Chickpea & Feta Power Bowl
All of my meals arrived very warm so I didn't eat any of them.

Greek Grilled Chicken Salad
Interesting but slightly boring in flavor and a bit too much quinoa. Would have preferred feta instead of goat cheese. Very nutritious and full of fiber. Butternut squash was interesting. Wish there was more salad dressing as it really added to the overall flavor but it wasn’t enough for the whole salad. Wish there were more cranberries and larger pieces of pecan. Pecans weren’t crunchy maybe because of the moisture in the salad softening them.

Greek Grilled Chicken Salad
It was very interesting and very nutritious and crunchy. It could have used more salad dressing as the portion was huge. But I find it a bit hard to believe that it contained 890 calories as it was fat free basically except the dressing. I won’t order it again but I’m not a huge fan of quinoa and goat cheese. I would have preferred feta and more cranberries. Pecans weren’t crunchy. But it was very creative and gourmet.

This was tasty! Generous amount of pearled couscous. There wasn’t much greens and they were a little wilted
