The Vegan Garden - Hayward

Many of the meal options appear to be tailored for those looking to lose weight. Despite that, even the regular meals are lower in calories and fat while still being high in flavor. We’ve complemented our meals with fresh toppings like swirl for chili, crackers for soups, and salsa for the Mexican-themed dishes to enhance the flavors, but many items are excellent on their own. My favorites include the enchiladas de Colorado, shepherd’s pie, chickpea curry soup, and quinoa burrito. However, I found the beef and broccoli and the Szechuan spareribs to be a bit too oily for my taste. So far, we’ve only tried the delicious dinner options, so I can’t comment on the quality of the smoothies, desserts, or breakfast items. The service is incredibly attentive, and this company makes it easy and convenient to eat well. Thank you, Vegan Garden! Updated from the previous review on November 8, 2018.

Many of the meal packages include postage costs, which must be considerable since they use FedEx overnight shipping. Their meals seem particularly designed for those looking to manage their weight.
