I have never thrown away a Mealpal order until now. Even when my sushi burrito was dripping with excess liquid like a wet towel, I soldiered on because I normally don't like wasting food if it is still edible. However, the Gusto I ordered from Crave Healthy Habits was beyond salvageable. The Gusto is a mixed salad with chicken, avocado, and leafy greens. When I arrived to pick up my Gusto, I noticed that all the Mealpal orders for the day were already made and were left sitting on the counter until their respective owners picked them up. Pre-making Mealpal orders isn't unusual for participating restaurants, but the quality just avalanched for my Gusto. The avocado already had black-brown patches and a rotten taste, meaning it probably wasn't the freshest even before it oxidized. The chicken was dry and scarce. The leafy greens that took up the majority of the box seemed wilted. Even the two salad dressings that came with the Gusto were sour. They were dairy based, so it's possible that the dressings were left out on the counter for too long. After two bites, I threw the whole box into the garbage. Despite the restaurant's self-proclaimed healthy menu items, this seemed worse for my body than stuffing myself with cake. I warn you to stay far away from here for your next Mealpal order.
