Gobble Review
Is This Food Delivery Service Any Good?

1. Perfectly Prepped Ingredients

What Gobble lacks in some areas (we’ll get there, be patient), they make up for with convenience. Like they promise on their site, ingredients are perfectly prepped. Every item was meticulously chopped, peeled, and diced. As they claimed, prep work was literally zero for each meal I made.

Cooking the meals also didn’t require a spectrum of equipment rivaling the Top Chef kitchen. At most, I used two pots or pans simultaneously. Meal kits are clearly chosen to be made with as little effort as possible. I wouldn’t go so far as to call the cooking process kid-friendly, but rest assured that you won’t need to have much skill in the kitchen to whip up something delicious.

2. Diversity of Meals

Just because Gobble’s primary selling point is convenience doesn’t mean you’re going to be eating a boiled potato with a side of beans. When it comes to flavor and diversity, Gobble brings their A-game. From what I experienced, there were at least five different ingredients per serving.

A lot of thought goes into a particular recipe, and it shows. Their meals are not short on components that work very well together. While not exactly “gourmet,” their menu is contemporary without being pretentious.

Here are some examples of what they’re serving:

• Sirloin Steak with Smashed Potatoes & Three Peppercorn Sauce
• Chimichurri Chicken with Sautéed Vegetables
• Thai Pineapple Red Curry with Shrimp & Jasmine Rice

Erm… yum, right?

3. Great Number of Options

Unlike some meal delivery services that have set menus each week, Gobble allows their customers to choose whatever they want from a surprisingly large selection of meal kits.

Their website clearly shows the options available for a particular week and even lets you take a gander at the following four weeks’ offerings.

I have to admit that the number of options was a big bonus for me. As you’ll know by now, I’m quite particular about nutrition, and there are certain ingredients I won’t touch. Regardless, I felt that, between the two meal plans, there was never a shortage of meals that suited my needs.

Some high-falutin’ customers with more refined palettes can also choose meals that contain ingredients like scallops or lamb shank, just be prepared to pay a little extra for these.

When selecting a particular meal kit, you also have the option for some exciting add-ons per serving. For a couple of dollars more, you’ll be able to select from several additional ingredients to bulk up a particular meal.

There’s even the odd dessert option. I opted for gooey chocolate chip cookies, which were exceptionally good, even though I felt a tad guilty after eating way more of them than I should have.

Summary of Gobble’s Pros

• Great option as a first-time meal delivery service.
• Huge variety of recipes on their two menus.
• The ability to include add-ons to every meal.
• Meal kit delivery happens in sealed containers, keeping the food fresh and cold.
• There’s a great variety of ingredients per serving.

So, what’s the outcome of my review? Personally, I wouldn’t continue using Gobble. But that’s only because I prefer a service that caters to more specific dietary regimes. I suspect many of our readers would feel the same.

Simply put, for the cost of their service, I’d at least expect a vegan menu. A paleo or keto option would also be welcome additions.

For a meal delivery service that has more specific dietary needs covered, I can’t recommend Trifecta Nutrition highly enough. There’s so much to love about their service.

Here’s a quick summary of why Trifecta is my recommendation:

• Free delivery across the entire United States.
• All meals are pre-prepared and only require you to heat before you eat.
• Trifecta takes nutrition VERY seriously. Their target market includes bodybuilders and other athletes.
• Their meals are all fully organic and gluten-free.
• If you factor in the free shipping, their prices are very affordable.

There’s a lot to like about Gobble – all of it covered in this review. But if you’re taking fitness and nutrition seriously, Trifecta Nutrition is the way to go..
