WANT TO SEE WHAT'S COOKING?
ACCOLADES
Cibo Meals is literally a life saver for me. As a full-time working mom and educator, finding time and energy to meet my body’s basic needs is sometimes a stretch. As a social justice-focused educator, organizer, and mom, Cibo Meals helps get so many things I desire out of food AND community. It’s convenient AND sustainable?!? I get all that, while supporting my neighbor in in their local woman-owned business. Good food and interdependence are where it’s at!
My family loves Emily and Cibo meals. We are not vegetarian, but her vegetarian homemade meals are tasty and come with thoughtful dressings, sides and protein recommendations. We get them almost every week because they’re so convenient.
We order Cibo Meals regularly. Love how sustainable the business model is with reusable bags, jars etc. There’s hardly any waste if any at all. All the meal options are vegetarian and we love them — and we aren’t even vegetarians! You could easily add meat to any of the dishes, but we prefer them just as they come. There is always something new and delicious that I would never think to cook myself. Our toddler even likes it too (win!!)
