You have two options when you sign up for Sakara meal delivery: a three-day or five-day meal plan. You get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a "wellness supplement" of your choice: either a daily probiotic blend; "Beauty + Detox Water Drops," (ionic minerals and chlorophyll for hydration)' or "Beauty Chocolates," to, as the brand says, improve the texture, hydration, and elasticity of your skin. You also get several bags of a caffeine-free "detox tea" to sip between meals; mine was rooibos, lemongrass, and rose. (I drank the tea but skipped the supplements.)
The cost is pretty steep. The five-day plan is $350 per week, while the three-day plan is $240. That's more than what I pay for groceries, but then again, these meals were also healthier than what I usually make. It's not like I'm eating junk all the time, but my daily diet definitely doesn't have as much fresh produce as Sakara's gluten-free, dairy-free meals, which contain four to six cups of leafy greens alone in every lunch and dinner. Meals also change throughout and between weeks, giving you a nice variety. (For that reason, I won't go into too much detail about every single meal that I tried; it's unlikely you'd get the exact same combination of meals as I did.)
I received my shipment in one (giant) box early on Monday morning. Delivery times vary depending on where you live; mine was delivered at around 3 a.m., and I was notified via text message, which I saw when I woke up. The containers were all recyclable, which made me feel a little better about using so much single-use plastic. I crammed it all into my fridge (tip: clear out at least half a shelf beforehand) and grabbed my breakfast and lunch for the day.
As for the food: I went in pretty skeptical, frankly, and the meals impressed me. They were good. Like, "normal people and not just fitness editors can enjoy them" good. Ahead, I'll break it down by meal: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
