I have been ordering meals from Parkside Mealprep for a few months now and it’s been so delicious. Being a vegetarian it is challenging to get enough protein intake and Chef Ariel has been coming up with nutrient dense delicious meals to meet our dietary needs. It has been such a positive impact on our lifestyle, to not worry a lot about meal prepping over the weekend, while still getting healthy meals during our busy week. Chef Ariel also works closely with me every week to include a variety of options so that we are getting a variety of menu without a lot of repetitions. The communication between the delivery team is also incredible and it allows me to plan my day accordingly. Everyone in the team is incredibly kind and thanks to Chef Ariel, Julio, Geoff and many others who are behind the scenes and making this possible.
I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful team to cook, prepare, and deliver my meals each week! When first moving to Chicago it was a struggle settling in. But my friend recommended Parkside to me, so I decided to give it a try. This is seriously the most talented and kind people I have ever met! Every week I look forward to their delicious (and affordable!) meals. Usually meal prep foods are bland and uninteresting, but every day I am so excited to eat my food prepared by the Parkside team. Dont mean to sound like an ad, but I just had to sing my praises, as every week I am so grateful for them. Thank you so much Ariel and your amazing team of chefs, your support is greatly appreciated!
As a celiac that has no skill in the kitchen, Parkside Meal Prep came along right when I really needed them. The quality of the proteins, fruits, and vegetables is top-notch. The flavor profiles are amazing, and there is very clearly a lot of creativity involved in bringing tasty meals to people with challenging allergies. I highly recommend this service (they deliver Sundays and Mondays)!
Just the absolute BEST. I’ve tried pretty much every frozen meal delivery service out there and got so tired of frozen food. This is NOT that. Everything is fresh and delicious. Little details like fresh herbs are perfection. Julio and the team are so capable and kind. Options are great; I can switch things up and have a nice variety. 12/10 recommend.
Our son is a teenage athlete, with food allergies, and I just cannot keep up with his nutrition needs along with everything else. I don't like the big-name meal kits, as they send SO MUCH wasteful packaging, require selections, auto bill you, etc. Once I found Parkside Meal Prep, I realized that I'm getting all the benefits of a personal chef for the price of a meal kit that takes effort! Talk about a SCORE! It is personally delivered, everything is beyond gorgeous, and I feel good knowing I'm supporting another mom while feeding my growing teen the best I can. He was so excited to finally get to try a crepe. THANK YOU, Ariel & team! We're so grateful! Also, the minimal packaging is cute, functional, recyclable, well-labeled, and easy to reheat. ****CLAPS!!!**** Can't wait for our whole family to join in.
"I have allergies to gluten, dairy, and egg, which makes ordering in nearly impossible. Parkside not only has a plethora of weekly menu items that already fit my very specific dietary needs, but have consistently worked one-on-one with me to customize any menu items in inventive and tasty ways. After realizing I could no longer consume chocolate, they customized my favorite sweet potato brownie to fit this new restriction, and then made it a fixture on the weekly menu!"
