We recently received our third monthly LeafSide shipment of meals, and this recommendation is overdue. I have enjoyed EVERY one of these meals! They are very delicious and filling meals, plus super-easy to prepare and clean up afterwards.
Part of what motivated me was the desire to focus on plant-based diet with a great variety of healthy ingredients. Part of it also was just the times we live in, with supply chain shortages on top of the risks you take just driving to go in and out of a local store. Not to mention this is a GREAT stash of meals to have in case of a major storm or other emergency where you might find yourself locked down, due to a pandemic, or a war. A box shows up at your door. You just add the right amount of boiling water and wait 10 minutes. EASY!

My one pro tip when preparing a LeafSide meal is this - take time to carefully break apart the clumps in the package before or after pouring the package contents into your bowl. Then add the water. This makes completing the thorough stirring process easier, more effective, and generally cleaner (less spills). Enjoy!

I absolutely love LeafSide superfoods! I am on their subscription plan and my second order will arrive next week. I find that for one person, I can get two servings per bag for the Savory and Sweet-Bowls as well as the Soups. Half of a Sweet-Bowl pairs great with a small side of yogurt, or oatmeal. For my Smoothies, I will use the whole bag, but to extend the portion, I add additional almond milk and more ice. I also add to the Smoothie, two tablespoons of protein powder, plus one heaping tablespoon of superfood greens powder.

What I love about LeafSide whole foods is how nutritious they are, plus the wide variety of whole foods in each bag. They are definitely cost-effective because one is not losing money like fresh food rotting in refrigerator, as well as the ability to stay out of grocery stores in the middle of a pandemic. I highly recommend getting a subscription, and it's great that one can customize each order. PLUS, the LeafSide website is very easy to navigate to update forthcoming orders to customize what to receive, skip a shipment, even how many packets you want per order.

I have now tried all their products: Soups, Smoothies, Savory-Bowls, and Sweet-Bowls. All of them are great. I've also already had the opportunity to use them during an emergency when all the electricity went out for four days after a windstorm. We have a propane stove, which is all we needed to heat the water, and that's all it takes to create a meal in 15 minutes. Vegan, organic, and well-balanced, I couldn’t ask for a better food delivery company. Great customer service as well. I know this sounds like a paid testimonial, but it's not! Seriously, after trying a number of other food services, this is the best we found.

I subscribed to LeafSide, and I must say that not only is the food really good and VERY easy to prepare, but it's a GREAT value. If one is working or living a very busy life, it's even more amazing. Check it out. And now, with threats of food shortages, this would be a good way to extend one's food supply - and it's VEGAN!!

Dear LeafSide,

I can’t thank you enough for your meals. As I write this I’m eating a Berry Medley Sweet-Bowl, my favorite.

I haven’t been eating well due to stress from Hurricane Ian. The right side of the eye went right over us.

Last night I added a cup of almond milk to the oatmeal and this morning it’s all ready.

How nice it is to know I’m getting a nutritious meal. Again, thank you!
