They release a changing menu on Tuesdays with delivery on Monday morning. I've been part of this program for almost a month with the exception of one week due to Thanksgiving. The menu includes the option to choose two snacks which can be substituted for one meal. If you need to make any modifications to your meal (i.e. exclude mashed potatoes for extra veggies), all you need to do is provide dietary needs in a field on the Google form, and if there are any questions, you can handle everything through text. There are checkboxes on the Google form for keto and paleo options. For the convenience of food prep and to support locally, I've been happy with Viva Foods. They provide a healthy and convenient option with how busy I am with work. Thanks Viva Foods!

Long over due review! Ordered meal preps for a family member who was staying with us. Ordering was…read morevery easy online and when I had an issue their customer service was quick! Food arrived during the drop off window and fresh. Everything was packed nice and tasted good. Will use them again whenever I need meal prep services. It feels good to support a small business. Go head and try it out. You won't be disappointed.

I have been ordering from My Healthy Penguin since 2016. They've been a lifesaver so many times as…read morelife gets busy and we don't have time to cook or go out to get food. Some of our favorites have been their chili with cornbread, bacon jam chicken, Korean beef with broccoli, and pumpkin spice protein pancakes. It's really amazing to see how much they've grown over the years from building out their headquarters, their refrigerated delivery vans, their delivery system that sends you text messages and you can track where your driver is and their ever evolving menu items. The concept is simple, check out their menu online , place your order by Wednesday for Sunday or Monday delivery; it'll depend on your location for which day they deliver to your area. For me, there's 2 of us so I usually order the 5 meal prep pack and then add on 1-2 breakfast items and/or a snack pack. I love bringing those to work for a mid-morning snack. You'll get an email the day before for an estimated delivery timeframe. We leave a cooler by our front door and our delivery guy will place it in there, take a photo and then send me a text message. Their delivery vans are a sleek black with a cute penguin chef as their logo. It's fun to spot them driving around. What I appreciate is that although the weekly rotation can get dull for some folks, MHP continues to bring new recipes and new menu items like the add-on breakfast items, premium menu items and now the snack packs.

I've been ordering from this company since they first started! Meal preps are convenient and the…read morebest part about MHP is that i don't have to do it myself. They come already packed for the week and they are delicious! Some of my favorite are the chili (with cornbread, yup!), Korean beef, breakfast tacos (oh they have pancakes too!) and snack packs! Their customer service is really good and I've never had any issues! Oh another great thing, they aren't a subscription so you don't have to order every single week, which is awesome when going on vacation or during the holidays! If you're looking for convenient and healthy, order from My Healthy Penguin because you will get that AND it will be delicious!!

**July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more During my SDCC weekend, I walked by Michaela's Meals in the Gaslamp Quarter, which was right between my hotel and the convention center. This shop was just one street down from Ralphs and Vitality Tap so it was conveniently located. On Sunday afternoon, I noticed the space was open for business, so I popped in to check it out. It's a small spot with a staff member, a fridge full of pre-made meals, a little bar area with two stools, a cold water pitcher, and a microwave. The main business model is a weekly subscription, but I learned that the owner also keeps leftovers in the fridge for grab-and-go customers on Wednesdays and Sundays from 1:30-5 p.m. They also run a "buy 4 get 1 free" and "buy 8 get 2 free" promotion, which makes the meals an even better value. I assumed she makes an abundance and sells those for $10 a meal, but since I stopped by close to closing, I got mine for $5 each. I grabbed two to try because the meals looked very nutrition-focused and considering I ate basically garbage throughout Comic Con it was a smart choice to fuel up with real food. I tried a Mediterranean chicken over yellow rice and zucchini, as well as a ground hamburger-style sloppy joe-type meal. The food definitely leans healthy, and considering how inconvenient it is to eat well at SDCC, this was a great find. Since she has Wednesday and Sunday pickups, I'm now contemplating doing a preview-night (Wednesday) pickup for a couple of meals on my next visit. I'll be in touch with Michaela's for future San Diego trips.

Last week, I decided to give Farm Fresh Meals a try as I'm always on the go, and I've been looking…read morefor a healthy meal alternative to going out to eat a lot. However I was very disappointed with these meals. First off, they have a form you fill out and it shows you all of the meals. Looking at the photos, I was excited to try the food. But before I even got to seeing my meals, the wrong meals were delivered to me. I had to call the support and they assured me that the driver would come back and swap them out, a bad start to my experience. Following that, when I finally got the food I was very disappointed. The food looks nothing like the photos, and not only that but it is extremely bland, but not only that, all of the lean protein I ordered was extremely dry, as once I reheated it it seemed like it was cooked too much. To give them the credit though, the pork wasn't dry, however that's not saying much given its easy to keep that from being dry. I've tried multiple competitors in regards to meal prep and this is the most expensive meal prep company I've ever tried, but it's considerably worse than the others in San Diego.

Plus, they're local and use local farmers. So, that's a plus. 1 minor thing is just I wish I could select what meals I wanted in my subscription instead of chef's choice, because I personally just WISH I could order some meals more than once because of how delicious they were.

My large family has all different allergies, so I never have to worry about the meals since they're GF, nut free, dairy free and shellfish free. The prices are so reasonable, and their customer service is top notch. The compostable boxes are like a magic trick, they look small but when the food is plated it's a full generous portion, even for my son who eats closer to two adult portions per meal. I am so grateful to this company, they have been a life saver for my very busy life. I've already saved so much money on take out, and we are eating healthily everyday.

Needing a daily food service, we wanted meals that were both appetising and suitable for everyday consumption. This service truly delivers home-style meals, and their menu is very well curated. Having tried several tiffin services over the past few months, we found that while each had its own merits, the food often became too spicy and oily, making it unsuitable for daily consumption. Additionally, some services offered food combinations that just didn't work well together. This tiffin service, however, provides mild Indian food with less oil and spices, making it perfect for daily meals. The quality and taste have been consistently good. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious, home-style Indian meals that you can enjoy every day!
