Fresh City – Breakfast, Salad Jars & more

In today’s world, its hard to resist the temptation of eating out and hitting up all the new hot spots in Toronto’s ever growing food scene. I’m 100% guilty of this as I’m surrounded by all this temptation everyday working 9-5 in the financial district. I can tell you for a fact that it is way too convenient for me to buy a morning Starbucks, head down again to the food court for lunch, followed by an afternoon snack (probably something incredibly unhealthy) and then hitting up a new restaurant for dinner all in one day. Hopefully, all this is going to change for 2018, as my new year’s resolution is to implement a healthier day to day lifestyle. (Yes I know, this is generally everyone’s new year resolution for the first quarter of any given new year haha)

Anyhow, I recently discovered an organic grocery & meal delivery service that allows you to be lazy & healthy at the same time. Fresh City offers customers organic produce, recipe kits and pre-made snacks and breakfast jars for those that are on the go! In this blogpost, I’m going to be sharing with you the snacks, salads and breakfast jars that I’ve tried with Fresh City.
