My Daily Harvest Review

I get asked questions about Daily Harvest all the time, so I figured it would be nice to have it all written up in one place for your viewing pleasure. Let me start off by saying this is not sponsored (I wish!) I just think DH is a great nutritious option for a meal or snack. A common nutrition concern for a lot of people is wanting quick, but healthy food options. Life is busy and hectic and it’s nice to know the freezer is stocked with nutritious and tasty options for those moments.

I also love gifting Daily Harvest to new mamas or for friend’s birthdays because it is something people are typically really interested in, but may not treat themselves to. I order myself a box about once a month.

TIP: be sure to go into your account and edit your delivery schedule or you will get weekly deliveries.

Smoothie 101
Not all their smoothies are created equal and many are a great base, but not adequate for a complete meal. Be sure to always check the protein and fat content. If you’re wanting this smoothie to be a meal then aim for about 15-20 grams protein and 10-15 grams fat so you’re full and satisfied. Add in protein powder and/or nut butter, avocado, MCT or coconut oil to get the protein and fats up as needed. Read my post here on how to build the perfect smoothie for more info.

FYI the servings size is 1/2 a smoothie, so double the grams amount because you probably plan on drinking the whole thing 😉

DH smoothies don’t typically have added sugar and the sugar amount you’re seeing on the nutrition label is from the fruit/dates. You can choose more veg based smoothies if you’re wanting less sugar from fruit. Also be mindful of the liquid base you’re using…for example if you use a sweetened vanilla almond milk you may also be adding about 5-10+ grams additional sugar. I prefer to use unsweetened almond, hemp milk, or coconut water. Sometimes I will even use a Pressed Juicery celery juice or greens as my liquid.

My Fave Smoothie Flavors
Banana + Greens, Cold Brew + Almond, Pineapple + Matcha, Ginger + Greens, Mango + Greens, Mint + Cacao, Apple + Greens. I also usually get the Strawberry + Peach one for Quinn 🙂

TIP: When making a smoothie for just your child… only pour 1/2 the frozen smoothie contents into the blender + liquid of your choice and save the other 1/2 for another time.

“Superfood” Additions
I will usually add some extra goods to my smoothie to up the nutritional value. Things I like to add: Vital Proteins, adaptogens like ashwagandha or rhodiola, green dream, spirulina, bee pollen, maca powder, hemp seeds, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, coconut oil, MCT oil, coconut butter, cinnamon, or cacao nibs or powder.

Other DH Items
TBH, I pretty much stick to the smoothies and haven’t ventured out too far with their other products. I did try one of the harvest bowls when they first came out and I wasn’t too impressed. My biggest issue was the portion size…I didn’t feel satisfied after the meal.

I have not tried their soups. I did try the Blackberry + Majik chia bowl and wasn’t a huge fan. BUUUT, I did try one of the functional lattes and LOVED it! You get 3 lattes per cup which is amazing. I had the Chaga + Chocolate and it was a yummy afternoon treat.

My Next Order
This order looks a little different because I’m stocked on my smoothies and wanting to try more soups and bowls so I can give you better tips on those. I’ll update this post after I try them all.

Here is what I’m trying: Butternut Squash + Chimichurri Harvest Bowl, Quinoa + Chipotle Harvest Bowl, Cauliflower Rice + Kimchi Harvest Bowl, Lentil + Mesquite Chili (soup), Ginger + Tumeric Latte, and Cold Brew + Almond smoothie.

Here is my link for 3 free smoothies if you’re wanting to try! Let me know if you have any other questions.

xx,
Alix
