Rachel Drori Rachel Drori is the Founder + CEO of the Daily Harvest, a food company on a mission to improve human and planetary health.

Queens Rachel Drori started the frozen food delivery service Daily Harvest in 2015, funding it with $25,000 from her savings. She started making smoothies on weekends in a commercial kitchen leased in Queens, paying her teenage nephews $20 a night to deliver them in Manhattan.

Yes! Our food is entirely built on plants - including fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, pulses, and whole grains. We do not use any animal-derived ingredients in our food. Is Daily Harvest dairy-free, soy-free and/or gluten-free?

Why is Daily Harvest frozen? We freeze our ingredients (and items) to provide the highest quality nutrients, flavor, and texture possible. We begin by picking our produce at peak ripeness and then freeze our ingredients shortly after harvest to lock in flavor and nutrients.

But it's not smoke and mirrors - the products are made with ingredients that are actually good for you. Daily Harvest ensures every product is all-natural and plant-based. “We use nothing but real food, and never use additives, preservatives, or fillers.” Which is great.

Every product that Daily Harvest offers is 100% plant-based and vegan, made from fruits, vegetables, and spices. The products won't go bad quickly and only take minutes to prepare. The DTC subscription model simplifies the process for customers and has helped the startup hone its supply chain.

Rachel Drori went from making smoothies for herself (and freezing them for later) and her friends and family to launching plant-based frozen meal delivery service Daily Harvest in 2015. Turns out that plenty of others want the same.

Daily Harvest specializes in plant-based dishes made from whole food ingredients. All products are vegan, gluten-free, and largely organic. Everything arrives frozen and mostly prepared.

Each year, Daily Harvest inches closer and closer to our goal of 100% sustainable materials (compostable, recyclable, or post-consumer recyclable (PCR)) for our packaging, cases, coverings, and whatever else our food touches.

Is Daily Harvest good for weight loss? Daily Harvest does not claim to help support weight loss. Instead, it's designed to simply help people eat more healthy plant-based meals. That said, most entrees contain 400 or fewer calories, so some individuals may find themselves losing weight by using Daily Harvest.

Because you get to choose the items in each shipment, Daily Harvest is also a good choice if you're looking for easy breakfasts, lunches, or snacks to enjoy throughout the week. However, each meal contains just one serving, so Daily Harvest is not a great option for families.

That's why I love Daily Harvest – it's convenience, customizable, fast, easy, and they have ingredients you can see (they're also listed on the cup!) They're frozen, so the ingredients always taste fresh and everything I've tried has been delicious, even if it's not by typical flavor preference.
