Overview
This is a brand that started with a smoothie business: fruit and other smoothie ingredients packed in cups and delivered frozen to be whirled in a home blender. The company has since expanded to include an affordable variety of other breakfast items, savory grain and veggie bowls, soups, snacks, flatbreads, and frozen desserts. Most food comes in the same type of recyclable cups as the smoothies, all frozen. Empty the contents in a bowl for microwaving or a pot for heating and your meal is ready in a snap. You can customize your box of plant-based menu items that emphasize fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods.

Pricing and Plans
When placing orders, you'll first need to select a box size—either Small (9 items), Medium (14 items), or Large (24 items). Then, simply fill the box with whatever menu selections you like. While pricing depends on what you order, Daily Harvest offers volume-based discounts; the more items you buy, the more money you'll save.
