I love to cook.
I also really love to grocery shop.
My passion for shopping has kept me from trying most meal delivery services. However… I couldn’t pass up a chance to try out Terra’s Kitchen healthy meal delivery.
FYI: “Terra” refers to the Earth, not a person.
Terra’s makes an effort to source organic, non-GMO ingredients. (Yes, I did thoroughly inspect their options before considering even a free trial.)
One look at their recipes and I was hooked. There are a huge variety of meals to choose from – literally something to fit any dietary need or lifestyle. You can even sort by low-calorie, Paleo, gluten-free, or vegetarian options!
The climate controlled shipping container impressed me as well. Vegas and I both explored the shelves of ingredients with our mouths agape. Even more impressive – it’s eco-friendly and reusable! After unpacking your food, all you have to do is peel off the shipping label to reveal a pre-paid return label and place the vessel back outside to be picked up the next day.
Back to my penchant for grocery shopping. I absolutely never use meal or grocery delivery sevrices because I am super picky about my produce and meat. I like to be sure everything is fresh and to my liking.
The ingredients we received from Terra’s were cool and looked just as fresh as items I’d pick for myself at my local grocery store! Even better – all of the ingredients were portioned out and pre-chopped. My knife skills are terrible, so this is key.
Our order included four meals. I selected mostly lower calorie, or gluten-free meals because we were trying to take it easy before leaving for pasta heaven (a.k.a. Italy). It was fantastic timing since we’d just returned from another tip and didn’t have much or anything in the fridge.
The recipes we received were quick, easy, and fun to make! Despite being a pretty avid cook, I got a lot of ideas from these recipes. For example, blending goat cheese and avocado. DE. LICIOUS.
Grilled Chicken Tacos with Avocado Goat Cheese Sauce
Did I mention the meals were quick?! I literally timed each one of these; I made them in less than 25 minutes. Having all the ingredients pre-portioned and prepped is a HUGE time saver.
The above tacos were made in a hangry emergency one night. I timed it; the whole thing took just 18 minutes.
Turkey Spinach Meatballs in Skinny Sunday Gravy
The recipe cards are fantastic too. They’re printed on good-quality paper so you can save them in a binder. The instructions are clear, and they include wine and beer pairing suggestions!
Even Vegas (who is not a fan of fish) liked this Pecan-Crusted Tilapia with Lemony Fennel-Arugula Salad. After we had all 4 meals, she said she couldn’t choose a favorite!

Here’s what I ate right before flying off to Italy. It got a little sketchy…
- Breakfast: Balsamic roasted Brussels and tomatoes with bacon, then topped with egg and eaten with a side of more bacon. Because anything topped with egg – breakfast.
- Lunch: Lacking groceries, lunch was random… turkey, salsa, and left over veggies.
- Snack: Kabocha bowl sauced with a mix of peanut flour and Growing Naturals chocolate rice protein. I added cinnamon, a little vanilla liquid stevia, and almond milk (to thin). Topped with chia seed “sprinkles.”
- Dinner: Terra’s Kitchen saved the day with a delicious, quick meal. Oven-Fried Chicken and Lemon Rainbow Slaw. We added some wine. 😉

Here’s the real proof of how much I loved Terra’s – I’ve already placed my order for when we return from Italy. It’s going to be amazing to come home to healthy, fresh meals!
Have you tried a meal delivery service before?
Have you ever blended avocado and goat cheese? You must try it!

Yum avocado and goat cheese sounds amazing!! As does that kabocha bowl. Have a great time!!
Thank you! And yes – they were both good. You MUST try the avocado thing!
Blending goat cheese and avocado….MIND BLOWN!!! I have a feeling that line right there might be life changing in our house 🙂
Right?! I took the idea and did it with hummus later in the week. Also a win!
I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I SO SO DID DID THINK IT REFERRED TO THE EARTH AND NOT A PERSON 🙂 🙂
I need to give SOMETHING a try as Im in a dinner rut so deep I just wanna live here and call it home…..

SAME. PAGE.
Do the avocado thing. and the meatballs – it’s literally just spinach, garlic, olive oils, and turkey. So good!
I’m pretty sure they don’t deliver WAY out in my neck of the woods but, I have tried quite a few services like this one and LOVE!! Mostly b/c, unlike you, I both hate cooking AND grocery shopping! #makeitstop
I bet they do! It was a FedEx delivery. Super easy and that packaging… it was epic.
But really we should just be neighbors. you could teach me to swim and I could cook. Vegas will pour the wine. 😉
Love love love that kabocha & PB combo. It’s even better than sweet potato and peanut butter. I love working with peanut flour to make stuff like that.
I totally agree! How do people still think that’s a weird combo, btw?!
I love goat cheese and avocado, but never thought of blending them! All these Terra’s Kitchen meals look delicious, I couldn’t choose a favorite either. I tried Blue Apron once and it was fun making new recipes I had never had, it did take a lot longer than I expected to cook. So that’s nice to know Terra’s Kitchen is quick. Great idea to order it when you get back from vacation and don’t have anything in the fridge or feel like cooking. Have so much fun in Italy!
I’ve never tried Blue, but this one really was fast – I think it would be quick and easy for even the most inexperienced cook.
Soy-glaze salmon will be waiting for me upon return. Mmmmm…
I want to try this! The food sounds amazing. I wish I could Italy. Maybe once I’m walking again. I’m already bored of recovery from surgery. P.S. I tried submitting way too many times on the tapinfluence and it wouldn’t let me. 🙁
OMG – I can only image that boredom. Well, I guess I know… between the boobs, the ankle, the ACL, and now the hamstring… it’s hard out there for a pimp. 😉
Hope you’re healing quickly. I’m trying to get to Phoenix in the net couple of months for work. Fingers crossed!
I always have the same fear about meal delivery services. Even my husband isn’t as good at picking out produce as I am!
I feel you. I don’t trust Vegas AT ALL. 🙂
I have a gift certificate to Terra’s Kitchen that I need to use! this post just reminded me! 🙂 The food looks awesome!
Doooooo it! They just added a bunch of new recipes. Definitely try the meatballs if you haven’t though!
I totally have to try Terra’s kitchen now! That pecan-crusted tilapia sounds amazing!
Let me know if you do! I was incredibly surprised by how quick and easy every recipe was. They looked so fancy!
These pre-prepared meals have always fascinated me; we do buy frozen pizzas sometimes but not usually these kinds of meals. They look really fun; I might do them if I was single and living by myself, but they might be a bit expensive for our family. However I really love reading about other people’s experiences with them.
Have fun in Italy; it’s a beautiful country.
I need something like this in my life right now. Quick, easy and healthy. It sounds wonderful.
Have a fantastic trip.
Looking good, these meals! I have never tried blending avocado and goat cheese yet, definitely giving it a try!
