I just started the plan this week. The food was fresh and delicious, far exceeding my expectations. The portions are filling but just right and not excessive. Although I am not dieting, I would guess that this plan would be very good for those interested in dieting for weight loss. The delivery was as promised. I would highly recommend this service!
I stayed at Thistle Bloomsbury and it was a great stay with a lovely fresh breakfast. It got off to a good start with the reception staff member, Genevieve, welcoming us with a smile and a chat. Yes she went through the information and gave us our keys but it always makes a difference. Once in our room we had two beds, a sofa and a comfortable chair. Vitally, the fan was working as it was super hot outside. Breakfast staff were equally helpful with lots of choices from berries and yogurt to a full English. Our day got off to a great start. Thank you.
There is much to love and a few dislikes, but overall I'm happy with Thistle. Pros: unlike other greenwashed meal kits, Thistle is ALL organic (at least I think LOL), reasonably priced (I was ordering kits from Green Chef for same cost per person, but still had to do the cooking and some prep and only veggies were organic, Green Chef charges extra for organic meat which wasn't always an option, their tofu, seasonings/sauces and other items like tortillas were always conventional, yuck, that's why I switched to Thistle), I feel great that they reuse ice packs and bags, meals generally taste great Cons: I don't order every week because eventually the meals do start tasting the same, they use Rice Bran oil (better than vegetable oil or soybean but not nearly as good as avocado or olive oil), their website is not super easy to navigate, delivery times change at the last minute (but I understand it's tricky to make fresh food and have local deliveries on an exact schedule when I live over an hour away with lots of traffic between me and their kitchen), many times the amount of sauce/dressing is not enough
I really love the pink sauerkraut and the cilantro seasoning as well as dressings. I also love the teriyaki and sesame seasoning and dressings. Another favorite is the chai seed morning smoothies they help with energy and digestion
Thistle serves up great healthy food in a super easy process. You get to pick/customize your meals and then schedule 1-2 deliveries a week. I love that they take back the bags and ice to re-use, so while there’s some plastic not like some of the other food meal services i’ve tried that feel extra wasteful. The pad thai is my favorite! Only reason 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish options changed more, I find I get tired of the choices after about a month. But, then you can easily skip a few deliveries or change # of what you order and come back when you’re ready.
At first, I was very excited to try Thistle. In general, very satisfied with the convenience and delivery. The meals have ranged from a solid 3/5 to 5/5. However, I've noticed a general decline in the variety and quality of meals over time. This may be due to changing seasonal menu or change of regulations, but at this point every week is largely the same and not particularly inspiring. Owing to the lack of variety, I'm finding it very difficult to make my selection worth the price and I don't think I will continue my service for much longer.
I love the twice a week delivery. I love the healthy, nutritious food. It saves me money by keeping me from wasting cash at the supermarket. They could upgrade to better insulated delivery bags with better ice packs. If thistle didn’t deliver to my house at 2am, there would be much more spoilage. Cook unity has much higher quality of both. I also HATE THE PLASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING PLEASE?!? I could go buy Trader Joe’s salads with the same plastic for HALF the cost. The meal selections are somewhat repetitive and the selection doesn’t compare to other companies like Cook Unity or Factor. Hoping Thistle eventually goes 100% Organic to avoid pesticide residue but only time will tell. All in All this is a great company with great customer service. The meals are what they say and they help me eat vegan and healthy 5 days a week. The weekends are my guilty pleasure. Thanks Thistle! 😘
