We all know that clean eating promotes a healthier body and mind, but with our irregular schedules and hectic lifestyles, proper meal planning can be a chore. Furthermore, not all restaurants and cafes that serve healthier options are easily and conveniently accessible from the workplace, home or school.
With that in mind, The Greenies was established to sort out your ideal #eatclean meals in a glass jar. Every salad is carefully constructed with the freshest and safest ingredients that are sourced locally, and your body will be fuelled with the right nutrition that’s absolutely good for you. Best of all, there are 8 jars of diverse combinations you can choose from.
Not long ago, we tried out the Mortar Pestle Pesto and Superfoods salads from The Greenies. Much to our surprise, the jars of salads were delivered to us chilled and properly packed with little seals that displayed the names of the salads. We also didn’t expect the jars to be that big and so tremendously filled to the top.
All we had to do was to shake up the jars to allow the ingredients and dressing to mingle, then open them up to dig in with our forks. It was supposed to be quick and effortless, but we had trouble unscrewing the mason jars as they were so tightly sealed. After 10 minutes of tirelessly prodding a knife between the screw caps and the jars, we finally got to our salads.
The Mortar Pestle Pesto salad (RM12) was definitely our favourite of the two we tried, simply because it was more sinful. The pesto was very flavourful and we loved that there was some sort of meat in our salad. The cheese also added oomph to the salad with some richness and saltiness, offering a savoury satisfaction you’d get from a regular meal. To be honest, we’d eat this everyday!
The Superfoods salad (RM15) wasn’t our cup of tea, but it’d be a wonderful option for anyone who is on a plant-based diet. There was a hint of tanginess running throughout the salad although it wasn’t much. Having said that, we really liked the variation of textures coming from the different ingredients. The slightly salted broad beans also made the salad extra substantial and palatable. It’s a great mid-day pick me up though, we have to say.
Currently, The Greenies’ salads in a jar are available at PJ 21 Body Factory Gym & Fitness Centre, C180 Cheras, Ikon Cheras and PJ Trade Centre, with more locations to be unveiled in the coming months. We can’t wait to try the other salads The Greenies has to offer! Above all, the salads are pretty affordable for such big portions, and we get to up-cycle the jars too.
