Leaf it to Me

The new ownership has yielded a poorer quality in salads, portions and diversity. We were wowed by the salads before. Now, not so much. We’d love to continue having this service, but are unhappy with the change in ownership. We want to have our socks knocked off with each salad. Currently not worth the money we’re spending.

This salad delivery has changed my life!
I was introduced to Leaf it to Me, a salad delivery service about a month ago, through a friend. They deliver gourmet salads to offices anywhere in Vancouver proper.
I work downtown, and there are a lot of salad bars around, but I find that it’s such a hassle to go out at lunch and stand in line, just for a mediocre salad. I always end up getting the same thing. Or, I cave and get something fattening, just because the line is shorter.
Leaf it to Me posts their salad menu online, so I can see what will be coming in the next while. If I don’t like something, I can call and substitute a plain salad, or a cup of soup.
Basically, the idea is that they do all the chopping for you, and you add the protein. I keep a bag of hemp seeds in the fridge for when I’m lazy… but I try to bring in some black beans or boiled eggs to add to my salads so that it’s more filling. My co-​worker, who does the plan with me brings in canned tuna. You can also get them to add protein, but I never do.
The plan is so affordable too! If you can get a co-​worker to split it with you, it’s $ 52/​week (they only deliver M, T, Th, F — I don’t know why not W), so it works out to $ 6.50 a salad.
It’s a lot cheaper than what you get at the salad bars.
And the salads are so tasty! They use quinoa quite a bit, and there is lots of variety of veggies on the leafy salads. The dressings are fresh and delicious. Also, I don’t eat cow dairy, and they have no problem just leaving it off, or substituting it with goat dairy — which is a great bonus!
If you’re trying to lose some weight, or if you just want to stop eating nasty fast food, this service is for you.
