Prep Dish
Their motto is Shop once, prep once, enjoy stress-free meals all week. Their meal planning system has completely changed my dinner time routine (for the better). They provide Paleo and Gluten Free meal plans, with a grocery list, prep instructions, and cooking instructions.
The idea is that you take a couple hours to prep each week and then when it’s time to cook dinner, you’ve already prepped the meal and you’re halfway done. Honestly I didn’t know what to do with myself for the first week. I had so much free time, and no rush!

It started as a farm, and has grown to be that and so much more. Azure is dedicated to organic and natural principles. We’ve shopped here for bulk foods, animal feed, yogurt, grass fed meat, fresh seasonal produce, and more. They’re based out of Oregon, but they ship throughout the country.

I love the model of Imperfect Foods. They source the “ugly” produce that isn’t perfect enough to make it to the grocery store, and sell it at a discount to you and me. They’ve recently expanded to offer more than just produce, discounted. They’re on a mission to reduce food waste and I love being a part of it! They’re available in most major cities, and are growing rapidly.

In your quest for real food, you might struggle to find quality meat in the stores near you. If you live in the country (and have a big freezer), you might be able to buy a quarter cow straight from a farm (like we do). Crowd Cow is the next best thing. They partner with independent farms and provide the highest quality of meat and deliver it to your door. True farm to table food. Pastured chicken, craft beef, wild caught seafood, and more. Plus, you get to learn a little bit about the farm your meat came from.

Ultimate Bundles consistently impresses me with their products. From the natural living bundle to the essential oils & herbs bundle, to the homemaking and even the photography bundle. They always have something new up their sleeve. They gather hundreds of resources for each bundle (worth thousands of dollars) and sell them for 80-90% off.
