We Tried Veestro Plant-Based Meals
Veestro feast.
I’m always looking for delicious and easy meal ideas that won’t take me hours to make. While I’m not vegan, I am trying to incorporate more nutritious veggies into my diet, which is why I was excited to try out Veestro, a plant-based meal delivery service.
Veestro offers fresh-to-frozen vegan organic meals delivered straight to your door. And whether you are vegan or not, they have plenty of options to keep you satisfied while making your life easier. I’ve tried a few other meal delivery services that are delicious, but unfortunately take hours to make. I don’t have time for that (and maybe neither do you), so I couldn’t be more thrilled to find a nutritious pre-prepared meal option that I can just pop in the oven.
Now let’s get to the fun part: the meals. I tried four Veestro options: Hearty Bowl, Red Curry with Tofu, Country Fried Chick’n, and Enchilada Casserole. They were all delicious, and honestly, most of them were “I can’t believe it’s vegan” delicious. (The other one was a classic vegan-style meal.) The meals are shipped to you in dry ice and can be stored in the freezer until you are ready to eat them. Then you can put them in the fridge to thaw out for a day or two before cooking them.
Country Fried Chick’n
I think this may have been my favorite of the meals. Basically, it’s a comforting fried “chick’n” dinner with gravy, mashed potatoes, and a side of veggies. If no one had told me this was vegan, I’m not sure I would have known it wasn’t real fried chicken. I loved the gravy on this! The meal was really delicious and I’ll definitely be ordering this again.
Enchilada Casserole
I really enjoyed this seasoned tofu and vegetable enchilada made with gluten-free tortillas. It was flavorful and great for lunch! Again, I think both vegans and non-vegans would be satisfied with this meal. I’d recommend complementing this casserole with some fresh avocado on the side for a healthy and easy Mexican-inspired meal.
Red Curry with Tofu
This coconut curry with brown rice and lots of delicious vegetables will satisfy your curry cravings. The curry features a combination of sweet and savory with tasty ingredients including lemongrass, Thai ginger, kaffir lime, and more flavorful spices.
Hearty Bowl
This is pretty much the classic vegan meal. It’s a medley of veggies, grains, and sauerkraut featuring cannelloni beans, butternut squash, and broccoli. If you’re a meat eater who is on the fence about vegan meals, this might not be the meal to start with. But for the veggie fan it’s a healthy and simple, straightforward option.
Besides being vegan, Veestro meals can be selected based on special dietary preferences such as high-protein, nut-free, Kosher, gluten-free, and soy-free options. There are various plans available to meet your needs, whether you are looking for a 5 or 7-day meal plan or just want to order meals a la carte. Check out Veestro.com for all the details!
