Could this meal delivery service really be as good as my Instagram feed was telling me?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is yes, the food is <em>that<\/em> good. I grew up on a farm, so I\u2019m no stranger to fresh, local food\u2014and I can spot poorly sourced ingredients from a mile away.<\/p>\n<p>Each <a href=\"https:\/\/thistle.pxf.io\/jrZvD0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Thistle<\/a> menu item tasted fresh and flavorful and the meals themselves are incredibly inventive. The chef in me tends to add spices to any prepared food, but I actually didn\u2019t open my spice cabinet once when enjoying my Thistle meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If I need to pick favorites, the menu items that stood out the most were the Blue Lagoon Falafel Bowl with Chickpea Crumbles, <a href=\"https:\/\/thistle.pxf.io\/jrZvD0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Thistle<\/a> Ragu Pasta Bowl With Lentil Bolognese, Mango Coconut Oat Bar, and Dandelion Baked Oatmeal with Tahini Caramel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Lagoon Ranch sauce was actually bursting with flavor. I typically go light on sauces, but I kept going back for more (and I loved knowing it was made with fresh, real-food ingredients and no added sugar).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Italian and fairly picky about pasta alternatives, but I devoured the <a href=\"https:\/\/thistle.pxf.io\/jrZvD0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Thistle<\/a> Ragu Pasta Bowl With Lentil Bolognese. It was perfectly prepared and the lentil bolognese made the meal extremely filling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I\u2019d order from <a href=\"https:\/\/thistle.pxf.io\/jrZvD0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Thistle<\/a> <em>any<\/em> time the Mango Coconut Oat Bar is on the menu.<\/p>\n<p>There actually were no meals I didn&#8217;t enjoy, which is saying a lot. I\u2019m not vegan, so I do wish I had the chance to try the protein options as well\u2014but I\u2019d venture to say those are probably just as enjoyable (and likely even more filling).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to companies like Thistle, healthy food is more accessible than ever.
