1. The CONVENIENCE of it being delivered! I HATE grocery shopping. It is just not my thing- I dread it every week. I end up with the same groceries because I never know where anything is located. I normally have Emersyn with me so I am not looking to be in that grocery store for long periods of time.
2. FRESH produce! Sometimes the produce at local grocery stores can look less than appealing. I love having fresh, organic fruits and veggies on hand. It makes eating healthy so much easier.
3. This makes it EASY to try new things. I am more likely to check off a new food to try on a checklist than to pick one up at the store. I never know how to select a good mango or kiwi, so I always stick to my normal apples and strawberries.
With these reasons in mind, I couldn't wait to check out what Green B.E.A.N. had to offer. Upon exploring their website, I was pleasantly surprised to see they not only had lots of ordering options but the process was so easy!
Before I go into what I ordered exactly, let's learn more about Green B.E.A.N...
Green B.E.A.N. is a dynamic food company that takes a multifaceted approach to building local food systems. B.E.A.N. is an acronym that represents our core initiatives; Biodynamic, Education, Agriculture, and Nutrition. There goal is to make healthy and sustainably grown local food affordable, accessible, and convenient to the Midwest communities.
If you visit their website at www.greenbeandelivery.com you will be able to see all their pricing, food selection, and delivery options! After looking at there different options (which include small, medium, and large produce bins, fruit only bins, or produce and grocery bins) I decided to go with the small produce bin. This bin allowed me to select from their list of fruits and vegetables and was a perfect amount for my small family of 3.
Once I selected my bin and what I wanted inside of it, I decided on a delivery start week. Then, one week later I came home from work and there on my front porch was a green bin full of fresh fruits and veggies. I was so happy to have all of this yummy goodness ready to wash and eat, and I NEVER had to make a trip to the store! THANK YOU GREEN BEAN!!
So in my bin I selected and received:
kiwi
lemons
pears
spinach
mint
mangos
carrots
avocados
tomatoes
cucumbers
cilantro
Oh my, it all looked so incredibly fresh and delicious. I immediately popped Emersyn in her high chair for a taste testing session. She loved the mango, kiwi, and avocado but was not loving the tomatoes- haha, like mother like daughter!
We have been enjoying fresh salads (with spinach, tomatoes, carrots, cilantro), spinach/egg omelets, avocado on our turkey burgers, mint in our tea, snacks of yogurt with mango and kiwi. I can honestly say it has been a HEALTHY week of eating in our home thanks to Grean B.E.A.N.! As we use the produce from this bin, I now have the option to have a bin delivered every week or every other week, and each week I can change what I want delivered in my bin- how awesome!
I think for my next bin, I am going to find a great NEW, healthy recipe and put all the ingredients I will need into the bin to be delivered.
