The Sweet Potato + Wild Rice Hash was delicious, and it kept me full — but not weighed down or stuffed — for longer than I would expect a breakfast (healthy or not) to. Daily Harvest would likely attribute this to the all-star ingredients of sweet potato and wild rice for slow-burning energy. The avocado was a great addition, and the warm mushrooms were tasty — and they supposedly boost immune support. The only thing I was more excited about that taste and nutrition is that the extent of preparation was just dumping this cup into a microwave-safe bowl. — Mara Leighton, reporter
I really liked Daily Harvest's cheese grits. Granted, they weren't really anything like cheese grits, but they tasted delicious. The mushrooms gave it a heartier feel and earthier flavor, and I felt full after eating a bowl at work (and it usually takes a lot for me to feel full in the morning). — Sally Kaplan, editor
This bowl was tasty, and that's surprising coming from someone who wouldn't call themselves a fan of dill. It's going to look lean, and you may need to supplement it later on in the day, but it will give you the sort of clean energy that feels light — never weighed down. The crunchy seed blend was a great texture and a good source of protein, and broccoli rice and coconut cream were delicious under lemon-dill dressing. All in all, a good breakfast, though you may be a little underwhelmed by the portion size. — Mara Leighton, reporter
I tried the Butternut Squash Harvest Bowl as well, and it was pretty good, but not as delicious as the cheese grits. It felt a lot like a grain bowl minus the grains, and didn't quite satiate my breakfast-food craving. What I did like about it, though, was that the butternut squash wasn't so sweet that it negated the idea of this being a savory bowl. If you love butternut squash and don't generally eat large breakfasts, you may really enjoy this one. It just wasn't my top choice.— Sally Kaplan, editor
Overall, we found the foods to be delicious and, for the most part, filling. However, $7 can feel like a lot of money for a daily breakfast. Though, as Sally put it, "If you plan on just keeping these around for those super-busy mornings when you need a quick, savory alternative to your regular oatmeal, it feels worth the investment. Plus, you're really paying for the convenience, which is worth it for busy days."
If you're someone who reliably meal preps, and you're savvy with perishable groceries, this may not be as appealing. If you hate cooking, lead a busy lifestyle, and/or are trying to be healthy — and you don't mind spending $7 on breakfast — then you're a great candidate for Daily Harvest. Taste, nutrition, and convenience are not concerns here. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you're curious, and figuring out if you just keep them around for busy mornings or if you commit to a more in-depth subscription.
