My day in general I wake up 10 minutes before work, grab an energy drink, log into the laptop, and then get a headache around 3pm when I realize I haven’t eaten (let alone eaten) a single thing. nutritious thing). Between my ADHD hyperfocus and concurrent ADHD time blindness, I have a tendency to eat like a toddler and let random produce go bad because out of sight is absolutely out of mind. Sometimes I feel like a sim The Sims 4Wandering uncertainly around my house in search of somethingNot realizing my needs all flashed red. When I remember to eat, I’m a grazer, and I can eat charcuterie or adult lunchables for 90 percent of my meals. I love containers. I love finger foods. I am a foodie can’t Doesn’t like to think too much about his next meal.

Each jar is full of goodness. Filling salads are smartly packed, with dressings and wet ingredients towards the bottom and fresh vegetables towards the top. Just shake them up when you’re ready to eat and you’ll have a dressed, fresh salad in no time. They’re also tightly packed—sometimes I’ve had to eat a few forkfuls of undressed spinach to have enough room inside the jar to shake well. Of course, you can dump the whole thing in a bowl. For products like produce cups—cut-up pineapple or apples with almond butter, carrot and celery sticks, with hummus—or spreads like tuna salad, just dig in. (Note that you will need to bring your own crackers.)
What I love most about GardenCup is how much easier it makes my life. I’ve already talked about money, doctor appointments, going to the gym, career growth, maintaining my friendships, my godforsaken emails, the state of the world at large, and whether or not I can pull off cool-toned purple lipstick. thinking (I can’t.) Despite my love of delicious food, the last thing I want to think about is eating a weird meal three times per day. Gardencup lets me go on autopilot for a while. I reach into my fridge, grab a cup of some, and eat it knowing it’s nutritious and tastes good after all. Sometimes the food is a little bland – my chicken noodle soup could have benefited from some black pepper, and if I wasn’t reviewing them I’d add my own dressing to some of the salads. But the trade off is absolutely no problem for me and my lifestyle. ‘It’s better to have a cup of food and need to add your own dressing than not to have a cup of food. And eating more easily and often these weeks with the help of GardenCup means that cooking or going out to dinner has felt like a luxury and less like something else on my to-do list.
