Once upon a time I wrote a blog post about Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen recommendations. Many months later I received a phone call from a brand new company, LeafSide, that is developing shelf-stable meal packs that make it easy to meet Dr. Greger’s nutritional recommendations. This excited me primarily for two reasons.

2. Sometimes (well, often!) I don’t feel like assembling a meal. I’m busy. I’m impatient. I don’t like spending much time in the kitchen. But I know how important a healthful diet is for wellness so I often end up eating very simple whole food, plant-based dishes or monomeals. LeafSide SOLVES my hurdles!
It means very little work! LeafSide removes over 90% of the work of healthy eating: no planning, shopping, washing, cutting, measuring, cooking, or cleaning.
It means that it fits your life! LeafSide meal packs are shelf-stable (ie: no fridge needed), last for months, and easily goes places with you: pantry, office, hotel, camping, school, etc. Consume where and when you like and no throwing out stale food!
It means no compromises! When you’re pressed for time (or when traveling) you can reject the status quo of unhealthy fast food, because LeafSide finally delivers healthy convenience. In particular, stir-bowls are ideal for traveling because they just require hot water and a container.
Well, what does “complete nutrition” mean?
Real meals! Each LeafSide pack is a 500 to 750 calorie meal, designed by professional chefs to taste great and to keep you full for up to 5 hours.
Real food! LeafSide uses only plant-based whole foods. The meal packs are currently over 90% organic with each ingredient carefully screened for quality. (LeafSide is in the process of having 100% of the ingredients be USDA organic.) They use no fillers or artificial ingredients. You can see the real food and you can pronounce everything on the ingredients list. And they have no added oil or sugar! Added salt is a healthful minimal combination of sea salt and miso powder and soon LeafSide will offer a zero salt option. And they are B12 fortified! Can it get any better?
LeafSide offers 4 meal types: sweet smoothies, savory soups, sweet bowls, and savory bowls. Remember one sweet and one savory meets Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen recommendations! Of course you’re not limited to just 2 LeafSide meals a day.
Right now there are 16 different meal packs: 4 soups, 6 smoothies and 6 stir-bowls. You could enjoy two meal packs per day for a week and never repeat a meal!
Let me show you more in this video:
No way! Stir-bowls are $8.99, smoothies are $7.99, and soups are $6.99. You can save more money by ordering pre-selected assortments and get free shipping on orders of $99 or more! For example the Om Box which has one of everything (16 meals total) is $119.99 with free shipping so that averages out to just $7.50 per meal.
Show me where you’re going to find quick-and-easy-to-prepare hearty, filling meal packs that contain 20-30 highly recommended whole plant foods for just $7.50 (average) each. Wait! I’ll show you! It’s LeafSide. They are now accepting new beta customers and you can sign up here.
