I know a ton of you rely on meal kits for simplicity and variety, especially with dinner. The number one question I get about them: Do you think it’s a good idea? Absolutely. You just have to pick the right one based on the amount of time you want to put into it and your health / budget goals.

My Favorite Kits (in ranked order)

#1 Hungryroot

This one is my absolute favorite because it’s not just dinner recipes in the box; they send snacks and treats, too, which means you can literally let them do ALL of the shopping work for you. If you have a hectic schedule, you’re juggling four kids’ activities (like me) or you just don’t want to spend two hours at Whole Foods every week, Hungryroot is THE plan for you.

I also love them because I’m a total ingredient-list snob and they send you really clean brands that I actually use myself. Try the quiz below and you’ll see what I mean!

Who it’s best for:

1. Busy families

2. People with diabetes, high cholesterol

3. People trying to lose weight, low carbers

Pop Quiz Results

Remember last week’s pop quiz about cauliflower?? 60% of you got it RIGHT!

Eating cauliflower can affect your thyroid. If you have hypothyroidism or you’re trying to lose weight and it doesn’t seem to be working, you might want to watch the goitrogenic foods in your diet like broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale and cabbage. You can definitely keep eating them, but switch things up by adding asparagus, carrots or green beans with dinner sometimes or skip the greens in your morning smoothie here and there so you’re not getting too much, too often.

Q+A

Q: What should I be looking for on a food label? Calories? Fat? Sodium?

A: None of the above actually. Whenever I pick up a new packaged food, I go straight to the ingredient list. If it’s a mile long, who cares how many calories it has… you shouldn’t be eating it anyway. And if you can’t decide between two products, always go for the one with the shorter ingredient list.
