Wholesome2Go

I’ve tried many many food and meal delivery companies and I have to say that Wholesome2Go is officially my favorite so far! Being a health and nutrition professional, it’s really important that my clients are able to count on the meals being done properly to the specifications of the program we do in my office. Wholesome2Go solves any guesswork for my clients. They follow our specifications to a tee! On top of that I’ve never had an issue with delivery or customer service. They really care about you and want you to be happy. They even check in to see how you liked it and they work with you to resolve any issues that might come up. I’ve worked with meal delivery companies in the past that you can’t even get to return your call! Do yourself a favor and sign up with Wholesome2go and you can be sure that you’re taking care of your health properly and enjoy the food because it tastes so good too!

Day 1 — So far, so bad… Even though my preferences clearly state NO chicken… you guessed it — my first delivery includes a smelly chicken meal that stinks like rotting flesh, because even though I picked it up from my doorstep at only 9 pm, it must have been in transit for at least a day or so. Ice packs were melted… Golly, I should have read the Unilocal reviews before I ordered from this service.

Such a great way to get back on track!
I do the sugar detox 14 day program whenever I’m feeling like the sugar in my system is out of control. it always does the trick and i’m always so amazed at the creativity of my meals. I have to say the food is great, organic and so fresh. AND if ever I have a question or issue, it’s been answered quickly, even after hours. (I thought i had gotten a red meat dish which i don’t eat but in fact, it was chicken with a deep red sauce… James called me back on a Sunday. Nice!) My feeling of bloatedness goes away after the first week and my fogginess is completely gone after week 2… and I’m not starving like I feel when I used to juice cleanse!!! It’s one of the best alternatives out there.
One suggestion I would make would be to make sure you have a safe, cool (temperature wise) place to drop off the bag. They put my bag under the swing on my front porch area. I set that up after reading the reviews. There’s a solution for everything!

It doesn’t matter if the food is healthy or delicious, because the food was often delivered to me in black cooler bags with ice packs that aren’t always frozen, often mildly cold. And they are left in the sun, which, even at 6am, absorb enough Los Angeles sun to often leave the food between 50 and 70 degrees.
Meat, fish, and cheese, all there to sit in dangerous temperatures and risk dangerous eating conditions. Even after dozens of emails about this, this situation was never rectified. Beware!

In my lengthy trial and error search of finding a healthy food delivery service, these guys are certainly my favorite. Quality, taste, portion size and freshness have all been fantastic. And from a service perspective, they are incredibly responsive to questions, and requests. I also love the flexibility of how I can order. I can order as few as one meal a week or go to a standard monthly delivery. They are the best. They are more costly than the competition, however you do get what you pay for! If you can afford the additional cost, it is well worth it.

Another excellent experience with wholesome2go. I use the service specifically for intermittent sugar detoxes, which I find to be an incredible way to lose weight and gain energy, health etc. quickly, efficiently and safely. I was not disappointed. This time I used the service for only seven days, and I lost thirteen pounds. There is a very specific chemical process in your body that is invited to play when you use this plan. It gives you five meals a day that have no: grains, sugar, soy, dairy, very few carbs etc. TONS of roughage. I’m not going to say the meals melt your mouth every time because they don’t = it’s more that they are surprisingly tasty FOR BEING SUPER HEALTHY. Amazing barbecued chicken, hard to believe no sugar in the sauce. Almond pancakes. Lentil soup. And even with those good things, your body still goes into ketosis and you begin breaking down fat very fast. Expect to be pretty tired the first few days. Since I was giving up coffee too it was like having a mild flu. Quite fatigued. Then you feel MUCH better. I find this to be an amazing modular tool in my fitness arsenal — I like to do the detox after holidays or periods that are more indulgent. Great service. Really good food. Most of all, the best results one could imagine in the least amount of time.

It was time to get back to basics and get on the program so I decided to do the 2 week Sugar Detox. As predicted, I am definitely feeling the benefits and am thrilled that i decided to do this with Wholesome2Go. This is my 3^rd time with this service and each time I am refocused and rejuvenated. It’s exactly what i needed and i am committed to staying the course. The principals are basic but practicing them on a daily basis is often not easy. Thank you for getting me back on track. It was a pleasure.
Cheers!

It hunger pains me to put up just one star, but my week long experience with this meal delivery service was less than stellar.
I signed up for the vegetarian dinners, thinking of the convenience factor of having a dinner ready for you after the long grind.
I kid you not when I say I only attempted to each one meal and ended throwing away everyone other one for the week.
There is no description of what you are eating and each meal is as bland as the next. There were two nearly identical dinners given within a week and needless to say it went straight to the trash.
And the delivery service itself had issues. They took my keys and didn’t pick up the bag the next day. On my very last delivery, they left the bag in my front yard for four days before someone finally came back for it.
I was definitely disappointed by the lack of variety, especially vegetables, lack of taste and lack of on the ball delivery service.
Sadly, it’s back to the kitchen for me to cook my own meals.

My husband and I wanted to find a good option for healthy food delivery – fresh ingredients, farm to table, organic and delicious. We were impressed by Wholesome2Go’s website and reviews and we noticed that they offer diet or detox programs but we went ahead with the regular program since we’re not looking for diet or detox — just good food for everyday life. Boy, were we disappointed!
The portions are absolutely unreasonable. They are portioned out for those on a strict calorie counting diet. We are not big eaters but these portions are not within reasonable daily calorie allotments. The food does not come with menus so you have no idea what you’re eating. And, ironically although you order by the day of the week, the food has no variation. In other words, I received chicken salad for lunch followed by chicken for dinner. Then, two days in a row, we received a protein (which we think might have been tofu one night and chicken the next — very difficult to identify) with a green vegetable and brown rice. I was really shocked by how little thought seemed to have gone into this process.
The food itself is not too bad. Some of the sauces are tasty. I think they just need to tweak the portion sizes and organize the week’s order so that folks can enjoy their meals as a part of a larger plan.

I work out of my home most of the time and have been considering a meal delivery service to save time; I also wanted to make sure the service I chose provided healthy food. Based on Wholesome2Go’s great reviews I went ahead and signed up for the one-​day trial. All the meals were fresh and tasted good, and I especially liked breakfast, lunch, and dessert. Everyone I dealt with at the company was very nice and responsive.
I may sign up for one of their longer-​term plans after the holidays. The only downside in my case is I live outside their normal delivery area and therefore I would have to pay an additional charge. Once more people in my area sign up the delivery charge will be reduced.
I do plan on recommending them to friends who I think would benefit from their service.

I LOOOOVE sugar, carbs, crunchy, salty. Many times I’d realize at the end of the day that all of my meals consisted of muffins, proteins bars, chips… anything quick and easy, but no actual REAL food.
I opted to try W2G Sugar Control Detox because I was tired of the high/​low energy swings, difficulty sleeping (unless I ate enough to put me into «food coma»), bad skin and cranky moods. But I’ll be honest, what I really wanted was a quick 2-​week fix to lose some weight before going home for the holidays. I was skeptical going in that W2G could recalibrate my tastes long term, but the Unilocal reviews were so positive that I decided to give it a shot.
Day 1 my body still hadn’t realized this wasn’t just another one of my very brief attempts at clean eating so it was fine.
Day 2 she started complaining in the form of low energy but my mind stayed firm on sticking to the plan
Day 3 she threw headaches into the mix to see if I would break but my mind said, «You already paid in full for this service so no turning back!»
Day 4 This was my over-​the-​hump day. Headaches gone, energy up, sleeping better and even feeling overly optimistic for no apparent reason.
The next couple of days were mostly a breeze (sometimes my mind out of habit would say, «ya sure you don’t want that cookie, candy bar, cupcake, latte?!» but I held firm promising myself that if I still wanted it on Day 15 I would eat it).
I knew something had really changed in me when I ate the mixed berries that came with breakfast and they tasted so sweet it may as well have been a double chocolate cupcake. Oh, how I savored those berries! That’s when I realized that not only was I eating more food, read food, filling food, but I was also enjoying it so much that I was actually TASTING and SAVORING it. (Usually I’d wolf down my happy foods in glee barely registering the 1^st handful of chips… so I’d have another handful… and another… and another… Wait, what, the bag is already empty??)
The 2^nd week flew by for me. Every day I felt better, clearer, happier, lighter. What a tremendous wake-​up call to how deeply what you eat affects every part of you and your life. I didn’t want my days on the SCD to end. I was eating pancakes, «cheesy» biscuits, steaks, crepes and enchiladas all the while losing weight and feeling good. It was a 5-​Star restaurant and cheerleader delivered to my door and email every night!
In the end, I lost 9 lbs and curtailed my cravings. But more than weight or how I looked (amazing! :) I felt like a whole new person, as if I wasn’t battling AGAINST myself anymore. Every part of me was working in sync. I’ve done so many diets, but no eating plan has ever put my mind and body on the same page. I still can’t believe how simply switching to a whole food eating plan can have such a profound impact on more than just your shrinking waistline.
Thank you Chef James and the whole W2G team. You quickly answered every email, call, concern, accommodated food dislikes and would even check in to see how I was doing. I felt like I had a best friend at my side every step of the way. Wholesome 2 Go is the best meal delivery service I’ve ever done (and I’ve tried them all!)

I have ordered from several companies over the years… none of which were appetizing, but they did help me loose weight. As I’ve gotten older, my palate has become more ‘finicky.’ I’m getting married next year, and I want to look amazing in that dress. So I tried bistro md last week. There were a couple good meals, but the vast majority were bland, and left me feeling like I’d rather be fat. Then I decided to try this company. Can’t go wrong with five stars, right? At first I was very frustrated because apparently the internet site is new, so I go accidentally charged twice for one order. Very annoying. An omen? But then I tasted their food… basically I would call it restaurant quality but in smaller portions. I really don’t give an f about gluten free, farm raised, yada yada yada. I just want my food to be portion controlled and yummy. And that’s what I got. I’m very impressed.

Full disclosure: I don’t know these people but I want to refer to them as «My Loves the Food Fairies, Angels of Meals.»
I signed up because I saw the reviews here and I can now competently state that the food is in fact delicious. That was no exaggeration on the part of my reviewer colleagues. The meal I just finished was OMG delicious. Some are just regular good/​yummy. All of the food is incredibly vibrant, healthy and fresh, and just so perfectly cooked! The praise has to go to the talent of the chef, because the execution of all this healthful deliciousness is quite clever.
I signed up because I was feeling exhausted, run down, puffy and undernourished. I now feel better fed than if I had a farmer grandma making me veggies every few hours over a cast-​iron stove. My skin is glowing, too, that was a nice plus.
It costs a bit, true, but put two weeks of the Sugar Control Detox on a card and consider it money well-​spent. Do it anytime you feel terrible and you need self-​care. Customer service very warm as well. They send cute little videos too.
After 6 days of eating every two hours I have lost 4 or 5 pounds, even though (a) I didn’t *really* need to lose weight and (b) I took two days off to go to a wedding where I drank a half bottle of wine and had four desserts (Fail!) and © I don’t exercise. Maybe it was just water, but I’m not complaining. Plus I have another 8 days to go.
I have used two competitors a few years ago and I found them good/​fine, worthy of praise, sometimes inconsistent. Each company has a slightly different food philosophy. I’m sure there are others great services out there, but something about this one really sets it apart: It is really the finest I have tried. The difference in price may account for the difference in quality of the food, local sourcing, attention to detail, etc.

I am really, really happy with the W2G. This is the 3^rd meal prep/​delivery service I’ve tried, and I’ve been waiting for the ball to drop for the 3^rd time with W2G… but it hasn’t. These guys are consistently providing healthy, whole, real foods to me and the taste is amazing.
I am getting (and eating) so many veggies now, that when I eat in restaurants, the side of veggies (which one usually has to arrange with the server) seem so small. I feel great after eating the food too. Great all day. Lastly, and call me hokey if you will… I can tell that the person/​people behind the creation of each meal put a lot of love and care into each one, and they want the meals to be the best they can be. I feel little goofy voicing this thought, but I can really sense this, just as I can sense when something is done to meet a requirement or bottom line — W2G walks the walk. And they’ve accommodating every single one of my requests.
People ask me about the cost. Well, its more $ than most are used to spending on food, but that does’t mean its too expensive. It’s all relative and what is important to you. I did the math — I don’t have time to plan/​drive to store/​shop/​prep/​cook/​clean meals for myself, so am always picking up food or eating out. So I can spend $ 30-​$ 40/​day easily like this. Yes, I try to find the «healthiest» restaurants to do this, but I have yet to find a restaurant that can provide the quality of meals form W2G. And I know everything is GF, so that is a MASSIVE time saver and one less thing to have to research and double check. Time is money, so for me this all balances out. I rated them $$ (not $$$) because I’m comparing what you get for your money compared to other meal delivery services.
Just be prepared, once you get used to eating these real whole foods, it becomes difficult to consume a typical restaurant meal… they don’t look or taste as clean to me anymore.
If you’re in LA and shopping for the best meal delivery service — you can outsource the research to me, I’ve already done it. W2G is the winner.

Wholesome2Go is the best meal delivery service I’ve had, and I’ve tried a lot of them over the years. The food is high quality and well… very wholesome! :-) None of the food has gone bad by the time I received it, and none of it is processed or purchased pre-​made; they make everything fresh. It all healthy, fresh, locally farmed whole foods. Lots of high quality proteins and low glycemic vegetables… and no sugar, grains, soy, dairy — all the things I’m completely addicted to. In addition, they are organized, super accommodating, and their customer service is great.
A little background: I love eating a whole foods based diet, but I had gotten into a really bad rut with my food. I was drinking Starbucks every morning, not drinking enough water during the day to make up for my coffee, let alone hydrate myself, and I was eating a lot of starchy, sugary, sodium-​laden food (and way too much of it!). My sugar and carb cravings were out of control. All I wanted to eat was sugary food, then salty food, then sugar, then salt. It was pretty bad. My energy was low, my clothes didn’t fit anymore, and I knew I had to make some serious changes to get back to feeling good and eating the way I like to eat — wholesome and healthy (and actually enjoying it).
So when I found Wholesome2go’s Sugar Control Detox plan, I knew I had to try it. At first I thought I could put a plan together and do it myself, but I quickly realized I don’t have the time (or the willpower, right now anyway) to do it myself. It’s a bit pricey, and the cost is tough for me to do, but since I was probably spending around $ 30/​day on food (with all the dining out I was doing, usually with wine, it could have been higher than that), I view the additional cost as hiring an assistant for a period of time to do the meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking for me, and to teach me how and what I should be eating and proper portion sizes. It’s sort of like having a personal chef and trainer to help me get in a better place, physically and mentally!
I will have to update this review when I finish, so I can report whether it breaks my sugar cravings and how much weight I lose. I’m only 4 days in, but I am really enjoying the food. Don’t get me wrong, going from eating the way I was eating, to eating this healthy and clean has been really tough, and my body and mind are certainly being challenged, but I’m excited to keep going and see the results. My body should be kicking into fat burning mode, so it should only get easier from here! :-) And with regards to my sugar cravings, my favorite «sweet» that I get right now is butternut squash… YUM… so if butternut squash is like dessert to me, some good changes must be happening :-)

I was very skeptical. But, the 2 week Sugar Control Detox program was great. It opened my eyes to eating differently. It really reset my palate. I would have never been able to do it on my own. They drop your food off at your front door every day… so easy.
I eat much healthier now. In fact I am now doing it again. I plan to do it twice a year to keep me in line.
Highly recommended for people who want to loose weight or just eat healthier.

I’ve registered this Saturday morning, hoping to start the program on Monday, and was very happy to hear back from W2Go right away, even though it was a weekend.
Today is my first day on the program, and I’m so very pleased to say that it is as good as described, and as I’ve expected. Very pleased with the service, taste, ingredients — very top notch!
I did not choose to include a dessert with my program, however, based on other reviews — would most likely to add some in the future. Something sweet to look forward to!

I tried and completed the 14 day Sugar Control Detox Plan (SCD Plan) through Wholesome To Go.
I travel a lot for work & can often be catered for when working on set and traveling. However it isn’t always food I would choose myself. So it’s important for me after a big trip to check in with my diet.
I really loved the food provided by Chef James & Co. It was fresh, yummy & very filling. The delivery man spoke with us for some time to ensure that we would be getting our meals properly and we knew what to expect.
Interestingly, My cravings for morning coffee vanished completely. I actually enjoy coffee for the taste. I don’t need it to wake up. But come week 2 I found it all a bit much & realised I was running on my bodies natural stimulant and any extra simply wasn’t required. Bonus!
Having fresh food delivered daily to my door, what a treat! No frozen meals at all. Honest, tasty, wholesome food ready for my busy days ahead, that was a nice treat. I really appreciated that. I had several days on set and it’s so easy to get tempted and end up snacking at the Craft Services table. I didn’t need to. My meals were perfect and that suited my long days where I needed things taken care for me.
WTG delivered before 7am, which was wonderful. Esp as someone whose call time was 7am. I could open the door and head to set with my food ready and waiting for me. Perfect.
Seriously, I can’t say that enough, the food was delicious! I’ve always wondered «how would I cook chard» now I am confident when to use it in a meal.
I would definitely recommend the SCD Plan. The SCD Plan brings awareness to your body of how dependent you can become on sugar. (even those of us who can be strict, it sneaks in!) I’m a fairly healthy person, but I didn’t realise how many slip ups I was allowing into my diet. I already live a gluten free lifestyle but a few too many gluten free sugary treats had creeped into my daily habits.
The pricing. Lets think about this: If you live a healthy diet on the go or less than what Chef James offers, I take my hat off to you. I have done several juice cleanses that were the same price for 5 days! Not 7! Considering industry standard for this type of healthy food prepared & delivered with such freshness every day, I’m going to list the price as moderate to Pricey. It’s all relative. I’ve seen 3 day juice cleanses for the same price. You’re getting 5 meals a day here. It’s excellent. All allergen free and MEAT! Meat is crucial. I enjoy it.
Overall, I highly recommend the food by Chef James and the team at Wholesome to Go.

I ordered some food off the no sugar detox as they said if I’m trying to lean out that that is the way to go! So I committed to a week being that a lot of these companies food is not the best!
Personally I found that the found was lacking any flavor ! There breakfasts and lunch were not that bad but there dinners I found to be horrible.
I got sick from them serving undercooked chicken! Which they said they do this on purpose so u don’t under cook it! So all in all food is healthy but tastes horrible and healthy food doesn’t have to taste so bland !
Good customer service tho

This service is an excellent gift for new parents!
My husband and I are not from LA, so when we recently had our first baby our families couldn’t drop by a casserole or lasagna. Instead, they paid for us to receive meals from this service for several weeks. Having healthy, ready to eat meals was such a help when you’re overwhelmed by the changes parenting brings. Instead of worrying about cooking, I would just open the fridge and grab a breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner from that day’s delivery. It felt great to know I was eating well too! So many good veggies, more than we ever manage to incorporate in our cooking on our own. James was really easy to contact as well, and flexible with our needs.
Try this for yourself or treat someone well and give it as a gift!
