We were super impressed by the quality of the ingredients. Large fresh carrots, lovely bok-choy, super green poblano pepper, and a clean portion of boneless and skinless chicken breast were just a few of the high-quality products we got.
There are three meals we tried out, from the wellness plan in particular; each has its unique taste:
- Yellow Curry Lemongrass Tilapia with Brown Rice – Here is a delicate white fish fillet cooked in a light savory curry and fresh lemongrass broth. The brown rice is a great healthy whole grain compliment to the dish, alongside the crisp vegetables like carrots and bok-choy. This meal took us, and it takes about 30 minutes to cook, with elementary prep work.
- Sheet Pan Cilantro Chicken with Shawarma Spiced Vegetables – This meal was a great hit! A tender lean chicken recipe that is easy to cook, clean, and with great Middle Eastern taste. And your only need a pan sheet for this particular dish. The chicken goes with a creamy sauce made of cilantro and fresh labneh cheese, alongside hearty roasted vegetables with very favorable shawarma spice. All of this was topped with tahini, diced Medjool dates, and sliced roasted almonds. The dish took 45 minutes of relatively easy cooking, and the result – WOW! like a fine-restaurant dish.
- Veracruz Style Shrimp Vegetables with Lemon Farro – Here is a spicy recipe with shrimp and delicious sauce mixed with tomatoes, capers, and jalapenos. This sauce is a specialty from the historic Mexican coastal city. If you like a powerful kick in your mouth, this is an excellent option to consider. The shrimps served over a bed of special lemon farro, which deliciously soaks up all the extra sauce.
