Sakara Meal Plan Review
As a Chronically Hungry Meat-Eater, Here's What I Thought of This Plant-Based Meal Service
5
Delicious and diverse: I never felt like I was eating the same meals over and over, which was one concern I had. Each dish had a satisfying variety of flavors that kept me interested in the meal and looking forward to the next one.
Lots of vegetables: This is a huge plus for this meal plan program. I don't eat as many vegetables as I should, and they're the main event for every Sakara meal in a way that was more exciting and satisfying than my usual plain, simple salads.
Easy to follow: The meal containers listed all the ingredients, heating instructions were included on relevant packages, and the meal plan came with a guide that laid out tips and recommendations for making the most out of the plan. The brand is transparent about how it sources, creates, and chooses meals, and explains why it's opted for plant-based, organic dishes (higher nutritional content and health concerns around chemicals and processed foods, among other reasons). Sakara also has a science and advisory council that includes MDs and a professional chef.
I didn't miss meat (that much): Granted, I don't eat that much meat, but chicken and fish regularly make it onto my weekly menu. I didn't find myself missing either of them, to the point that I almost left this off my list of pros, because I just forgot that I usually ate meat. I didn't go completely vegan (I ate yogurt), but the taste, variety, and plant protein in the meals kept me pretty well-satisfied and free of meat cravings.
