower the sodium levels in the dinners. Some are quite high and would be healthier without so much of it. Or maybe offer a low sodium plan for those who want or need to restrict. 2) I recycle my containers but am concerned that others will not. Are they compostable, or could you consider switching to glass returnables?

The lunch salads are way better than dinners . The thai soup is not edible due to the lemon grass being all over in it . Initially I gave 3 stars but have to update because my last 3 meals have been super delicious and I’m glad I kept on for 2 weeks. I think any meal deliver service takes some getting used to as the variations are different than everything we become used to. I still feel how I feel about that thai soup and the fibrous lemon grass throughout it .

My experience with the Thistle app has been positive so far. It’s simple, not trying to do too much, and I’ve been able to figure out everything I need to. I think I still prefer using the browser platform because I have a small phone and it’s nicer looking at bigger photos of the food, but I still appreciate having the app and I think the design is nice and clean.
