​1. Cultivate Kitchen out of Louisville, Colorado knocks it out of the park when it comes to healthy, real-food meal preparation. They deliver and use the freshest ingredients . To top it off, they are woman-owned and is run by highly education minds in nutrition and culinary arts. 




a. I looked at Purple Carrot  However, their selection and calories look like a viable option.  

b. Daily Harvest consists of frozen smoothies and meals. It looks like a great option too. Looks like 6.99 for smoothies and bowls to $9 per  flatbread option.     Keep an eye out for higher carbohydrate and added sugar. (That goes for everything you eat.) 

c. Sun Basket  looks awesome from a pescatarian and calorie-macro standpoint. The service ships ingredients, not prepared meals.  Also looks appetizing. Confirm Your Meals | Sun Basket  10.99 per meal + deivery of 5.99 per week   $13 to $14 per meal according to my research- the shipping fee knocks it up to this amount. 

d.  TRIFECTA  offers different diet options 
Trifecta looks pretty great too.  The only critique is that some of the meals,   I am not sure what percentage,  contains "beyond meat" type of ingredients ,   which isnt bad at all if MOST of the meals are unprocessed.     Keep this in mind , if you explore the menu. 15.49 per meal 

e. Green Chef is noteworthy too.  However the calories and macros are considerable and for your goals, you would want to split up the meals appropriately.    It could be very cost effective if managed correctly. $8/meal

f. My Fit Foods Locations (special discount available through start fresh fitness!!!- email me with details!) -   local, affordable, low carb- The only variable is pick up or delivery.  No vegetarian or organic options currently.   
20% discount for START FRESH FITNESS CLIENTS! 

Research these a bit and see which one is appealing.    You can always try out more than one until you find the right fit. 

I also highly recommend  natural grocers!    I love this place for spices, nuts, seeds, grains . It is a small, affordable (for in-season produce) easy to navigate local grocer!      Definitely check them out!
