YA FEEL?
& EATING THE SAME FOOD AS VICTORIA’S SECRET MODELS ISN’T EASY, BECAUSE IT ISN’T CHEAP. BUT WE’RE HERE TO FIND OUT IF IT’S WORTH THE HYPE
WELL, WE TRIED SAKARA, THE ORGANIC, PLANT-BASED & GF MEAL DELIVERY PROGRAM FOR 5 WEEKS; WE TRACKED OUR WELLNESS JOURNEY BELOW. SAKARA IS KNOWN FOR THEIR CLEAM, READY-TO-EAT MEALS, DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU LOOK + FEEL SEXY. BEST PART - EVERYTHING IS DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR - INSERT CHRISTMAS MORNING FEELS UPON OPENING.
We're also always down for a challenge and we wanted to see how long we could last on a plant-based diet. One of the best parts about Sakara is the piece of Palo Santo they place in your first delivery --sourced from mystical trees in South America-- used as an ancient cleansing ritual. Traditionally burned at ceremonies or prior to moving into a new place to cleanse the space energetically. Once you light it, you are essentially marking the beginning of new pathways, habits and creations.
Besides being vegan food you actually want to eat, another reason we love SAKARA: all the detail that goes into every aspect of the program. From the on point branding to each meal container describing the superfood spotlight ingredient and its benefits on the label. This helps to be present and connected to each bite. Transformation rally starts from within.

HONEST SAKARA REVIEW
CAMRYN's two cents
TASTE ◦ I loved every one of their savory dressings + Sauces and all the Meals had amazing flavor, there were only one-or-two meals I didn't LOVE the taste of and sometimes the breakfast waffles etc. were really dense, but there is a great variety of food throughout the week. I licked up every last bite + SOMETIMES EVEN HUMMED TO MYSELF WHILE EATING, especially in the morning.
HUNGER ◦ The serving sizes are large, I was always full and satisfied - especially when drinking the tea they provide
IMPROVEMENTS ◦ Increase in hydration + nutrition. My normally dry skin feels amazing, overall I feel way better than before. I'VE LOST 10 LBS FROM INCORPORATING A PLANT-BASED DIET.
PROS ◦ Not wasting time in my day to think about what to eat is underrated, they switched from bottled beauty + detox water to the concentrates which gives you extra to use later on, I'm OBSESSED with how I feel and SAKARA worries about the rest.
CONS ◦ the copious amount of greens can be extra hard to get used to but once you get the concept of eating your water its all in your head, at almost $20 per meal this unfortunately isn't something realistic long-term for many but it’s perfect for a detox, and totally worth it.
TAKEAWAYS ◦ 1) I realized even i can eat a mainly plant-based diet and ENJOY IT 2) I'm more aware of how food affects my body and make different decisions now 3) SAKARA is the perfect wellness reset & something I will try to continue once a month.
brooke's two cents
TASTE ◦ Fresh, organic ingredients and yummy versions of traditional meals, delicious dressings and sauces. It’s like for every meal you’re eating at a gourmet restaurant, so fun!
HUNGER ◦ After each Sakara meal I was always left satisfied and full, and felt really energized and good. Throughout the day I was never hungry the meals kept me full for a long time. Although sometimes I couldn't finish the meals because they are so big and full of ingredients.
IMPROVEMENTS ◦ My skin has never been clearer or softer, my energy level has been consistent and improved. I also feel more clear in my head and i’m not craving sweets or animal products AT ALL, which was surprising to me.
PROS ◦ it’s nice to just grab and go when you’re busy. All the nutrients you need you’re getting and you don’t have to think too much about it. The meals are delivered in the middle of the night so you wake up to the freshest meals possible.
CONS ◦ Getting used to eating SO many greens was hard at first, but now I crave salads / greens because I know how it will make me feel and look. The price tag is high, but I have found it to be worth it because I now know what kinds of foods, ingredients and portions that my body needs to perform at its best.
TAKEAWAYS ◦ This is a great program to get comfortable with the nutrient dense foods that you should be eating and putting in your body. I also drew ideas and recipes that I will be able to recreate at home and make myself.
