You May Not Know This About Mindful Chef…

After using Mindful Chef (before becoming an affiliate) for several months, I’ve decided to do a blog post on their amazing product. And to be frank, there have to be excellent reasons to jump on board before subscribing to anything. Once, I Amazon subscribe-and-save-ed to a pack of 60 Nespresso-compatible coffee capsules that actually tasted like dirt water coffee *shudder*. Mindful Chef, on the other hand, is actually entirely customizable, so you aren’t left with here-and-there meals that don’t suit you. It’s tailored to your dietary needs AND taste preferences, for experienced and inexperienced chefs alike. 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

When I looked into signing up for Mindful Chef (a food recipe delivery service), it wasn’t my first rodeo. I dabbled with Hello Fresh a few years ago, and even today I still hear complaints about their service that aligned with my complaints back then. I loved trying new recipes, a perk that any of these services can offer, but my partner and I never felt fully satisfied. In our previous recipe subscription, we thought the content of the meals often left us with more carbs than desired and hungry. We decided to go with Mindful Chef at first because we missed the convenience but wanted a healthier and more fulfilling set of recipes. We also discovered that Mindful Chef had a lot of other benefits to offer.

PB = EASY

One of our goals for 2019 is to start eating more of a plant-based diet in our household for both the health of ourselves and the planet. J and I don’t mind eating plant-based, but old habits die hard. When I ordered Mindful Chef, I didn’t have to walk past the meat section of the grocery store and be tempted by steaks to grill or whole chickens to roast. Through Mindful Chef, we can pick from a great selection of plant-based meals as well as select the occasional meat recipe, which to our delight would be sourced sustainably.

No to Food Waste and Yes to Leftovers that Taste AMAZING

Like I said before, I like recipe delivery services because you get a freshly cooked meal without going to the grocery store. We love to order twice as much to accommodate two different possibilities, having two extra servings so that we could cook for friends or having two lunches ready to go for the following day. Talk about efficiency… 💁‍♀️

With all the options you have, you don’t really feel locked down by the subscription. Having three meals a week (or 6 if you include our leftover lunches) means that we can spend the remaining 4 days being creative in the kitchen, eating a cheeky takeaway, or eating out. Beyond that, I LOVE that we have just the right amount of all the ingredients per meal, so there is absolutely no food waste! Coming from America, the worst culprit/country in the world for food waste, I like to make it a top priority and be apart of the change. 

Their Initiatives are the BEST

And if you thought this was all about saving the planet, don’t stop reading. Mindful Chef also has initiatives to feed people (one for one model) and help you easily recycle all packaging. This creative business has a sustainable and charitable business strategy, which we love, obviously. Last year, they were able to donate over 1 million meals to children living in poverty. 

…

There are so many good reasons to jump on board with recipe subscription services, but at the end of the day, Mindful Chef is superior in all categories for us, and most importantly, nutrition value. They have made sure (a healthy) dinner is on the table, week after week, flawlessly. They’ve made it easy to pause, push or cancel deliveries. And they make plant-based eating easy, whether you’re committed 24/7 or would like to eat more plant-based. 😋

If you haven’t tried them yet, now is the perfect time to take advantage. I have just partnered with Mindful Chef to share a special offer of £10 off your first and second box. Trust me, you will love how yummy these meals are, so definitely take advantage of the opportunity to try them out at a discount. You can access the offer by clicking here. 💛🙌

You won’t regret it! 🤤
