Mosaic
Mosaic has you covered whether you are looking to follow a vegan or vegetarian meal plan. Their meals arrive frozen to help preserve freshness/crunch and extend shelf life. They can be heated up in minutes, making it so easy for families who have to juggle different dining schedules due to work and extra-curricular activities. Mosaic removes all of the hard parts for plant-based beginners— learning new recipes, spending a lot of time cooking and at the grocery store, wasting fresh fruits and veggies, etc.
