My Favourite Food Subscription Services

My Favourite Food Subscription Services

Since the onset of the pandemic, food subscription boxes and food delivery services, in general, have become way more diverse and widespread. We were all confined to our homes for months, and these services made getting delicious food brought right to our doors both efficient and easy. These subscription boxes even let us try new foods that we had never thought to make before, allowing us to discover some new favourite dishes! And while we are no longer in lockdown, we still love the convenience of food subscription boxes from time to time. That is why I want to share my favourite boxes with you; so you can also take full advantage of the benefits (and all the juicy holiday promos this year!).

Revive Superfoods

At first, Revive Superfoods only offered smoothies. Now don’t get me wrong, these smoothies alone were completely worth purchasing. However, over the last couple of years, they’ve added supermeals, soups, frozen desserts, and more to the menu. Everything is perfectly convenient for those who have minimal time first thing in the morning but don’t want to compromise on healthy foods and nutrition. Revive Superfoods is an excellent option if you’re looking for plant-based meals or want something ready-made in just a few minutes.

Holiday Promo: Get 40% off your first box of plant-based goodies with the code RSF40

truLOCAL

No surprise here. My work with truLOCAL is extensive, and that is because they are absolutely fantastic. They offer customers clean, locally sourced meat, poultry, and fish products, and I am absolutely never disappointed by the quality. Everything comes frozen over dry ice, so even if your box is delivered while you’re away from home, your order will remain cold and fresh till you come back. I should also mention, their customer service is top-notch. truLOCAL is consumer-centric and ensures that each and every customer receives their box, how they ordered it and when they ordered it. They even often leave you little thank you notes inside for a happy surprise when you open everything up.

Holiday Promo: Order your preset holiday boxes before November 30th and get early bird discounts, starting at only $109! As of December 1st, they go up by $10 each.

Special Bonus: As the promotions don’t stack, you can alternatively receive $25 off of any regular-sized box when you use my code: TRUCANADIAN25

General Assembly

Toronto cult classic General Assembly also offers a subscription box, and if you’re a pizza lover, you should check it out ASAP. Choose from various best-selling pizza combinations, from Mila Margherita to the plant-based Magic Gathering, to Sweet Heat and everything in between. The pizzas come frozen over dry ice, so you can choose to heat them up right away or save them to share (or not..) later. In just 7 minutes, you’ll have naturally leavened pies that use delicious ingredients from the comfort of your own home and that stack up to the restaurant original.

Holiday Promo: Receive free shipping and 10% off all new orders for the holidays, valid until January 4, 2022

GoodFood

We tried out a handful of recipe-based food subscriptions during lockdown, and GoodFood came out on top by a landslide. We enjoyed pretty much every single meal we ordered, to the point where we got my parents hooked on the subscription service as well. Their meals are chef-designed and easy to follow. They fit into categories such as vegetarian, easy prep (minimal prep time), clean15 (lower calorie, lower carb), slow cooker, and more, which means there is something available for everyone. GoodFood also now offers grocery delivery, holiday kits, breakfast options, and ready-to-eat meals, so you can get anything and everything you need.

Holiday Promo: Get $120 off with your first deliveries and skip the grocery line! $60 off each of your first 2 baskets (New clients only)

Which, if any, food subscription services do you use? Any new or exciting options that I should know about? Leave your recommendations in the comments and I’ll definitely check them out!
