I enjoy home cooked meals. They are hard to come by as you get older and realize grandma's cooking was so much better! Half the battle living in New York City is grocery shopping and getting what you need (and don't really need) in one trip, 1/4 time, and the last 1/4 is energy. That's where Ritual comes in. A meal delivery service that brings you just the right amount of ingredients for 1 meal with the directions and nutritional facts. Ingredients labeled, because we all know I don't know the difference between parsley and basil (that is no joke), and directions included! I think the coolest part about this versus a meals to go kind of service is that you get the fresh ingredients and still get to chop and mix and season to create your home cooked meal! Pictured above is the ingredients and finished meal. I got home late and didn't want to eat super late so what I did was meal prep it for lunch the next day. Granted I didn't have it freshly made, but it was still tasty and I feel better about eating that than ordering take out for lunch. I will say this-- the directions I got and what I thought I ordered was lemon herb chicken, but received porkchop. Not a huge deal, but for others it may have been. In a nutshell, if I could afford to do a service like this regularly I would! I'm happy I tried it and have the option. It's great for the times I am cutting weight for competition and need healthier options than what's around the corner or pressed for time. I can spend more time training rather than grocery shopping. They offer a number of menus for the different diet types, too! I obviously ordered from the omnivore menu, but they also offer pescatarian, vegetarian, and paleo! Oh! And before I forget Ritual's brand is aesthetically beautiful, another reason I am drawn to it. Looking forward to seeing what other things they do to build their brand. Seems like they have a wonderful team of creative heads. Hope this post brings you some insight on how city living doesn't need to be hard and that healthy options are always around! I won't lie, healthy often means more $$ but like I always say, "you're worth the investment!" Xo, Fayebear
