As of September 1, 2022, Veestro is officially out of business. It seems that the company is going through a period of transition with their CEO Mark still determined to offer delicious plant-based meals. After a bit of snooping around, we have discovered that the new support team’s email is actually: veestro@territoryfoods.zendesk.com. This probably means that Veestro is going to be absorbed by Territory Foods. If you want to know more about this exciting new meal delivery service, please read our Territory Foods review.

How Veestro Works

The beauty of ordering from Veestro is that everything can be customized to suit your needs. You can order subscription-free from the a la carte menu and handpick the meals that suit your taste and cravings. If you do not want to pick your meals one by one, you can opt for one of its handy, pre-designed Chef’s Choice meal packs that are delivered weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly. In case you are trying to lose weight, you can select one of its 2 weight loss meal plans and decide how many days per week you want to enjoy Veestro meals and how often you want them delivered.

After you choose your preferred ordering method and select the items in your order, the chefs take over. Organic products are turned into high quality, delicious dishes. All the meals are certified as vegan, non-GMO, and preservative-free. Some dishes are also gluten-free.

As we already mentioned, you can order with or without a subscription and even if you opt for recurring deliveries, you can modify, pause or cancel your subscription whenever you want. Just keep in mind that all changes should be made at least 7 days before your next delivery in order to avoid undesired deliveries and charges.

Veestro How It Works

What Makes Veestro Different

Veestro is not the only veggie-oriented meal delivery service on the market, but its eagerness to please and passion for food are indeed unique. The folks behind Veestro strongly believe that you are what you eat, so junk food is out of the question. Everything that they prepare for you must be up to the highest standards of quality, both in terms of health and nutrition. Choosing the right ingredients and being persistent about choosing nothing but the best is one of the staples of their cuisine. And the entire process doesn’t end with you just enjoying a tasty meal. They want it to end by putting a smile on your face and making your day.

Eloquently summing up what their food is all about, the creators of Veestro explain that their meals are designed to be:

  • Health pleasing – Figures show that eating a plant-based diet lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes by 62% and cancer by 20%. Regulating blood pressure is also a potential benefit.
  • Weight pleasing – People who eat plants weigh less and have a lower body mass index. That is achieved by being able to eat more and feeling fuller on fewer calories.
  • Planet pleasing – Eating a plant-based diet eliminates up to 1.5 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year. This is equivalent to removing 500.000 cars off the road.
  • People pleasing – Yes, you read that right. Eating plants actually makes you happier, as it pleases your health, your weight, and your planet, not to mention your sensitive taste buds.

All in all, this is a very strong case in favor of a plant-based diet. Putting this much passion and love into designing and preparing meals for subscribers definitely shows, as you can see in this Veestro review.

As suggested previously in this Veestro review, the company’s offer can be divided into 3 major categories. You can choose between a la carte ordering, Chef’s Choice meal packs, and weight loss meal plans. Let us take a closer look at each of these convenient options.

A La Carte

The a la carte menu allows you to handpick your meals and order whenever and whatever you please. You can choose from 50+ breakfasts and entrées. More specifically, there are always about half a dozen breakfasts like burritos, breakfast pies, scrambles, and croquettes and 40+ entrées suitable for lunch and dinner. The items can be filtered by special diets, allowing you to narrow your choice down to high-protein, gluten-free, low-calorie, soy-free, nut-free, and kosher options. Everything on the menu is prepared with hand-selected ingredients by top chefs. All plants used were produced on organic farms and are certified as non-GMO.

You can look forward to enjoying plant-based delights like Jackfruit Pozole, South Indian Coconut Stew, Veggie Empanadas, Eggplant Casserole, Moroccan Melange, Golden Chickpea Stew, Spinach Pie, Kale And Quinoa Salad, and many others.

While you have full control over what goes into your deliveries, there are limitations in terms of how many items you can order. You can opt for 10-meal, 20-meal, and 30-meal boxes.

Chef’s Choice Meal Packs

Chef’s Choice meal packs offer you an even easier way to eat healthily. These convenient bundles offer a variety of meals prepared and pre-selected by Veestro’s culinary team. The bundles come in 3 variations, including Customer Favorites, High Protein, and Gluten-Free. Like in the case of a la carte ordering, you can opt for 10-meal, 20-meal, and 30-meal boxes. You can receive deliveries every week, every other week or every month, depending on your preferences. Of course, you can switch between bundles, skip a delivery or opt out of recurring deliveries at any time.

Weight Loss

The weight loss plans allow you to effortlessly shed a couple of pounds by enjoying tasty and healthy meals designed to help you change your eating habits, improve your health, and get slimmer without all the hassle. You can opt for the 5-day plan or the 7-day plan, decide whether you want your meals to contain gluten, and have your meals delivered every week.

Both meal plans bring you 3 meals per day and allow you to fill your fridge with tasty vegan meals designed to get you fit. The average calorie count is 1,200 calories per day and each delivery includes 1 week’s worth of food. The meals in your orders are pre-selected, thus leaving little room for customization. Fortunately, all the dishes are delicious and satisfying even though they are low in calories.

Nutrition Facts

Each Veestro meal yields 1 serving and contains 220 to 570 calories. However, it is important to note that weight loss meals do not exceed 460 calories per serving. The portions are not huge but they are filling and usually amount to 12-16 ounces.

The meals are not high in fat and rarely contain more than 15 grams of fat per serving. On average, the meals contain fewer than 20 grams of protein, with the exception of high-protein meals, which can have up to 36 grams per serving. Most of the meals contain plenty of carbs (45 or more grams per serving).

Heating And Storage Tips

Veestro meals are flash-frozen. Therefore, you should keep them in your freezer until you are ready to enjoy them. In a freezer, they can last for 8-10 weeks. If you keep them in your fridge, you should consume them within a week. However, it is best to keep them in your fridge for just 1-2 days for optimal nutrition, freshness, and flavor.

Each Veestro meal comes with detailed reheating instructions printed on the packaging. Generally, you have 3 reheating methods at your disposal. You can reheat your meals in a microwave or an oven or on a stovetop. Veestro recommends heating on a stovetop by transferring the meal into a heated skillet and cooking for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the meal. Alternatively, you can transfer your meal into an oven-safe dish and bake for about 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 400°F. Finally, the quickest way to reheat your meals is to use a microwave oven. You should peel back the plastic film on the container, place the container onto a microwave-safe plate, and cook on high for 4-6 minutes. Whichever method you choose, you should let the meal rest for 2 minutes after reheating.

Pricing

With Veestro, the price you pay per serving primarily depends on the ordering option you choose and the number of meals in your order. If you order a la carte and place a one-off order, you pay $13 per serving if you order 10 meals, $12 per serving if you order 20 meals, and $11 per serving if you order 30 meals. Shipping is not included. With recurring a la carte orders, you get a 10% discount and free shipping.

Veestro Pricing

Chef’s Choice meal packs cost $117 if you order 10 meals, $216 if you order 20 meals, and $297 if you order 30 meals. All Chef’s Choice bundles come with free shipping.

The 5-day weight loss plan costs $175.50 per week while the 7-day weight loss plan cost $226.80 per week. They both come with free shipping.

As you can see, you only pay for shipping if you order a la carte and opt for one-off orders. In that case, you pay a $9.99 shipping fee per delivery.

  1. | March 11, 2020

    Each month I order 20 meals which I freeze and have lunches or dinners for the entire month, sometimes more if I eat out. I decided it is important to have at least one cooked meal per day and Veestro helps me stay consistent!

  2. | March 2, 2020

    I think that the hardest part about being a vegan is food preparation, for myself at least. There are limited healthy options around where I work and I often don’t have time to prepare my meals in advance, sometimes I barely have time to eat at all! So once I’ve discovered Veestro, my eating habits drastically improved as well as the food quality, I especially like that you can choose dishes according to food allergies, I have an allergy to soy, and there are several soy free dishes I can always pick.

  3. | February 18, 2020

    I have just started the 5 day weight loss plan and find the food good. I can add whatever spice I choose too better that than getting super spiced. A lot of tomato sauces and south of the border meals. I don’t know how often the meals change (rotation) and could not find that on their website. The three meals a day is (for me) too much food. I haven’t had anything horrible to eat or inedible. After reading the reviews I may check out WF frozen meals – I didn’t know they had their own. I’ll get my second week and probably cancel. I feel that the website is not too user friendly.

  4. | June 7, 2019

    I really wanted to like this…but its mindnumbingly bland. Just finished my first round of 10 different meals and I don’t think there is anything that I would order again. I’ve had to add spices or other ingredients to practically every meal because they are just flavorless. Like other reviewers have said, its on par with frozen dinners from Whole Foods, but for like double the price. I can’t imagine Veestro set out to make such bland meals, and its not like the ingredients are low quality or anything, I wonder where the point of failure is happening. Spices guys! Seriously.

  5. | May 18, 2018

    Tried 4 different meals and was surprised that they were basically like the frozen meals you can get at Whole Foods as far as taste and quality, but Veestro is twice the price. Very disappointed.

  6. | May 4, 2018

    It’s a bit esoteric, even if one favors healthy fare. Following the heating instructions, in a powerful microwave, left the food tepid. We found that doubling the heat times was better. None of the entrees could fairly be described ‘to die for.’ It was with great enthusiasm we systematically tried the bulk of Veestro’s menu but failed to not make the cut when all factors (taste, ease of ordering and price) were included. As an afterthought, a pizza try was an absolute failure. It crumbled so badly after baking, it was close to inedible.

  7. | December 5, 2017

    I like the fact it’s organic and the prices are, let’s say, reasonable, but I’ve had better.

  8. | November 15, 2017

    I don’t want to sound like someone who doesn’t think things through and then makes it look like it was somebody else’s fault, but I picked the 7 day weight loss plan and now I have to figure out where to put 42 meals. I know it says 42 meals when you order, but I just didn’t think about it then. Isn’t there a better way to organize deliveries, I could build a fort out of all these meals?!

  9. | July 14, 2017

    And this is what I call good vegan food! I’m so happy that they have 7-day plan, because Veestro’s dishes are the only food I want to eat from now on!

  10. | April 16, 2017

    Not really the best vegan food I’ve ever tasted, but still pretty good and above all convenient.

  11. | January 8, 2017

    Finally, a meal delivery for vegans! I’ve tried a few other deliveries, but their so-called vegan food is awful! Luckily Veestro showed up. I just have a bit of a problem with the delivery time cause I’m not always there to receive it, but it’s manageable.

  12. | October 2, 2016

    I’m all about eating healthy, but after ordering from Veestro I know I’ll never be a vegan. The food is ok, but it kind of tastes too much apart from anything I’ve ever tasted. Don’t know if it’s just me, but something is off. Pass.

  13. | September 16, 2016

    Longer working hours are preventing me from fully enjoying my love for vegetarian cooking. But with services like Veestro, I can count on eating healthy meals without sacrificing anything from my schedule

  14. | September 1, 2016

    I’ve tried like a million vegetarian juice programs – restaurant chains, supplement manufacturers, even those that everybody hates. But Veestro juice program is way above the rest. A sincere recommendation to all!

  15. | August 22, 2016

    Only bad thing is that FedEx just leaves your package outside your front door. I had an emergency so I had to run out for the whole day, and all of it just started thawing on my front porch. It was still good, but I can’t imagine what it would be like if I had to wait another day to get home. Other than that, the meals were very lovely. Fix the delivery, guys!

  16. | August 5, 2016

    A perfect meal plan for all vegetarians and vegans out there. Can’t believe how tasty and balanced every meal is. I haven’t tried many delivery services, but I guess I’m staying with this one for the time being. Great menu, great choices, great portions, great food!
