Good morning and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a healthy and delicious giveaway to kick start a new week.
About a month ago, an organic meal delivery service called Fresh n’ Lean reached out to me with an opportunity to review their meals and share my experience with you. They immediately agreed to help me host a giveaway, so I enthusiastically jumped on board and was thrilled to receive my complimentary box of three entrées and two breakfasts last week!
Fresh n’ Lean is a 100% plant-based food delivery service that prepares and delivers premium quality, organic, gluten-free, and fresh meals nationwide. All of their meals are made to order, vegan, and rich with nutrients using locally sourced, in-season produce.
Everything I tried tasted decadent and fresh, and I had no idea the meals were vegan-friendly until I saw it on the website later on! The dinners were extremely savory, and the breakfasts tasted more like dessert. I was sad to see my supply run out so soon!
Since Scott was out of town when I received my delivery (meals arrive on Fridays in a cooler full of special microwave and oven safe containers and ice packs), I asked my friend Alex to help me test out the entrées. She was more than down for a girl’s night in, and we dug into two of the meals shortly after a run around the neighborhood.
I saved the breakfasts and one of the dinners to make when Scott returned, and I am pleased to report that everyone loved everything! My personal favorites were the breakfasts (I’m still dreaming about those muffins… yum!), but I thoroughly enjoyed tasting all of the entrées, too.
The preparation is super simple. You can keep the meals in their containers (if you’d like) and choose to heat them up in the microwave, place them in the oven, or transfer them into a pan and heat them up on the stovetop.
I used the oven for everything except the chia for the sake of time on that particular morning.
Here’s a look at what was on my menu:
• Maple Cinnamon Crunch Muffins
Oh my goodness, these muffins.
I wasn’t expecting them to be as fluffy and flavorful as they were. As soon as I bit into one, I made Scott try the other half and I had to tear it away from him to eat the rest in peace. Delicious!
• Cumin, Carrot, and Pinto Beans
This dish had an interesting flavor that I loved.
I’m a big fan of pinto beans, so I was all over it.
• Cream of Cauliflower Pasta
The pasta was especially dreamy. I could have eaten another five plates of it, yet the amount offered as a serving was satisfying and filling.
I loved the combination of cauliflower and noodles. I’d love to find a similar recipe to this and make it at home!
• Mango Coconut Chia
I heated this one up and brought it with me on the way to work last week. I didn’t think I needed to heat it up, however, since most chia puddings I’ve made and tried before are usually served cold. Warming it up took it to a new level!
The mango and coconut flavor really came out, and it made me second guess the way I have been eating chia all along. I must remake something similar!
• Greek Beans and Collard Greens
This dinner was probably my least favorite out of all of them, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t still great.
Once again, I was immediately on board with the beans and enjoyed the flavors and seasonings.
***
While these meals are low in sodium (win!), they are still full of flavor. Even so, Fresh n’ Lean offers these tips from the chef to play with the spice and flavor levels.
The price of this service depends on what you’re looking for, but generally, you can expect to pay $27.99 per day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to be delivered to your doorstep.
If you’re looking lose weight, maintain your current healthy diet, or just want to fill your plate with affordable, organic ingredients, you’re bound to love Fresh n’ Lean! This meal value and comparison sheet helps break down what you’re getting versus other avenues of eating and ordering out.
I don’t know about you, but I like the calorie content and price tag of this service!

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Id lovE to try any of the pasta disHe’s!
Out of all of the meals that you tried, the Coconut Mango Chia sounds the best and most intriguing. On the website, the other meals that I would like to try are the Hearty Granola and Pineapple Oatmeal.
I’d love to try those muffins! 🙂

I would love to try those muffins!
I’d love to try the cream of cauliflower pasta! I’ve been meaning to try something like this but haven’t yet. Oh and the muffins sound amazing, too!
The cumin, carrot, and pinto beans sounds like a great flavor combination. I’d pick that meal to try!
The muffin!! Although I’m intrigued by the chia pudding since I haven’t yet taken the plunge to use chia in my meals.
I’d like to try the cream of cauliflower!
Those muffins and the cauliflower pasta look incredible. From their website, the Tex Mex Quinoa looks great too!

I would love to try that pasta dish!
Sounds tasty and healthy! Pineapple oatmeal sounds like a great way to dream about summer in the middle of the cold northern winters!
All, the muffins and granola. The Creamy Cauliflower looks good too. I’m currently do a meal service through a local restaurant and when they started it the dinners were pretty healthy but they no longer post the macro contents and the portions are bigger so I’m ready to either find something new or go back to my own cooking.
Would love to try the chia pudding or cauliflower pasta!
This looks awesome! So up my alley. I currently buy organic at the grocery store and prepare meals at home. It’s expensive and a lot of work but I do it for optimal health. I would love to try the muffins! They are pretty much my fav food
Those muffins! And that cauliflower pasta! yum.
wow looks so good! would love to try the st. barths white bean and veggies and the tex mex quinoa !
Oh goodness, that chia pudding looks amazing! I would love to try that one!
definitely the tex mex quinoa! 🙂
I think the Cream of Cauliflower pasta looks good.
Wait, why haven’t I ever heated up my chia puddings either? Added to my to-do list!
The cauliflower pasta, the tex-mex quinoa, and the muffins all look amazing!!

The muffins and the pasta dish are the bomb!
I would love to try the chia…I’ve never had that before. I’ve been thinking about trying one of these meal delivery services for awhile now so it was good to hear about this one!
I would absolutely love to try these!!

Cream of Cauliflower Pasta
Those muffins look absolutely amazing!!
The maple grain muffins look amazing as well as the creamy cauliflower pasta. Everything looks absolutely amazing!
Cream of cauliflower pasta sounds yummy!
Would love to try the cauliflower pasta and the muffins!
The cumin, carrot and pinto beans looks good to me! I’d also like to try the Thai Town Curry Rice
I wish we will have something like this in my country too soon. Chances are high as some multi billionaire companies like amazon and few others are trying to penetrate into grocery market and offering home delivery etc, but it will still take a lot of time as it is hard to change the mindset of people, plus there is big difference in the prices they are offering and the standard market price.

I’m super into cauliflower right now, so I would love to try that pasta!
I’d love to try the Coconut Bali Veggies with Brown Rice!
I like the cumin lentil dish and the creamy cauliflower. Both are something I would not think to make on my own, or just don’t have the time. The Thai town curry rice looks yummy on their website. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think the greek beans and collard greens looks amaze! I love beans as a way to get in protein and fiber so love they incorporate so many into their meals!
I would love to try the Mango coconut chia! Sounds like a good breakfast!
Mmm, the Tex Mex Quinoa dish looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Ooh, scratch that, it was that Greek Bean and Collard Greens dish that really looked just heavenly!
This sounds like a great service. Even though I’m not vegan I am trying to cut back on the amount of meat I eat and this sounds like a great way for me to start.

I’d inhale those muffins

The chia pudding looks amazing. I have to admit I have never tried chia pudding before and I always want to! But for some reason I can never remember to grab a bag of it at the store…. also kind of not so sure about it haha but it looks good and I know it’s nutritious!

I want to try the cream of cauliflower pasta
I would love to try the cream of cauliflower pasta. I can never get cauliflower sauces or soups blended just right…. This would be great to take lunch to work. I hate packing it, and it would definitely add some variety!
Coconut Bali Veggies with Brown Rice looks amazing. I probably would de-veganize it and add some chicken or maybe some tofu or something because I would need some more protein in order to make it a meal.
I think that this is an amazing service.
The muffins sound awesome !!

The cumin, carrots & pintos! YUM!
April V recently posted…So Good You’ll Slap Your Mama!
Definitely the cauliflower!
Cream of Cauliflower Pasta looks good. I just wonder if any of it will. Most frozen meals don’t taste good. If they do, I’ll shout it on the rooftops.
Cumin, Carrot, and Pinto Beans sounds very good. I would also like to try French Riviera Lentils with Kale .
The maple cinnamon crunch muffins look awesome!
