Thistle

Thistle, founded in 2013, provides healthy, prepared meals delivered directly to your door, focusing on improving human health and reducing environmental footprint. The company offers a variety of plant-forward and high-protein meals, snacks, and juices, with both plant and meat protein options. All meals are 100% gluten and dairy-free, with vegan options available, and use complex, protein-packed carbs like whole grains and legumes. Designed by nutritionists and chefs, Thistle’s meals are fully prepared, ready-to-eat, and feature a globally inspired menu that changes weekly based on seasonal ingredients. The meals are crafted to meet macronutrient needs and provide essential vitamins and minerals from whole, organic foods, without added sweeteners or preservatives. Thistle sources fruits, vegetables, and nuts from local farms that prioritize high-quality, sustainable ingredients. The company offers custom meal plans to fit individual needs and provides easy delivery to work or home. Thistle operates in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, and Utah, and focuses on sustainable sourcing and reducing energy, water, and waste footprints. The menu features over 40 superfoods, including turmeric, maca, spirulina, ginger, matcha, chia, and moringa, and uses housemade coconut cream, nut cheeses, and flavorful dressings instead of dairy. By-products of pressed juices and meals are donated to local farmers for composting. Thistle’s meals are designed to promote more energy, a sharp mind, less bloat, and clear skin. The company also offers gift cards and supports various dietary preferences, including dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, soy-free, tree nut-free, peanut-free, seafood-free, shellfish-free, coconut-free, and pork-free options.
