When life gets hectic, healthy eating tends to take a back seat. Of course, we don’t blame you, especially since many of us are going back to the office. However, there’s a solution to stopping you from reaching for those salty chips during the afternoon slump — let’s introduce the plant-based and ready-to-eat meal delivery service, Daily Harvest.
While Daily Harvest started out as a smoothie service, today its repertoire includes harvest bowls, soups, flatbreads, chia bowls and other nutritious bites. The “catch,” if you can call it that, is that each recipe is made with only organic fruit and veg. An added bonus: All of Daily Harvest’s menu options are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan without sacrificing flavor. However, it is important to note that Daily Harvest is not suitable for those on a ketogenic diet as it includes healthy carbs in its recipes.
While the calorie and protein counts are relatively low, Daily Harvest meals are not necessarily for weight loss or dieting purposes. Instead, these recipes will help you effortlessly get all the fruits and vegetables you need every day. (Overplaners, we’re looking at you.)
How much is Daily Harvest per meal?
Daily harvest schedules depend on the number of items you want and whether you want them weekly or monthly. The prices also depend on the selected menu items. The cheapest option on the menu is the $5.99 oat and chia bowls. Smoothies — the service’s claim to fame — cost $7.99, while Harvest Bowls — the most expensive menu option — cost $8.99. If you want to pre-order some of Daily Harvest’s healthy foods in bulk, you can do so by box:
- 9 cups for $69.75 per week
- 12 cups for $89.88 per week
- 24 cups for $167.76 per week
First-time Daily Harvest customers can receive significant offers such as: B. $35 off their first box. Shipping and taxes are included, meaning there are no big surprises at checkout. If you change your mind about your weekly order, you can easily change your menu choices on the Sunday before your scheduled delivery with the Daily Harvest app.
If you’re ordering weekly or monthly, we know it doesn’t necessarily come cheap. Daily Harvest doesn’t hold back when it comes to quality and they’ve got pretty much every superfood covered. Without further ado, here are 12 of our favorite Daily Harvest recipes that will help you eat healthy, truly appetizing snacks while saving you valuable time and effort.

This Daily Harvest menu option deserves serious applause for its deliciousness. Who doesn’t love the taste of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough? Another reason we love the cacao nibs and vanilla bites is that they’re packed with nutrients but don’t require any effort unlike some of the other menu options. Pull these morsels out of the freezer and you’ve got yourself a treat for lunch or after dinner. It’s like taking a spoonful of cookie dough before the batch goes into the oven.
Daily Harvest
The smoothie was Daily Harvest’s original offering, so it’s only natural that one of the frozen drinks would appear at the top of the list. This Cherry Almond Smoothie is a real winner because it inspires some serious peanut butter and jelly nostalgia. Not to mention it packs 11 grams of healthy plant protein. To make a Daily Harvest smoothie, all you have to do is add it to the blender with your liquid base of choice. (See Daily Harvest Almond Milk further down the list if you need a base to mix with.)

If you’re craving a burrito, this is the healthiest, next best thing. Quinoa is swapped out for rice, and all of the signature Mexican spices come together for a high-fiber standalone meal. One of our favorite things about Daily Harvest Bowls is that you can use them as a base to toss in some grilled chicken or a fried egg for a little extra non-vegan something.
Daily Harvest
A soup lover’s dream on a cold winter’s day, this one is packed with delicious Asian-inspired flavors. Immune-boosting crimini and shiitake mushrooms are just the ingredients the doctor ordered, especially during cold and flu season. This soup really is proof that soups don’t have to be boring. The soups on the Daily Harvest menu require mixing with a cup of water or broth before heating, which can easily be done in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Daily Harvest
Pizza night, but healthy. The best thing about Daily Harvest’s flatbreads is that, like all the other recipes on the menu, they’re always gluten and dairy free. That’s right, even the base is gluten-free (hello sweet potato). The tomatillo and pepper flatbread is particularly tasty and pizza-like due to its tomato, pepper and oregano combination. It might not be as filling as a regular slice of pizza, but it’s a welcome addition to soup.
Daily Harvest
Caffeine lovers, hands up. This smoothie from Daily Harvest combines cold brew coffee with raw cacao for frappuccino-like goodness. Daily Harvest partners with Vega coffee to bring customers some of the world’s highest quality coffee and coffee recipes like this one. This particular smoothie also adds another key ingredient: ashwagandha, which is known for its stress-reducing properties.
Daily Harvest
Breakfast has now become much easier and tastier. Wake up and fuel up on antioxidants with this blueberry-filled chia bowl. Combine these blueberries with chia seeds — known for their impressive nutritional content in a tiny, low-calorie package — and you’re in business. It’s worth noting that for the best possible flavor, you should soak the ingredients in a milk of your choice overnight.
Daily Harvest
Be your own barista with a coconut-infused matcha latte. This product is particularly inventive and will save you one too many trips to your local coffee shop. It’s all in preparation. All you have to do is run hot water over the latte pod, add milk and heat.
Daily Harvest
We chose this bowl because it’s one of the fancier Daily Harvest menu options. They’re not lying when they say it tastes like grits and veggies. Head south from your kitchen and pack all the good stuff, including fonio – an ancient grain known to improve digestion. Like Daily Harvest’s other bowls, the Grit Collection Bowl serves as a base for extra protein for a filling and easy weeknight meal.
Daily Harvest
Another smoothie, why not? Mint chocolate chip lovers, in particular, will be amazed at just how deceptive the healthy ingredients in this smoothie are. It’s packed with ingredients known to fight free radicals — like mint and chlorella — but it tastes like a milkshake.
Daily Harvest
When it comes to breakfast options, we’d be remiss not to mention Daily Harvest’s take on a classic oatmeal recipe. A blend of nuts, cinnamon and gluten-free organic oats beckons on a chilly fall day. This oat bowl is the healthy alternative to all those high-sugar instant oats out there.
Daily Harvest
Of all the almond milk products on the market today, Daily Harvest’s recipe is definitely a cut above. The only ingredients it contains are almonds and a pinch of Himalayan sea salt. While you can use any milk you have at home to blend some of Daily Harvest’s recipes, their milk adds an extra creamy effect to their smoothie recipes, bowls and soups.
How long do the Daily Harvest meals last?
Daily Harvest meals will last up to three months in the freezer. So don’t worry if you don’t get around to eating your snacks right away. It is important to mention that you should not refreeze meals after removing them from the freezer. Daily Harvest plans allow for a lot of flexibility, unlike other services. Through their iOS app, you can change, pause, or cancel your orders if you change your mind.
Not all of us can channel our inner chef on a daily basis, but you don’t have to worry about meal prep or grocery shopping. With a little help from a completely healthy meal delivery solution, snacks and meals come together effortlessly and in moments.
