EAT WELL

Written by Kim Hashemi

It’s important now more than ever to feed our bodies with nutritious and whole foods to keep our immune systems strong and minds clear. You may be enjoying the extra time you have testing out new recipes in the kitchen, but if cooking feels like an added chore or you’re looking to lighten the workload a few times a week while still enjoying healthy meals, here are a few delivery companies that offer nutrient dense and delicious meals and snacks right to your door.

Offering macro-balanced, low-carb and plant-based options, Klean delivers customizable organic and sustainable meals throughout California with exciting add ons like fresh juices, sides, and a personal favorite, vegan chocolate truffles. Choose from individual meals, single juices and juice packs as well as Klean’s ‘Ignite’ program which is designed to flush fat and toxins while nourishing the digestive tract. kleanla.com

Sakara’s Signature Meal Program offers plant-rich, chef crafted organic meals with nationwide delivery. The program can be customized to include 3 or 5 days of clean, organic, ready-to-eat meals. With each delivery comes daily tea and functional supplements and access to holistic health coaching. If you’re feeling in need of a deep cleanse, challenge yourself to Sakara’s Level II Detox which involves a 5-day organic, whole-food, plant-based cleanse, daily kefir, digestive tea, water drops, and medical-grade supplements, plus daily check-ins from a holistic health coach, to release years of toxic-buildup, reboot the metabolism, and heal the gut. sakara.com

Support a community business while stocking up on pesticide-free, locally grown fruits and vegetables, artisan snacks, flowers, and fresh sourdough bread from Sweet Wheel Farm & Flowers. Created after the Thomas Fire and debris flow that left Summerland residents without access to fresh food, Sweet Wheel offers food and flowers sourced from farmers all over Santa Barbara County. Organic quail eggs, medjool dates, pickled vegetables, and bacon avocados are among the flavorsome offerings. Visit the Swedish bicycle cart at 2285 Lillie Avenue in Summerland to pick up your goods or place your order by phone for farm box delivery. * sweetwheelfarms.com
