Beyoncé's New Vegan Delivery Service Promises 22 Days Of Flawlessness
Beyoncé has launched her very own 22-day vegan delivery service. Yes, let all the "all the vegan ladies" quips commence.
The "Drunk in Love" singer partnered up with her physical trainer Marco Borges for this home delivery service called 22 Days Nutrition. It's based off of the philosophy that it takes 21 days to break a habit and the 22nd day is when you're off to a fresh start. They're focusing on that habit of being carnivorous and breaking that so you can introduce more plant-based foods into your diet.
The way the service works is that the meals—which are organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free—are delivered to your home once a week. (And they'll deliver anywhere within the continental U.S.) You can either buy packages for one, two or three meals a day, with prices ranging from $9.76 to $16.50 per meal. Their sample menu has dishes like Curried Indian Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Bowl, Sesame Cabbage Lentil Bowl, and Ratatouille Pasta with Pesto. We have to admit, the photos of the food, which you can see here, actually look pretty good.
Beyoncé and her beau Jay Z tried out the 22 Days Nutrition challenge back in Dec. 2013. It was kind of a big deal when they visited vegan-friendly restaurant Cafe Gratitude to celebrate the Hova's 44th birthday.
Support for LAist comes from
"If I can do it, anyone can," Beyoncé said in a statement.
Well, that doesn't exactly make us feel like it's so easy since Queen Bey is Queen Bey for a reason. Not everyone can be as flawless as her, but we can pretend for a moment as we graze on quinoa and lentils.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
