Meals
REFINE BY
According to the Friedman School of Nutritional Science and Policy at Tufts University, “you pay for convenience with nutritional negatives” in many frozen meal options. For example, pizzas and frozen burritos—favorites for many—are loaded with calories. Tufts recommends doing your due diligence the way you would with any packaged food. “Invest some time during the first purchase of a new type of food to do a little comparison in terms of calories and salt. You should only have to do this once so it should not be too time-consuming or tedious.” Luckily, Thrive Market recently launched a new line of frozen meals that covers all the bases when it comes to flavor, nutrition, and quality ingredients.
Building a Better (Frozen) Bowl
Or frozen bowls and skillets were designed with your diet in mind, which is why we have something for everyone—including options that are Whole30®, paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
- Ready in a flash: Five minutes is all you need to get lunch or dinner on the table. Our better-for-you dishes can really save the day when you’re pressed for time.
- Sustainably sourced meat: Premium proteins like 100 percent grass-fed beef and GAP (Step 3) certified chicken are just some of the sustainably sourced meats you’ll find in our favorite bowls.
- Organic ingredients: Vegetables, spices, grains, and oils are all non-GMO or organic (whenever possible).
- Sugar and dairy-free options: To accommodate more diets, some meals are made without dairy or refined sugar.
- No additives or preservatives: None of our meals have preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, propylene glycol, or artificial colors and flavors. Plus, you’ll find lower sodium rates than many conventional options.
