Splendid Spoon has a large variety of plant-based prepared meals and smoothies with good quality ingredients, and delicious, unique recipes.
Noodle Bowls
Most of their noodle bowls are about 200 to 240 calories for each 8 oz serving. You get 1.5 servings per 12 oz container, which is deceiving because they say there are 2 servings per container.
Smoothies
Their 16 smoothies are about half the calories at 120 calories per serving, give or take. But, remember that each bottle has two servings. They even have low sugar smoothies as low as 5 grams of sugar with no added sugars. That even fits into a keto lifestyle!
Soups
Their 19 soup and stew options range from 60 to 240 calories per 8 oz serving, with each providing 2 servings per container.
Grain Bowls
Their 11 vegetable and grain bowls have two 8 oz servings and range between 170 to 240 calories per serving.

All of their meals are gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based, diabetic-friendly, and low-calorie. If you are looking to eat healthy and lose weight, you don’t have to read labels here.
Ingredient Quality
- Non-GMO
- Organic
- Soy-Free
These vegan meals don’t add sugar or salt, or any crazy chemicals or preservatives to make their food taste better. Splendid Spoon uses herbs, and real spices to create great tasting food that’s anything but bland.
Instead of using soy sauce and strange MSG-infused ingredients, they use coconut aminos and bright flavors like Thai basil, lemongrass, and Cardamom.
While their smoothies have mostly organic ingredients, the meals and rice noodle bowls do not list any organic ingredients. All ingredients are non-GMO, though.
At this price point, I would have liked to see all organic ingredients.
Taste
I tried their new noodle bowls, and loved almost all of them, which is unusual to find in a meal delivery company. The Red Curry and Green Curry Noodles were my favorite!

Splendid Spoon has higher than normal prices for their meals and smoothies, especially their new noodles which come in at $16/each.Â
