7) ORGANIC VEGAN MEALS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME
By Brigette Dumais
Trifecta deliver organic vegetarian and vegan meals to your home and office.
Today I had the opportunity to enjoy Trifecta's French Riviera Lentils for lunch. Unlike most packaged foods,
which tend to be bland and uninteresting, the French Riviera Lentils had a bold blend of flavor. The green lentil
base was accompanied by large slices of portobello mushrooms, chunks of onion and carrot, half walnuts, and
steamed kale. I finished the entire serving, and it left me feeling full and nourished.
