What is it about the holidays that makes us all want to eat everything in sight and way too much of it…?? Holiday parties are a plenty and so is TONS of food that we are not used to eating…

Luvo

You only live once (I guess)!

After Thanksgiving, I was given the opportunity to review the amazing food company that is Luvo.

Luvo [loo- vō] has Latin roots, and it loosely means to give aid or strength to accomplish a purpose. Luvo is a movement that sparks the belief that leading a healthy lifestyles creates your best self and inspires the world around you.

Luvo makes quick, healthy freezer meals that are packed with delicious ingredients! I cannot say enough great things about the meals that I have tried – which is MOST of them!

The 3-2-none philosophy that Luvo has built their wholesome meals from is something that I need to adopt into my own life…not just when I eat their meals…

3 – a meal formed with a balance of protein (1), whole grains (2), and vegetables (3)
2 – less sodium (1) or added sugar (2)
none – no artificial colors, artificial flavors, or artificial sweeteners

This isn’t the first time I have tried Luvo meals – you can check out my other reviews here and here.

This time around, I kept my eating of Luvo meals to my working lunch and I have really tried to “beef-up” the meals. Adding extra vegetables and healthy fats helps me add some extra nutritional components that will keep me full longer in the afternoon.

For me, I choose to make my lunch the largest meal of the day. As long as I am keeping my lunch fresh and wholesome, I don’t find myself getting sleepy and food coma-like the remainder of the workday. Frankly, I am not all that hungry for dinner in the evening!

My favorite meals to make into a larger meal are the Luvo Planted bowls!

Recently, they added their Bowls and Plant Based Bowls to their website ordering – and it was super easy to these varieties (since my local store did not carry them until recently). While we have found that the available meals are guaranteed to be in stock, you can at least see if any stores in your area even offer Luvo on their shelves!
