Gardencup review: Making dining as convenient as possible

My days are usually Start with me waking up 10 minutes before work, drinking an energy drink, logging into my laptop, and then getting a headache around 3pm when I realize I haven’t eaten a single thing (let alone one thing). Nutritious something). Between the hyperfocus of ADHD and the temporal blindness that coexists with ADHD, I tend to eat like a toddler and accidentally let produce spoil because being out of sight is completely out of mind. Sometimes I feel like a sim from Sims 4wandering aimlessly around my house looking for… Somethingwithout realizing that all my needs bars are flashing red. When I remember to eat, I tend to livestock, and I can eat grilled meats or adult lunches for 90 percent of my meals. I love containers. I love finger foods. I am a foodie I cannot He doesn’t like to think too much about his next meal.

Gardencoop. Gardencup is the answer.

Gardencup is a Meal subscription service Sends fresh salads, bowls, soups, produce and snacks to your front door. And I’m a little bummed I tried it because now I don’t think I can stop getting it.

Where were you?

Gardencup is a little different from some other popular meal kit services because you can completely customize your order each week. Choose either a six- or nine-pack, build your package (there are vegetarian and vegan options), and choose your shipping frequency. Total order varies by item. High-protein salads cost $12, while snacks and produce cost between $6 and $9. You can Sign up for Gardenclub After placing at least five orders to earn a percentage as cashback. You can turn off or skip automatic deliveries and cancel your shipments easily in your account settings.

Each jar is packed to the brim full of goodness. Stuffed salads are cleverly packaged, with dressings and wet ingredients on the bottom and fresh vegetables on top. Simply shake it when you’re ready to eat and you’ll have a fresh salad in no time. It’s also tightly packed – sometimes I had to grab a few forks of the dressed spinach in order to have enough room inside the jar to shake it well. Of course, you can also empty everything into a bowl. For products like Producecups — chopped pineapple or apples with almond butter, carrots and celery sticks with hummus — or spreads like tuna salad, just dig in. (Note that you will need to bring your own biscuits.)

The main thing I love about Gardencup is how much easier my life has been. I’m already thinking about money, doctor appointments, going to the gym, career growth, maintaining my friendships, abandoned emails, the state of the world as a whole, and whether or not I can wear cool purple lipstick. (I can’t.) Even though I love delicious food, the last thing I want to think about is having to eat a weird meal three times a day. Gardencup allows me to continue on autopilot for a while. I reach into my fridge, grab a cup of something, and eat it knowing that it’s nutritious and tastes good in the end. Sometimes meals are a bit bland – my chicken and noodle soup would have benefited from some black pepper, and I add my dressing to a few salads if I haven’t reviewed it. But bartering is not a problem at all for me and my lifestyle. “It’s better to have a cup of food and need to add your own dressing than to not have a cup of food at all. These weeks, eating well more easily and frequently with the help of a Gardencup means that cooking or going out for dinner feels less like a luxury and less like a thing.” Another on my to-do list.
