I Tried A $500+/Month Meal Delivery Service, And It Might Just Be Worth The $$$

Their food forgoes many of the standard ingredients in other meal delivery services, like gluten, dairy, refined sugar, and cooking oil. Personally, I prefer eating as clean as possible (though the occasional chocolate dessert sneaks into my diet), so knowing that each meal is packed with pastured, sustainable proteins, high fiber, and some of the 200+ plants included in their weekly menu is pretty great. Even better – Methodology offers a totally customizable service, which allowed me to select the size of their portion (regular or large), substitute meat for vegan or seafood options and note any allergies or dietary restrictions.

Anyone who knows me is aware of my utter disdain for cooking. No matter how hard I try, I’d just rather have my food prepared in a flash and never touch a set of kitchenware again, which made Methodology all the more appealing to me. Since all of their meals come fully cooked (if it’s required) in reusable containers, it took minutes to heat up meals and enjoy.

Methodology was kind enough to send me their full weekly reset, which was valued at $345/week. The package included 15 meals to span over 5 days, cute little protein ball snacks, and a collection of fresh juices. Each day, I tried something new (and totally out of my comfort zone) – from a sage dijon turkey salad to beef bolognese to a wildflower prawn salad – most of which was shockingly tasty to my selective palette. I've never consumed wildflowers or sage in my life (among many, many other ingredients in their meals), so I was certainly skeptical after reading over each container’s contents. Even so, each meal was truly fresh and way more colorful than my normal plates, so it was a welcomed surprise.

Long story short, if you’re a busy professional, time-bound mom, or health guru, Methodology may be worth a try! However, if you're ultra-ultra-ultra picky, this may be a service worth skipping.
