Nourishment That Feels Like a Gift – Inspired Go

06/01/2025

With all the sports and activities starting up this spring, life and our household has been busy. Healthy meals are often the first to be overlooked. But as a natural planner, I know that by planning ahead, I can ensure that there are healthy meals ready for our family that can nourish our bodies. I recently had the chance to try out Inspired Go, and let me tell you—it’s more than just salad in a box.

Inspired Go is all about ease to healthy eating, and that mission really comes through in every detail. From the easy ordering process (I did it all via my mobile phone while I watch my kids play their sports), to the chef-crafted recipes that actually taste fresh (not pre-packed or soggy), it feels like a brand that gets what it means to nourish yourself with intention—even when life gets hectic. I appreciated that there is also a variety to choose from – salads, snack packs, breakfast options (hi overnight oats), and more!

Trying it for the first time, I was not sure what to expect. But I can honestly say that their meals are not only fresh, they are truly good (my husband also devoured a salad or two that was meant for me). It is real food with fresh ingredients but most of all, it does not require any cooking from me. It fits nicely into the rhythm of our schedules. My favourite has been the California Crunch Salad, while my kids went straight to their snack packs before I can even say go.

It’s one of those small choices that adds up to a great day. Whether it’s a quick lunch between facilitating Mommy Connections classes, or something nourishing I can grab after a long afternoon full of editing sessions, it takes care of me when I’m not always great at remembering to do it myself. I often forget my body needs and appreciates real and good food. 

And something I discovered while ordering our meals —they offer beautiful gift bundles! Whether you’re supporting a new or expecting mama, sending a thoughtful surprise to a friend, or just want to treat someone you love (like yourself), these bundles are such a sweet idea. You can never go wrong sending someone something nourishing, postpartum or not.

Inspired Go has reminded me that wellness and taking care of myself doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it starts with a forkful of greens, eaten peacefully between classes or editing sessions —and that’s a great small step to take care of me.
