Daily Harvest earns mixed reviews: it excels at convenient, plant-forward smoothies that many find tasty and inspiring for healthier habits, but its savory bowls and some scoops/ice creams often disappoint with bland, gritty, or chalky textures. Reviews also flag small portions and inconsistency across flavors, while praising easy prep, variety, clear ingredients, and manageable subscriptions; several cite a serious past recall and packaging waste as concerns.

Appreciate this service as a way to kick start my smoothie making and inspire me to make different smoothies on my own. It was especially good as a way to help me eat healthy while I was in grad school. Bonus for the fact that you can now charge it to your FSA/HSA! I had a tough time understanding how to purchase officially through FSA and their customer service was significantly better than expected.

Great flavors (especially a fan of the soups and harvest bowls). Daily Harvest definitely saved me from some serious cooking fatigue during the pandemic. The smoothies were my least favorite - expensive and very few benefit vs a DIY smoothie. I stopped subscribing because of the wasteful packaging and price point.
Feedback
The main reason I'm not subscribing to DH is the high price point. While it's healthy and really good quality, it just feels expensive for frozen food, and the packaging feels wasteful.

I tried two of the Daily Harvest products: the Strawberry + Peach Smoothie, and the Artichoke + Spinach Flatbread. The smoothie—which involved adding "your preferred liquid" (I used fat-free milk) to the ingredients of the cup and blending—tasted just fine, but seemed like a fair amount of work for the $9 I paid for the product. It didn't add any significant convenience or ease, esp. if you are already used to making smoothies each morning. The flatbread, which was nearly $10 at the grocery store, was also tasty, though needed a bit of cheese added to give it a flavor boost. I might buy the flatbread again, but the smoothie just isn't worth the cost or the effort.


Love the variety, flavors, and form factor of Daily Harvest. Everything from the smoothies to the soups, to the breakfast bowls, are tasty and give you options when you're trying to eat healthy! In addition, I like that the DH team has put some thought into the sustainability of its packaging ✌🏼🌍

In general, pre-packaged food is wasteful. This isn't solely a DH problem but I would love the option to pick-up my subscription in the local grocer without all the delivery packaging enclosing it.

The ingredients are prepared so you can put it in the blender and get the best fresh taste. The combo is just right. Great taste of combinations and I love the bits of cacao to chew on. The mint was light and added a nice refreshing flavor. There's mix of veggies and fruits for a balanced nutrition. It's very tasty and nutritious. The price tag is a tad high. This is more of an indulgence to splurge occasionally.

I tried all the flavours and there was only two that I stuck with. Preferred the smoothies to the other foods on offer. Brand did its job, service was decent.

Could be cheaper.

I received a ruined product. I reached out to customer service and was told I would receive a replacement today. It never arrived. Above and beyond that, I felt the initial response I received was slightly inappropriate for the situation: “Thanks for reaching out. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. We're receiving a lot of love from our customers at this time and are doing our best to get back to you in the order that we've received your message.” REALLY ? That’s slightly obnoxious. I was further surprised that no credit was offered along with the replacement. I had to wait an additional week to receive my delivery. The issue for me, is that I had planned on eating Daily Harvest for dinner this past week, and had to shop for more groceries and meal prep instead. The customer service agent went on to confirm my address and make sure I would be home to receive the delivery. I confirmed the information and that I would be home, but again it never came today. I do want to be clear, that I had been home for the initial delivery. I said thank to the delivery man for bringing the boxes up the driveway and everything. Daily Harvest, what’s happening? I have been a loyal customer for years, but now I am asking, Is it even worth ordering from you again ?! I hope this is not your new normal. Truly disappointed across the board.

I bought the Daily Harvest subscription because I was impressed with the wide range of selections and the premium quality of food. I also like the recommendation on the app each week you look at your orders and make you want to try new things. Love the photography of course lol and gives you this very clean delicious look and feel that makes you want to try everything!
Feedback
oftentimes the food pkg came in crushed or sometimes my smoothie can be half-opened. but since it is frozen I sort of don't mind it as much and just shuffled it back and put it into my freezer. I didn't get to try everything yet but I really don't enjoy the bowel at all : ( it definitely looks like nothing from the photo and taste Nah.... I tried to feed it to my husband and he thought it looks like prison food... def not getting the bowl ever again...

I am SO late to the Daily Harvest train. I am post-debacle late. And yet, here I am, a new loyalist, which even I feel weird about, but I must say, I aged into their demographic: of late I have way less time to cook nutritious meals, and, I'll be honest, their pastas and smoothies, are, like, really good.
I tried Daily Harvest for a few months (receiving three shipments in all). I really tried to like it but I was rather underwhelmed. The price was too much for me for the about of food I received. The vegetable bowls were severely lacking in size and flavor, IMO. The fruit smoothies were decent but I wasn't crazy about the flavor combinations and I wound up giving most of my last shipment away to co-workers. Sorry to say but I moved on to other meal / vegetable delivery services and would not go back to DH.
Daily Harvest offers convenient and delicious meals, perfect for busy days. The variety of smoothies, bowls, and soups is impressive, and everything is healthy and easy to prepare. While the price is a bit high, the quality makes it worth it!
The smoothie packs were good but they are SO expensive for what you get. I could make my own smoothie packs in freezer bags for way less money.
I've tried dozens and dozens of Daily Harvest smoothies and about a handful of its soup and stirfry options. The product photography is so beautiful and appealing, and the ingredients of most of their drinks are hard to find—like lion's mane or spirulina. The smoothies and soups were easy to make, albeit a little challenging to get the right ratio for a consistency that matched the ads. The serving size is also on par for one person or perfect to split with another for a snack.
Feedback
What could use improvement is the expectation setting for folks making these at home. It'll never match the ad campaign imagery and the minimal instructions sometimes left me tinkering for a bit to get a decent texture.
The number one important thing consumers look for in food is the sensory experience. Their products may be healthy, but they missed the most important things: flavor, mouthfeel and appearance. The flatbread was soggy, bland and just looked sad. The smoothies were fine, but tasted worse than something I could whip up in 5 minutes from fresh produce. I don’t get the value proposition sadly. Further, the dry ice was split open in the box and numbed our hands when trying to remove the items. This was just a let down.
Feedback
Improve taste. Reduce packaging waste. Reconsider the value proposition.
I have tried almost every flavor of smoothie and all of the latte pods and I was completely underwhelmed. The smoothies despite being blended in my Vitamix all still seemed kind of chunky or chalky. Not an enjoyable sipping experience. The lattes were mostly meh but the turmeric one was truly horrible while the matcha lemongrass was actually pretty good. If the matcha lemongrass latte pods were ever to be sold in a supermarket I would probably purchase them, otherwise I would pass on everything. The products are expensive and unfortunately the flavor, texture and quality just don’t reflect that price point.
I bought them once because I liked the idea - they're kind of expensive and don't make me as full as I'd like. The flavors are delicious though!
Love the packaging, hate the taste. A real disappointment. The flavors are dull. I am a sucker for aesthetically pleasing packaging, but the taste is so bad that I cannot get over it. 10/10 would NOT recommend.
The cauliflower with tomatoes and pesto is out of this world. So yummy. I have bought it over and over.
Overnight oats changed my life
I like some of their smoothies, but all are loaded with sugar and many are very very high in calories. Yes, yummy - and I guess more healthy than sorbet or ice cream.
