Splendid Spoon Meal Delivery Review!

Splendid Spoon

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Splendid Spoon delivers ready-to-eat, nutrient-dense, plant-based smoothies, soups, grain bowls, and noodles nationwide. They have fresh, vegan, gluten-free, GMO-free, and soy-free ingredients.

A few months ago I received a Splendid Spoon Box. Today I’m going to be writing a review of Splendid Spoon with the pros and cons I experienced.

What is Splendid Spoon?

I first found Splendid Spoon while doing research for my 7 Best Vegan Meal Kit Services article.
Splendid Spoon is a vegan meal kit service that focuses on healthy, fast, and 100% plant-based food! Splendid Spoon’s food is gluten-free, low in sodium, dairy-free, soy-free, meat-free, fish-free, non-GMO, and has no added sugars!

At the writing of this article, the options are: Breakfast; Breakfast + Lunch; Breakfast, Lunch + 1 Day Soup Reset; and Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner + 1 Day Soup Reset.

Review

Ok, let’s get into the review. Splendid Spoon has great packaging. When I received the box, it had been outside for awhile, and when I opened it up, it was still cool inside! The food was already made, with no cooking required ~ all I had to do was heat it up and eat it!

The contents of that box were:

Splendid Spoon Bowls

Green Goddess Bowl

The Green Goddess Bowl is fresh, tangy, and crunchy (from the almonds). It also has a light tahini flavor. And it’s gluten-free!


Aloo Gobi Quinoa Bowl

I don’t usually like curry, but I enjoyed the Aloo Gobi Quinoa Bowl. It has a mild curry flavor.

Cuban Black Bean Bowl

I usually don’t like spicy food, and the Cuban Black Bean Bowl was a little bit spicy, but it was still one of my favorite Splendid Spoon bowls. The bowl is hearty and is packed with flavor, and the plantains add a touch of sweetness.

Kabocha Congee

The Kabocha Congee has an autumn flavor, with a mild spice. The coconut flakes add a great crunch to the soup!

Vegetable Bolognese Bowl

I didn’t expect the Vegetable Bolognese Bowl to taste like pasta, but I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted just like pasta! It also has a creamy red sauce that tastes great!

Splendid Spoon Smoothies

Mango Guava

The Mango Guava Smoothie is a bright, tropical, and fresh smoothie!

Strawberry Goji

The Strawberry Goji Smoothie is bright, refreshing, and light!

Dragon Fruit Berry

The Dragon Fruit Berry Smoothie has a sophisticated and complex taste.

Mint Chip Smoothie

The Mint Chip Smoothie is my favorite Splendid Spoon smoothie. It has a subtle cacao flavor. It’s protein-filled and it’s reminiscent of a mint chip ice cream!

Splendid Spoon Shots

Orange Wellness Shot

The orange juice in the Orange Wellness Shot tasted sweet, while the ginger and oregano were strong. It did burn my throat a bit, but I could feel them working in my sinuses!

Green Detox Shot

The Green Detox Shot was sweet, I could taste the spirulina and apple. I’d be happy to drink this every day!

Splendid Spoon Noodles

Please, excuse the terrible photo quality! All of the noodles tasted way better than the way these photos look! For better quality photos, use this link to go to the Splendid Spoon website.

Creamy Butternut Squash Noodles

It’s a slightly sweet, creamy smooth noodle. It tastes good.

Green Curry Noodles

It was pretty spicy, but the curry was not overpowering.

Kale Pesto Noodles

I love pesto, and I wasn’t disappointed! It was unconventional with sun-dried tomatoes. It also had a slight nutty crunch.

Tangy Ginger Noodles

It was mildly spicy, and a bit sour. It reminded me of comfort food.

Sesame Noodles

It has a strong sesame flavor, with lots of mushrooms!

Some Reasons Why I Like Splendid Spoon

Energy – Their soups have between 2 to 4 grams of iron per bowl! Iron helps to increase energy. It also helps to improve focus and boost the immune system.

Reducing stress – Their bowls contain between 400 to 800 grams of potassium. Potassium helps to reduce stress. Potassium also helps to regulate blood pressure.

Heart Health – Their smoothies, bowls, and soups contain between 2 to 6 grams of fiber. Including fiber in your diet helps to lower cholesterol and also lowers your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Conclusion

Pros

  • Healthy
  • Lots of options
  • Good ingredients
  • 100% Vegan
  • Fast

Cons

  • Not 100% organic
  • Some of the meals were a little bland, but with some salt (I used Herbamare) it tasted great!
  • A little pricy
Overall I think Splendid Spoon is a great option.

*Full disclosure I did receive this box for free, in exchange for my personal review.
