I am a picky eater, so I never sign up for a plan where they decide what you get each week and you have to order a fixed amount of meals. I don't always eat all my meals at home, so the number of meals I order depends on what's on the calendar for the week to come. Happy Penguin not only offers the flexibility of allowing me to pick and choose from their vast selection of meals - and order just as many or as few as I like, but their offerings are DIVERSE and DELICIOUS! Their deliveries are dependable (and the containers are recyclable). Bonus - I usually get two meals out of each Happy Penguin meal I buy, so it is an excellent value for the money as well. P.S. I LOVE the "Build Your Own Meal" option where you can choose your protein, your carb, your veggie and any sauces you might like!

My family and I, we love this place. We are continuously ordering! Food is fresh; delivery is timely, service is excellent and significant portions! Every meal we ordered is delicious so far. Great weekend lunches with a glass of wine! Thank you, Happy Penguin Healthy Food!

Just had my lunch - a portion of the chicken, mushroom and asparagus on rice. It was absolutely delicious. No gristly spots in the chicken, and no woody portions of the asparagus stems (both of which I have had in other pre-prepared meals from other vendors. I heartily recommend Happy Penguin!!!! (this is all that is left from that delicious meal I just enjoyed!)

I love this delivery service! I am a busy mom who is in school full-time so I don't always have time to cook an evening meal. This service has come in so handy when my weeks are jam packed! It's nice to know there is a solution when I have finals/midterms that is healthy and keeps my family full! Thank you so much!

I hate cooking but I want to eat fresh, healthy food. I have tried quite a few meal prep places and Happy Penguin is hands down the best. I have no idea how they can offer so many choices! There are pages of meals available on their site to choose from. I love being able to have a variety. Other meal prep places I have tried don't offer this kind of variety and I find that everything kind of tastes the same even when it's different. Not the case with Happy Penguin. And the portion sizes are very generous!! I freaked out the first week I ordered because the food was not cold when it was delivered, it even felt a little warm. I reached out to them and they let me know that they deliver right after they cook the food so it shouldn't be cold. Give them a try if you are looking for a meal prep service. You can do weekly plans which brings the price down a bit but you also can just order when you need or want it, no contract. Their pricing is also really good compared to other places I have tried.

Happy Penguin is a life saver! I have been searching for a meal delivery service for quite some time now that would work for my family of three. I lost the ability to cook for my family a few years ago due to inflammatory arthritis that affects my arms and hands. Meal time became a huge source of stress and frustration for us and ordering fast food all the time is not a sustainable option for good health. We have tried several healthy "meal prep" services but could never find a place that met all three of our criteria and it would usually just be one or two orders before we were bored and were on to the next meal prep service. We are going on our 6th week of ordering Happy Penguin and not a single one of us has been unsatisfied or bored with our meals. We each get to pick what we want for the week which gives us the freedom to eat what we like. The food is always delicious and the portions are generous. They allow you to substitute certain items (regular pasta instead of zucchini noodles for my teenager, etc.) and if you don't like something, just put it in the notes. I have never seen a bigger selection of meals available than Happy Penguin has to offer. Some of our favorites include chicken parmesan with zucchini noodles (regular pasta for my teen), slow cooked beef tips with mashed potatoes, chicken meatball soup and their breakfast açaí bowls. They also add new menu items regularly. They deliver on Saturdays and Mondays in the evening so you can choose which option works best for your family. Tip: If you're ordering for a family try searching "15 meals plan" and ordering from those options, it will save you a few bucks off of certain items here and there. Thank you, Happy Penguin!

I have been using Happy Penguin for 10 months now so I feel I can give an accurate review. I have been extremely happy with their service and the food. I have a 3 years old and a full time job so cooking is not really an option. I do cook a little every week end but during the week I need a ready to go meal to warm up. I have been using meal services since my son is born and I've tried a lot. I am very picky on the freshness and I don't want frozen meal. On top of that, I need to eat very clean because I have endometriosis so I need non GMO or organic food. I also recently swicthed to a gluten dairy free diet to improve my condition and their whole 30 plan gives me options. Their portions are very generous so when I order chicken it will usually give me 2 meals. For fish though, I count it as one meal. There's also a LOT of choices. I am very impressed by all the options on their website. If you go and compare other services, it's like a joke. I did not see a meal service that deliver fresh food that has as many options as Happy Penguin. They also deliver Saturday and since I prepare all my meal for the week the Saturday, it fits right into my schedule. So yes overall, I am super happy with them and I want to continue to use them for a long time because they provide quality, flexibility and choices. Budget wise, I spend about 100$ per week for about 6 or 7 meals but it will end up giving me 10 to 12 meals depending of the portions. It all depends of your appetite I guess. Oh and they also list every ingredients anda calories! So you know exactly what you eat. If you are looking for a good and affordable meal service, I would give it a try, especially if you have dietary restrictions.

Amazing quality and service that goes above and beyond is what I found here. I'm a professional who is constantly working, and as such I have very little time to prepare food for myself. Going with Happy Penguin has given me convenience to eat delicious food that is also healthy, while letting me avoid the downside of frequently eating fast food.
Since i'm always working, i've been trying to find a good alternative to eating out all the time. For me, this is definently it! Very yummy! I've been feeling healthier since I started the meal plan too!

I have taken entirely too long to post this review so now let me take the time it deserves. You need the backstory to understand my first experience with this company. About 7 months ago (maybe more), I broke my ankle stepping on an unseen scooter at the bottom of our back yard stairs-strike one. 5 days later I was trying to hobble into the kitchen with the massive boot and crutches that had been set wrong and I felt them twist behind me. I couldn't stop it and I flew backwards. I broke my tailbone-strike two and that was it. When I say that I couldn't do anything by myself, I mean ...nothing. Couldn't shower because of the ankle and had to have people help with a bath because of the tailbone. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy...and I was a runner. I couldn't cook, make coffee, clean the house, carry food or drinks. I was in excruciating pain constantly. I could barely make it from one room to another. I am fortunate to work from home but even that...I had to have have ice packs all around me just to sit for a little bit before I coudn't stand it. Our 11 year old learned how to make coffee, and I would sit and tell her how to prep food and cook. She did as much as she could with school. In the midst of this my CEO, who had also just broken her ankle and couldn't believe that I'd also broken my tailbone, gifted me a food delivery service. There were several options but Happy Penguin Healthy Food just looked like it had a more interesting flavor profile. I grew up vegetarian and we relied on Middle Eastern, Asian, Spanish, Mediterranean, Northern African etc. It was all about spice and flavor. When I began eating fish and poultry years later, that didn't change, and Happy Penguin seemed to have some of those flavors that I love and crave. I decided to order, hoping that the food actually was as good as the pictures looked. I ordered a weeks worth for 2. I contacted them via email because I wasn't sure about the delivery date, explained my situation, and received a response detailing everything. Fast forward to delivery...knock on door. It was Happy Penguins. I was sitting up in bed working and I thought they would just leave it but our daughter said he wanted to bring them in. I was mortified. The house was beyond a mess, I was beyond a mess because I hadn't been able to bath, and here he was standing on the door wanting to bring the food in rather then leave it on the door. I told her to let him in and he promptly removed his shoes, and carried all of the bags (that smelled AMAZING) through our disaster area of a house. I waived at him and thanked him...mumbled an apology for the state of the house and me. He said that he had been given my email about our situation and had decided that he was going to deliver it himself. I believe he was one of the owners. It was so thoughtful of him and as embarressed as I was, I was impressed by his kindness. I wish I had pictures but I don't. I can tell you that our meals looked just as good or better then pictured. The vegetables were beautiful and the proteins incredibly high quality. I ordered several salmon dishes. They didn't skimp on the portion. It was always a beautiful meaty portion perfectly cooked. Every single dish was cooked and flavored on point. The sauces were excellent and healthy as is all of their offerings. They did not over season, erring on the side of caution for people who may not like a lot of spice, which was fine for us. We added a bit of salt on some things and some other spices like Garam Masala or Sambal Oeleck to others based on what we liked. It was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone. This is real, high quality food, cooked with health in mind but also flavor. I had only one issue and that doesn't detract from my 5 stars. We ordered the fish tacos that on the site came with corn tortilla's. Our family actually does have celiacs in it, so I chose to go gluten free years ago and it's made a huge difference. Our daughter has not needed to and

Kristina and her team do an awesome job with their online meal prep service. I have continually enjoyed eating their food, which is healthy and delicious. I would highly recommend this meal prep service!

I have tried several different meal prep companies and this is by far the best one. The portions are generous and the food is so fresh and tasty. Compared to a lot of other "healthy " meal deliveries their calories and carbs are lower in general. Some favorites are their chicken lettuce wraps, shredded lime chicken with cauliflower rice and chicken meatballs. Their customer service is amazing. Kristina was so quick with responding to emails. Thank you Happy Penguin Healthy Food!

Decided to try them out and did not regret it. Food was absolutely awesome, delivery was prompt, and did i say the meal was great? Will definitely use them again. Maybe tonight...
