Smoothie deliveries provide fast healthy eating with reduced prep.
Smoothies are definitely a food category so why shouldn’t they have their own subscription delivery services? Smoothies satisfy cravings, provide necessary daily vitamins, minerals and fiber in one drink, are quick healthy meals and great pick-me-up snacks. Preparing smoothies from scratch requires prep time and a supermarket run. A delivery service saves time and money and offers convenience and simplicity. Most of the delivery services send packages of ready-to-go frozen ingredients, others provide fresh ingredients. Store in the fridge or freezer and when you need it, blend in the liquid of your choice.
Green Blender has two products to choose between – superfood smoothies and superfood cereals. It does not freeze the smoothie pouches it sends to customers, unlike most of the other smoothie delivery companies. There is no right or wrong, it’s personal preference. Freezing allows ingredients to stay fresh longer without preservatives, but some people prefer unfrozen. The company has a wide variety of smoothies to choose from.
- The smoothies’ ingredients come unblended with instructions.
- The Fresh Start week-to-week subscription is $49 for five smoothies, or $9.80 a smoothie. This seems more than other companies, but Green Blender’s pouches each contain 2 servings (24 oz.).
- Each week has a theme and customers receive what’s coming in that week’s theme. They include a card with recipes for all the smoothies that week.
