Splendid Spoon Review October 2020
Splendid Spoon offers ready-to-eat, nourishing, plant-based smoothies, soups and grain bowls. Their plans are designed to create healthy routines for breakfast and lunch, so you can reach your health goals. Each meal contains clean, fresh, plant-based, gluten-free, and GMO-free ingredients. They kindly sent us this box for review.
Splendid Spoon is a plant‑based meal program that consists of ready-to‑eat, pre-portioned, calorie‑controlled meals that are made with only whole ingredients. They are a brand built on the idea that just a few small changes can create a lasting impact on your health. They believe in supporting the quest for a simple wellness routine that establishes sustainable habits.
All meals are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and low in sugar and sodium. Detailed nutritional information for each of the meals is always available on their website. You can customize your weekly order by choosing from their 40+ meal options so you only receive the meals which fit your dietary needs.
Splendid Spoon smoothies are created to satisfy hunger, boost nutritional intake, and kick start metabolism. They are significantly lower in sugar than your standard smoothie, and rich in protein and healthy fats.
Their plant-based soups and grain bowls are filling, ready-to-eat and loaded with veggies. They help boost nutritional intake, and curb afternoon snacking.
Splendid Spoon also offers a set of 5 light soups, called their Full-Day Reset, that are designed to reset your digestive system. Three for meals, and two for snacking.

October Box Contents
Each month I’ll share the list of every item that came in my Splendid Spoon box and will choose a few to give a more in depth review on. This month my week’s worth of meals consisted of:
- Creamy Butternut Squash Noodles
- Sesame Noodles
- Kale Pesto Noodles
- Red Curry Noodles
- Green Curry Noodles
- Tangy Ginger Noodles
Here’s a closer look at a highlighted item from this month’s Splendid Spoon box:
Red Curry Noodles
“Coconut-rich curry simmered with sweet potatoes and a squeeze of lime. COCONUT MILK Rich in electrolytes to aid hydration; CURRY An immunity superhero.; and SWEET POTATO Vitamin C rich, your immune system will thank you.”
The ingredient list includes: Rice Noodles (Water, Rice Flour, Canola Oil), Coconut Milk (Coconut Extract 60%, Water) (Tree Nuts), Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Water, Red Curry Paste (Chili Pepper, Garlic, Shallot, Salt, Lemongrass, Sugar, Kaffir Lime, Galangal, Coriander, Cumin, Cardamom, Citric Acid), Lime Juice, Tomato Paste, Olive Oil, Thai Basil, Cilantro, Garlic, Ginger, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Salt
This was delicious! These new noodle bowls are such a great idea. This was the first one I tried of the bunch. It has a mild curry flavor with a bit of a kick which was really tasty. The sauce is light and full of flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked and you’d never know they were rice noodles (or maybe I’m just used to eating rice based noodles). They really do have a great texture very similar to traditional pasta though. The kale and sweet potato added perfect contrast in texture, flavor and even color to the noodles and made for a great overall meal. I would absolutely order this again. It was a nice change of pace from the usual soups and stews from them that I eat for lunch.
Splendid Spoon Review October 2020 – Final Thoughts
I am so excited that Splendid Spoon sent me all of their brand new noodle bowls to test out this month. I love noodles and could eat them every day so was really excited to try them. Just like all the rest of their dishes and smoothies, these bowls are amazing! They are full of flavor and healthy ingredients and the perfect meal size to keep me full. They are of course vegan too so, but have such a range of flavors regardless – from Asian flavors to Italian flavors. There are a few with cheese flavors even. The Creamy Butternut Squash Noodles made with broccoli and turmeric sound absolutely perfect for fall – I’ll be eating those next! I love that they keep introducing new products to their line so that there are even more options of delicious meals to choose from. I truly can’t recommend this meal subscription enough, it’s so good you have to try it! Especially these new noodle bowls!
