The Paleo (or Caveman) diet is the ultimate choice for getting lean.Mindful chef brings that to your door step.They create recipes for you,send the ingredients and you just need to cook.Doesn't that sound interesting and healthy?In this fast paced life,if somebody creates a recipe and send the ingredients to your house,it would be such a blessing. Mindful chefs are doing that for you.

I had the opportunity to try 3 of their recipes.The experience was amazing.The packaging was outstanding.The ingredients were fresh.Each meal's ingredients were in a paper bag which was marked.The recipes were very simple and so healthy.

My meal kit had 3 easy recipes.
The first one was-
Spiced lamb kebabs with caraway and beetroot salad-
As you can see the ingredients were organic and tasted really fresh.The recipe was super simple and needed only a bit of oil.I never imagined that things ingredients can go so well together and make a healthy and tasty dish.

The second was-
Shredded chicken with coconut,squash and tenderstem medley-
Super healthy and yummy again.The veg part without the chicken also tasted quite good.

The third one was-
Roast peppered steak with harissa sweet potato wedges-

The sweet potato wedges with harissa were an instant hit and a regular now.I was amazed how all these ingredients went so well together and made a splendid meal.

All the recipes were superb,the ingredients were no less than the best,freshly picked up from the farms.

I loved the recipes and really enjoyed cooking them as well.They were very simple and hardly needed any time.I felt so good after every meal.
